4.11 General debugging

[Phabius]

I've noticed a strange behavior of AI controlled Fw190 A-4 on the Kuban map in QMB.

Part of the problem happened with other planes on other maps, and also in FMB.

Just choose a flight of one (or even four) Axis Fw 190 A-4 (Ace) and start a QMB Scramble mission in Kuban Map.
The airfield in question is near Anapa.
As soon as the mission starts, let the auto pilot take control.
After the flight, when the aircraft reaches its landing pattern, it will land far before the strip on the descending part of a hill. When it finally reaches the airfield strip, it will take a tour there and visit most parking spots before finding the right one and stops. While it's doing that, the other planes in the flight will follow the pattern landing down the hill, but only untill the airstrip is reached, when they just disappear because the first plane is still fooling around the airfield. They will never reach their parking spots.

I've seen this behavior in other missions. One I can remember was a Heinkel 111 fooling around the airfield and eventually crashing into default airfield objects. But in the case above it seems the problem is the airfield, as the aircraft takes off from one airfield and lands on another (the one by the hill). Tested with Bf 110 G-2 on the Kuban map and the same happened. The same situation in Crimea map, for example, does not happen.

In other 4.11.1 news, I'm still having quite a bit of trouble getting the AI Tse-Tse Mosquito (Mk.XVIII) to attack ground targets.
Has anyone else had any luck?
In air to air they do okay, except that the .303 and 6pdr don't converge, no matter what you set in the pre-flight... The .303 seem on target but the 6pdr seem to be angled down. (Wasn't there a Bf-110G gunpack that did the same once upon a time?) Is this a feature perhaps? I just want to see a 6pdr shell hit something...

P.S. Great work TD and thanks!

I was playing someone's template mission set on the D-Day, the invasion of Normandy...

Although landing crafts and other allied ships do fire on the German artillery standing on the top of the beach hills, these German artillery units cannot fire down on the landing crafts, but only on the ships far away from the shore. Maybe they cannot angle the guns down, to aim at the allied forces down on the beach.

(Sorry, I've posted this reply on the wrong place again - the wish list for 4.12. Should have posted it here in the first place).

HI…
On Hurricane MkI 1938 when you pouch the throttle full forward, Lbs indicator climb at 22Lbs.
I think you tried to make a 06Lbs load, did you?
Something else, when you’re flying on hurricane MkI at 2850Rpm with a 90% throttle forward, the engine overhead only about three or four minutes later ! It doesn’t sound good.
You’ve made a great job, but please stop trying to improve flight models. I think the one who take care off is a really deep idiot!
Every time you change something there it’s worse than before than we have to fix the those problems on a new bouton or java scripts.

It's a wast of time because you never reply when it concern fight models.

THX!

On the skin, the lights as such are there.

I don't, which mode are you in (conf.ini settings)? Does it help if you lower jpg quality?

It shows 6.2ish in my version, see attachment. The boost gauge limit is 8, so I don't even know how you can read it 22.

WRT lack of replies, feedback as wrong and rude as yours usually goes right into the trash.
