4.13 development update discussion and feedback

[E Hood]

For future reference, an addition to the perennial wishlist:

Sometime within the next few days I'll be uploading a new single-mission set to M4T. The base mission is the 9 February 1945 RAF attack on the German Narvik-class destroyer Z33. The stock Norway map includes an area which very closely resembles the target area, deep in Forde Fjord, where the real raid took place. A lot of new skins were made by Hayate for this mission; between those and equally accurate RaFiGer skins for the blue flights, the mission looks very good. However, there is one somewhat jarring visual anomaly: I had to use a Russian single-stack destroyer to stand in for Z33.

The overall outlines of one of the later-model Japanese destroyers - Yukikaze, for instance - would have been much better, but the Japanese DDs all have the name painted on the side of the hull, right in the middle, in huge, white characters.

It is my hope, then, that TD may be able to include a German destroyer, at least something resembling a Narvik-class DD, in a future patch.

Meanwhile, I would like once again to express my gratitude to Team Daidalos. As always, I'm looking forward very much to the next patch...and the next...and the next...knock wood.

I think it could be a great idea one time to create new textures for the whole game. What I mean is that the game is currently with 2006 graphics and I think it should be possible to make a game with new graphic just by making new texture for everything, create new "forest" and include self-shadowing. (OpenGL and DirectX?)

2048 pixel skins and ground textures are already available as mods. They really improve the game's look.

How many hoops are jumped through to get there though.

IIRC not compatible with anything normally flown online either.

If it was to go that way the old system specs would have to be disregarded,
a new game made with completely new specs under 1C's supervision for possible legal matters.
However.......if HSFX were to include it as a switchable option in the JSGME I see a more easily
approachable solution.

You can forget me with my poor Intel HD Graphic 1st gen lol. I think everyone in 2014 have a correct specs to upgrade a little bit Il2 1946.

I though about map design that need to be re-done with accurate custom cities everywhere with realistic roads locations.
