4.13 development update discussion and feedback

[Feathered_IV]

Some great stuff there. Congratulations to the team. May I ask, what scale is the PNG map?

[Pursuivant]

I'm glad to see the engine damage mods to the P-40, the Spitfire and the P-51.

I hope that TD will keep on bug stomping flawed damage models, particularly those for the older planes in the game. (*AHEM* - P-39/P-400)

Calm down guys, its ok
Maybe Alpha was in a bad day.
The P-40 is coming, don't worry. Just from modelling to integration, we had long delays (me too). Im sure head of DT will arrange things nicely.
Once the first P-40 is published, the rest is not that far...

Well, If we get more realistic bombsights, can we also get more realistic gyrogunsight next time ? It was used in Spitfires not only in P-51's...

Some later model Spitfires used it for sure. If we got a Spit XIV it'd be pretty much guaranteed to be there. I suppose it could be added into, say, the 25lb boost versions of the IX that we have.

Still requires modeling a new gunsight object to fit into the cockpit. Someone could do it...

So asking is humane, and clear answers would be most welcome. If free modding is not actually 'free', then let's talk about it.

You need to read whats posted in these threads correctly.

Sorry for the Question Just wondering what happened to the 1C Forums Used to be friendlier

Nothings changed still the same "where's my free stuff" posts.

Thanks for the heads up and the great work.

In fairness, one could understand the tone of Alpha's responses. Can't blame him. There's little worse than working on a complex and in-depth project over a long period of time, requiring hundreds - if not thousands - of hours of work, going back and pulling hair countless times to correct unanticipated or stubborn issues/results/etc., and making sure that what you're putting out is just right, all while not charging a cent for it...

...only to have a handful of protests - and some flippant comments - over what isn't there.

I can't wait for the Ju-88P-1, N1K1-J and the new P-40E

They were common let's say since summer 1944, so I think they should be present in all IXe versions.

But I was talking about proper function ie. ability to set distance. Right now we get only "Sight distance increased / decreased". But what distance ? 300m ? 500m ?

Thanks Alpha for the 4.13 User Guide preview.
Good to see a AI Ju88C2 (early night fighter). All flyable aircraft looking forward to fly, especially the Liberator (my father flew one in WWII).
I am glad to see you have put a bomb load on the Dora. What about a centre drop tank too?
I am very happy with new maps especially New Britain & New Guinea 43/44 - I am currently working on a large Zero campaign in this area. Good to see Tobruk.
You have a typo under 'New Ground Units' 2cm Flak 38 Vierling' is repeated twice.
All bombsight mods look very good.
Just like everybody else, I would like to see the following AI aircraft, Lancaster, Kawasaki Ki48 II (Japanese medium bomber).
Flyable aircraft - Typhoon, Spitfire XIV, Zero A6M3 'Zero-Sen' (with rounded wing tips), Radar equipped night fighters - Mosquito, Ju88C6 etc. etc.
