4.11 General debugging

[JtD]

Real life ammo count is exactly the effect of that difficulty switch. Maybe you're lucky to be in aircraft that carry large amounts of ammo, or you're just an incredibly good shot so that you simply don't need a lot of ammo.

Planes that are fairly short on ammo are the Yak's, if you want to try them.

In IL2 1946 4.11m version.
Some static objects like AAA guns or cannons respawn after being destroyed.
It happend that I destroy some static objects.
I shoot them.
They burn. Server display Ennemy AAA destroyed.
After some time they respawn and open fire again...
Is it a bug.
If yes is it fixed in 4.11.1m ?

Thx all for your great job.

I assume you're playing online.

The host can implement an AI respawn time into the mission. There is no bug.

Thanks Luno13.
I found the parameters in the [RespawnTime] section.

there always a big squa sign on the left side of plane under canopy. I have never seen so big sign in a historcal photograph before.

4.11.1 AI / Jet bug:

Jets like He162 and Me262 can't take off anymore. They overheat when they're half way the runway and have diffculties gaining altitude. They fail to climb and/or their engines catch fire. Tested with he162 and single mission 'rapid strike mission'. With the rapid strike mission, the first he162 cannot gain sufficient alititude and crashes into the woods at the end of the runway.

edit: small correction. Bug is also present in 4.11 + hotfix. Base closure with YP80 catches fire when taking off and 'rapid strike' mission produces the same result. I.e. he162 is unabnle to take off and it's engine starts to burn.

I just made tests and I have no issues with the jets. Make sure to increase power slowly. Too fast and the engine will catch fire.

Also, I tend not to add more than 80% power, to avoid overheating.

Acceleration is slow, and jerking the plane off the runway won't help. I pull back on the stick just enough to raise the nose. The plane will roll on the main wheels until it's "ready" to fly, and will lift off on its own at the right speed. Raise gear immediately, lower the nose to accelerate and raise flaps in increments.

Luno13,

Manually there will be no problem with any jet I guess and I think it's the auto pilot that messes it up some how.

I tested the he162 'rapid strike mission' with auto pilot enabled for take off. I checked a couple of times and nearly all of them crash into the hillside.

Please check if you get the same behavior with this mission.

Rgs,

The Heinkels indeed crash, but it already happened in 4.09. Do you know the last version it worked with? Overheat in 4.11 came too quick for some jets, but this was corrected in 4.11.1 and should no longer be an issue. I haven't seen one catching fire on take off, yet.

There is no bug here. The jet AI takes off perfectly fine in 4.11.1. Even the Player's plane (in offline missions) will take off correctly if the Autopilot is used. I'm not sure what your problem may be.

I tested the Rapid Strike mission and the jet AI all take off just fine. However, they do crash into the hill. This may be due to new FM's.

I tried a quick workaround and it worked. Just open the mission in the FMB and give all the 262 and 162 flights 65% fuel instead of 100%. This makes them lighter and they don't crash anymore.
