Daidalos Team's Room -QUESTIONS AND REQUESTS ONLY on IL2 Authorized Addons

FC99,

"There will be some huge changes in AI, I have personal interest in that so I'll try to set new standards for AI in WII simulations. Lot depend on PC performance though, it's easy to improve AI but it's even easier to bring PC to its knees with complex AI.

I'll check AI landing routines, they should abort landing and fight in most cases IMO but sometimes they should try to land even when enemy is close.Lot of planes were shot down in WWII during landing so we must leave that as possibility in game too."

Huge changes and new standards? Could you elaborate a tiny bit on that?

I can think of a lot of things but have no idea if then can be made at all when the whole thing keeps on running on a single core. I mean, a lot can be improved w.r.t. things like 'to know when and how to engage or disengage', Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats, Situation Awareness/Assessment and Prioritization, Training level and Proficiency, Moral, RL tactics and so on, but that would truly mean a huge undertaking. It would however change the game radically (running at 1 fps)

Regards,
Mark

Approach patterns - the large semi-circle for landings not sensible or realistic.

Flying around in approach pattern circles , especially when the enemy is so close to the airbase, i.e., Henderson field,Guadalcanal. would not have been too dangerous. Straight in and straight out approaches was the only way to avoid small arms fire.

Consistent circular fixed patterns also overlap when several airbases are in close proximity.

Straight in and straight out with holding patterns further away from the airbases would make more sense.

slightly unconventional, but how about kills on multiplayer servers according to markings? i'm sick of seeing spities with german crosses...

It would make more sense for server to be able to restrict markings available on each side, then no one can make a mistake if they switch sides or come from another server where they were playing on the other side.

Even for clarity on the same side, no reason for there to be German markings for a Zero, if the server chooses

PS. It will take surely less than "Two Weeks".

Yes but not with the promised plane set ...

not a really hot update therefore ....

What hapened and plans changed?

We were suposed to be stuned with a great surprize of a magnificent (while burning )
4 engine bomber plus the Radar thingy ...

quite disaponting actually.

[csThor]

Neither a 4-engined bomber nor anything regarding radar or triggers were promised for 4.09. All of that (apart from the 4-engined bomber, where did that come from?) was clearly marked as WIP and stuff for the time after 4.09. It would be a nice thing if people started reading what is being posted and stopped reading just what they want to read.

This.

There is always some dolt with a JG in his tag that refuses to use the Hinomaru when flying Japanese. I even know one who tried on one of my infrequent servers to wear crosses on a Mustang when he flew Allied because it was his "squad" markings. He got the boot.

Hello again,

is it possible to add "auto save option" for last sortie? It woukd be great for someone who wants to save his flights always.

Thanks...

The player can move the dividers themselves, but it isn't saved, the next time you start the game they are back to rubbish spacings. If the user selected spacings could be saved that would be fine, if it could be fixed without the user needing to do anything that would also be fine. I am using a 1600x1200 display, I have done for many years, my old CRT was that good, this issue is an old irritation. It is not important of course, it's just a niggling imperfection.

I don't think we will change that, too much work for something that is minor issue IMO.

You want option that will automatically save Track of your last sortie? If that is so we might do something about it if we will have time.

Tried to make it, it works will be in for 5.0 or 5.1.

Interesting idea, as we will add some new buttons anyway we could make dedicated camera view button too.

e.g., suppress in some way their snipper accuracy (as seen in the B25 or B17), ability to fire accurately through clouds/fog and/or under high G forces.

There will be changes in AI gunners shooting ability. TBH when you examine their behavior more thoroughly they are not exactly a snipers. IMO problem is that they don't hit you when they should and hit you when they shouldn't.

Hiding in clouds will be possible, shooting ability at night will be reduced , high G is already a factor in gunners shooting accuracy but that have to be reworked.

They will be easier to kill so that will reduce their effectiveness too.
