One can see that people are moving on...

Farber, maybe I am wrong but I thought the bombsight problems weren't fixed. As always, Blackdog_kt says it best:

Any German speaking members of the community willing to come up with a transcript and translation? If someone translated this, he could then send it to the youtube uploader to make it into on-screen annotations.

On the Lofte bombsight issues excuse me for asking again, but i would really like a clear answer from someone who tested it.because i don't have a clear answer yet.

Up till now, there was a mix-up between imperial and metric units in the sights: for some algorithms user inputs when calibrating the sight were treated as metric, for some others as imperial.

One work-around was to bomb by converting speed from km/h to mph and input that into the sight. This method results in correct release point calculation because that algorithm "thinks" the speed we enter is in mph, so if we convert our speed to mph it will work correctly.

However, it results in incorrect tracking of the target, because the other algorithm that pans the sight when automation is engaged "thinks" the speed we enter is in km/h.

So, if we convert to mph the bombs will hit what the crosshairs aims at, but the crosshairs drift off the target and the player has to constantly disable automation, recenter crosshairs and re-enable automation.

If we don't convert our speed but input it in km/h directly, the sight doesn't drift off the target but the release point is wrong.

Has this been corrected? If it has then He111 here i come (at least until the 88 gets a working gyrocompass, in which case you can level bomb with that one too).

It will be a blast to fly these properly. The 88 can't climb that easily, but you have the option of dive bombing. The He111 can't dive bomb but you can fly higher.

Only those not living in Britain could possibly think it is summer yet!

I think you mean Jimbop... Obviously my picture of zoidberg was to distracting for you.

Hey all, my two cents, Many people have moved on from the forum "TO PLAY THE GAME" now many of us can... I for one have spent more time in the cockpit rather than on here.

As Farber mentioned MP Campaigns!

I doubt it. I'm happy for everyone enjoying CloD but in my gaming group CloD is officially dead. Most people don't even bother to check the forums anymore because they're fed up with yet another "something totally unexpected just happened which prevented us from releasingyaddayadda..."

We have actually grown because of clodo, maybe because we have stuck in there and crossed over virtually on release. - I dont know. We have around 14 active members however one of the big things keeping people away from training is there isn't much action going on between squads because of the problems. We used to fight 26 times a year in old IL2, in clod in the last year we have fought only 8 times, well heres year two of Clodo and our multisquad campaign starts on the 17th, theres around 5 squads per side and my Staffel members promise at least 10 will show up... So its looking up from here.

same here. and moreover i can see the average of the players of il2 returned as before clod..

Most of my friends who are old IL-2 fans tell me they have removed iCoD from their hard drive as I have done. They have either moved on to something else or are back to IL-2.

I don't even check the Friday updates anymore. If I see a new version released on Steam I might reinstall it and try it, but I won't hold my breath. Its a damn shame.

It´s not a shame, it's normal consequences of the politics of 1C ... sad, but it´s the true.
