4.13 development update discussion and feedback

[sniperton]

Hey TD, it's terrific when you know you know, but you can't remember. Don't torture me more: what music is it there on the update video?

[Pfeil]

That video was glorious, both the features and the music.

The most exciting feature for an admittedly casual pilot like me is the course autopilot.
Did you show all aircraft that have it in the video? If not, disregard this, but if so, will it be implemented later on?

The BF110 had the PATIN autopilot(CLOD simulated this), and so did the Do-335(it has the controls integrated into the yoke, though no gauges).

The 1st movement, 'The Sea and Sinbad's Ship', is the backing for the video and is one of my favourite romantic pieces; the 2nd movement known as 'The Kalendar Prince' I also recommend.

TD, I speak on behalf of all bombadiers in saying that this update will be the single best piece of work done to improve this Sim since its inception. I also speak for everyone else in saying that this update will be the best piece of work done to improve this Sim since 4.12!

A question - will the B24 also be arriving with all the bombadier updates?

[Monguse]

Firestorm,


The US bombardier stuff you saw like the Norden and Intervalometer came the B24D parts and yes, the B24D is in our build however we need to add and tweak a few things here and there.

Stay tuned for more updates.

Fascinating and technically challenging to implement no doubt!!

question 1, how does this effect x-4 and hs/fritz x type misisle/bombs, still steer them by adjust distance and side slip?

question 2, video showed 180 mph IAS in b-25, bombardier had a guage showing 240 TAS which they then inputted, will there be a table or guage change for Axis planes as well, and for Russians too? cant wait for the new stabilizer though, thats the sweet spot as you lock into your bomb run on line with a real pilot... wow great stuff TD.

Outstanding!! It is a logical progression of this sim considering where it is in it's lifespan.. after adding aircraft and maps.. this is the next logical step ... adding more precision and more immersion.

Bombsight updates look great. What are the three little lights in the Soviet bombers at the end of the video?

[Sita]

Navigator looking at bombsight and get correcting direction of flight by pushing buttons and lit that three lamps ... and pilot flight right or left o directly ahead) ... nothing more))) in our planes all was simple)
