4.13 development update discussion and feedback

[Macwan]

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.

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 have owned IL2 since it first came out and bought every upgrade they produced until it was passed to Team Daidolas.

Since then I have been stunned at what has been achieved with the patches they have bought out and offered to us. After 10 years this game is still my absolute favorite simply because of the number of ways it can be played
My favorite challenge has always been Night-Fighting so since seeing the latest you-tube release, I am over the moon so to speak. The Liberator model is stunning and the new bombing options will add so much to this part of the simulator.
My Thanks and Appreciation to the Team

I want to endorse Migman's comments above.
TD's enhancements to Il2 continue to make it the greatest flight sim ever.
I cant believe the generosity of TD in their dedicated support for the wondrous virtual world that we now have in "Il2 Sturmovik" !!

ps & thanks of course to Oleg for making it, and all the independent modders as well

[felix_the_fat]

well said Migman!
TD's work has been fantastic - and continues to make this the greatest flight sim ever!

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 ?
