beyond 4.13

[P-38L]

Some people say that comparisons are odious. But if we do not compare, we do not learn.

This magnificent flight simulator should have more options. I list some of them.

1. Aircraft as the Li-2 and Ju-52 should be flyable. This has a very important reason. Not just for the fact of having more planes available to the user.

2. The flight simulator should have the option to get off a plane (like a normal person) and walk / run to other aircraft available, stationed on the ground. This is the case of a damaged aircraft landed without possibility of reuse. With this option, the pilot can continue the mission. Then at the airport should be placed more planes available.

3. The flight simulator Prepar3D version 3, you have the option of walking / running and giving you more choices. No one has criticized the new option; on the contrary, it gives more options in game performance. If someone does not like this option, then, do not use it.

4. Returning to the theme of point 1, the Il-2 and Ju-52 aircraft they could carry as passengers for the other players (while in the air, enjoy the flight as passengers). The plane lands, the passengers get off, head for its warplanes and mission continues. My colleagues in the office dream of this option to be passengers while one of us is flying the plane (we are 10). Imagine the view from the windows. Maybe if in flight, the plane is damaged by the enemy, passengers (fighter pilots) could skydive, once they land, head towards the base (walking or...).

5. An important issue is the choice of refueling on land or aircraft carriers. Likewise, the reloading of ammunition plane or change the type of weapons such as bombs, torpedoes, rockets, etc. For this, the pilot should take the plane to an area intended for this and ask this service. You could get off the plane while you wait.

6. What about the option of driving a vehicle (like a Jeep) to get from one point to another? Also able to handle artillery?

I know many people disagree with what I have shown here. But if this flight simulator focuses only on having more flyable aircraft and nothing else, users begin to lose interest in the game. Maybe this is not my case, because I love this flight simulator.

Thank you very much

Li-2 will be flyable. But I hope Ju-52 never will be! Its not important at all. Because we dont have any proper mid-war german bomber! Or other far more important planes are missing: flyable Tu-2, Helldiver, Ki-44, Spitfire XIV just to name a few... There arent too much people working on this sim anymore, and in my opinion, making a flyable Ju-52 instead of the planes above, would be just a waste of time and effort.

Ju52 is really interesting plane ... and for counterbalance to Li2 it would be really nice to have it ...

also in SCW it was used like a bomber plane ...

I disagree.
The sim currently has plenty of fighter, ground-attack and bomber aircraft. Sure it is missing some but we can work with what we have.
What the sim is missing is the flyable reconnaissance and transport aircraft. These also played a vital roll. And while perhaps less exciting would still be fun to fly.
Any news on the 4.13 bug fixes?

Because the Ju-52 was just a boring cargo aircraft that never saw action over Denmark, Norway, the Hague, Eban Emeal, Crete, Cap Bon, Stalingrad, or Berlin.

I'd love to see all these planes in the game, too, but beggars can't be choosers. Any new flyable planes, even "boring" transport aircraft, are welcome.

All has been said.
The problem is that we need a bigger daidalos dev team.

For the Ju-52, you really have two options:

1, fly without enemies, just for "fun". However, this kind of flight belongs to MS Flight sim, not to IL-2

2, fly with enemies around, and pray not to be shot down. (= being a sitting duck) Its not fun at all.

This is why it would be a waste of time and effort, both are very limited now. It should be spent on planes that are sorely missing, like the Helldiver.

Under HSFX mods, Transporters are flyable and used in SEOW online campaigns to run supplies to airfields and combat areas.

Flying these missions with a few squad mates is a lot of fun and tests your nerve navigation skills and team work ability.

The same can be said for recon missions in Fw189's

Necessary for stock game probably not but very welcome,
as a modded addon for online campaigns, certainly.

Not everything it s shoot kill and destroy. If you take an online game as a shooter, of course could be boring fly a transport or a recce. But, if you take it as a role playing game, the online interaction it s not only shoot, kill and destroy. In mature MORPG, like wwiiol, or coops online wars in Il.2 as Condor war, ADW, SEOW; transport, recon, rescue, has/had a very important role. And, lot of people enjoy these roles.

yep ... i really love that transport/support missions on ADW .... just fly little above grass and try to identify where are you and where that Field to which you must deliver ammo or fuel or repair kits)...
