A request for more features to make IL-2 a better game, not just better software.

The amount of people that still flies Il2 is more than an evidence; to the hyperlobby stats you need to add also the SEOW campaing flown two times a week with 80 players online.



omg really luthier said that?! That's a dooming problem for all the wings i suppose..

Yes, in a Q&A last year he said he's sees no need to add/change any coop interface for CloD.

well if he didn't change his mind, that is a disastrous choice.

I disagree here... I've never worked with CloD's FMB, but from what I've heard it really powerful.

Of course... it's not user-friendly, but with experience you can create very interesting missions (without the coop's limit).

It's something like Arma2's scripting.

Can we at least get the latest patch downloaded for us that would like better performance, then start talking about what you want next.

I don't get why some developers choose to make drastic changes to what has already proved to be a success. I think most people would have just been happy with better graphics and IL 1946 game play, I know I would. I am just not keen on the driveable tanks and all that and I think it could be heading in the wrong direction. I hope I am proved wrong because I love 1946. I just think if you create driveable tanks then you have to make infantry to take out the tanks. The game then has to properly simulate how all of these vehicles work and to me would take a lot of hardware, but like I say I may be proved wrong.

If several mission builders are not happy there must be a good reason. And it is a pity that CloD cannot yet leverage their skills and experience, to enrich the game's environment.

Mission making shouldn't be this hard and it shouldn't be such a necessity in the first place. That's the point. I've done a few missions in IL-2 1946 and it's fairly hard, even with the limited scope of the FMB, to do a good mission. The last time I tried the FMB in CloD it was like all the bad stuff from the 1946 FMB with a whole lot of other stuff on top I had to learn that made it an even bigger pain.

I'm not begrudging having a powerful FMB, other flight sims and ARMA both come with one and people have used it to make some really cool stuff but those games at least came with some content out of the box. Some even come with dynamic mission generators of varying quality.

The way I figure it, if I have to learn so much scripting to get ANY content other than a lacklustre SP campaign and a few anaemic multiplayer maps, I may as well go ahead a step further and just code myself a flight sim. Hell, maybe I ought to do that, I can even sell it on services like Steam!

I'll call it PE-2 Petlyakov - Canterbury Fields. The graphics will be great and I'm sure you'll love it. The physics modelling will be up to the player but I'm sure that won't be a problem, it's not that hard to make with the physics model tools I'll include. Don't worry about the lack of documentation, I'm sure one of my loyal fans will write a wiki.

The changes are welcome and sound fantastic, but what we need is to make them accessible to the majority of CLOD users.

But they already are...it's really not out of reach, just need to jump in, fool around with it, and learn as you go. It won't be easy at first, but think of the self rewards that follow...by studying others work, I think I will enjoy creating my own ...I know its a busy world we live in, but I could squeeze in some hours a week to learn it....oh my god, NOT! you are right, average player will not devote much time to this
