4.12.2 de-bugging

Floating helmets on IL-2M 1942 stationary:

Maybe I'm wrong, but I've read somewhere that pilot and crew are part of the model. So if one part of the gunner (the helmet) appears in a plane which is ripped of its crew, it's unlikely a driver issue, isn't it?

(I have and old M Radeon card with the latest drivers; the plane is a Russian stationary on the Kiev map)

EDIT: 2nd and 3rd image shows a stationary and a normal plane side by side on the Bessarabia map.

What happened to Kates? This mission worked perfectly under 4.11 but after I installed 4.12.1 Kates just won't lose altitude before attack ignoring the waipoints' altitudes!
Can anyone check this and tell me what's wrong this time, thanks!

I bought the way points lower and out further but it looks like the AI routine has been changed or affected as the Kates with torps use a shallow dive bomb pattern for some reason instead of as in v4.11 they torpedoed correctly, it could be the new terrain anti collision AI as the Kates torping ships on open water works perfectly ok

AI might need tweaking.

Thank you for the comment on the issue that worries me so much.
4.12 Readme mentioned some "improvements" of B5N2 flight model, so I think it indeed could be that DT added anti terrain collision pattern that now prevents Kates from flying low when attacking Pear Harbour.
I put much effort into building Pearl Harbour attack missions (2 waves) with historical approach routes for Japanese planes, but now the Kates with torps are unable to fly correctly.
I hope that will be fixed in future patches!

I took a look at it and my first impression is that something is wrong with B5N2 FM, if I use some other torpedo bombers they follow WP correctly but for some reason B5N2 refuse to lose alt when flown by AI. We will do something about it for next patch.

Great news! Already looking forward to it!

Just re-tested, the only ac with the problem is the IL-2M, 1942 (later series)

Then check the 1942 M early series too. Both are affected on my PC.
