4.11 General debugging

[Sapper]

I-15bis iron sight option no longer works.

Country names are still not showing in the FMB squadron dropdown list.
Names were eliminated with the 4.10 patch and i thought they'd be fixed in 4.11

I'm sure this problem must have been mentioned before, though I've had a look around and can't see anything but when flying a single mission (original or one built with the full mission builder) or campaign the skin on the players aircraft is whatever skin has been selected in the quick mission builder no matter what has been selected in the mission.

Is there a fix for this or is it a bug waiting to be fixed?

It has always been that way. The skin that shows up is always the previous skin that the player chose for that aircraft, QMB, single, campaign or otherwise. You just need to change it before the mission.

But shouldn't it be designed to default to whatever skin has been selected during the mission build and then you can change it before the mission if you want something different?

In the early days of IL-2 I guess it didn't matter much when you had only 1 or 2 skins per aircraft but now there's a lot more especially if you added a lot of skins - going through a long list of skins trying to work out which skin is correct to match your flight of aircraft before each mission isn't exactly my idea of fun.

I'm surprised no one has asked for this before. I'll stick it in the requests thread.

Can someone confirm a bug in the Patrol Type selections? When I select Random, in the missions themselves, the only patrol type I get is a Triangle Patrol with 500m legs. (See screenshot 1)

I would assume that 'Random' would randomize the patrol from the present list...Triangle, Square, Pentagon, Hexagon. (See screenshot 2)

*The waypoint 'legs' are also incorrect. They should be 5km for that particular mission (the default setting).

Hi Aviar,
The problem might be the random generator. With every mission it starts from the same seed and hence you get the same sequence of numbers. I usually place my plane somewhere on the map and fire my guns. This 'breaks' the sequence.
So, in your example you should fire your guns before you reach the waypoint where random pattern is generated. The pattern will probably be different then.
