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

[Kwiatek]

P-11 was corrected by one talented modders - he made new hit boxes ( which in default version were very poor) also he made some visual corrections. Planes also got new FM which from begging was very bad. Accelaration in take off in stock version was really absurd. P-11 which was adapted in RL for very short take off at grass AF ( 100m take off distance) in game need all 1 km runway to take off. Also these plane could dive with near 700 km/h - stock have engine overrevive at 450 km/h - which is way to slow.
The reason is just wrong moddeling for fix prop in stock game. It is totaly wrong. Stock fixed prop have too bad acceleration for planes and also overrevive too fast in dive for all planes. Example if you put such prop to Spitfire MK1 early which IRL could reach maximum level speed 560 km/h and far more in dive - in IL2 with such prop plane cant even reach its top speed not mention of dive.

But some good people make it in right way.

I wonder if DT Team couldn't use these great work with P-11C and aslo new Rumunian version P-11F in offical patch?

We are not going to use any 3rd party FM right out of the box. If there are problems with some planes we are open to discussion and if request is accompanied with reliable RL data than there is no reason why not to correct most glaring mistakes.

Changes in 3d model must pass quality check and if things are done correctly they can be accepted. Keep in mind that at least 90% of modded 3d models are not good for some reasons. Models have to be done properly in 3ds max format, various hacks are not acceptable.

All content have to be intellectual property of model maker or he has to have permission form original maker to use his stuff. No stolen textures and models from other sims.

BTW prepare everything you have about Spit MkV, they are first in line for rework, I'll start the thread at UBI later today.

Ad to Spit MKV

I will send you all most important what i have.

Ad to P-11
As i know changes was made in Gmax ( i mean new hitbox etc) - so it it would be a problem to implement them into game?

Ad to P-11 FM - we have P-11 manual with all data and performacne. Also we have idea how to fix these stock fixed prop issue if DT is interested in ?

[MOH_Hirth]

Sugest a REVISION on FM and GUNS (shells velocity), hope you can check that too.

[SG2_Wasy]

Possible make more parameters for external view?
It very important thing for DF servers. Because then this view enabled you my find enemy aircraft by view on enemy. It's gives many problems for bombers and surprise attacks.
How about add more view configuration in game parameter like:

- view on all
- view only on allied planes
- view only on self

May be simple add this option in game and server conf.ini

It will be add for DF servers with externals view more deep gameplay.

P.S. Sry my bad english.

And it would be nice have implement for Wide Screen View 16:10 support.

It have to be change some things and also little more FOV from 90 till 100.

Actually it is possible but only by some mods. It would be nice to have it in stock version without any mods.

Hello Team Daidalos!

I would like to make some requests for your next update.

Please make smokes visible at greater distances.
The smoke from crashed aircraft is only visible from about two kilometers, other smokes from about 3,5 km. It would be great if those values could be set to something more realistic, like 25km.

Please increase the quality of the smoke and please try to decrease the workload on the computer, so the game will stop stuttering on older PCs when there are more than 10 smoke sources. I mean the ground dust from planes that are taking off, too.

Please increase the quality of the shadows of the older planes, like the Yak series and the BF109 series.


Please think about my requests and have a happy developing,

[BFs]Sonko from www.battle-fields.com

I suppose he have it in 3ds format if it is done in Gmax, he can send it to daidalos.team@gmail.com for evaluation. I tried P11 in game and it has worst DM of all planes I know, if done properly this one have good chances for inclusion.

We know about problems with fixed pitch propellers. I was not working on it so I can't tell you what is done.

Possible, maybe not for 4.10 but almost certain for 4.11

It's impossible to do all you want That would require some serious magic, improved quality and decreased workload don't go hand in hand. Honestly, this is an old game, going deep into game engine is not really worth it. We are not focused that much on graphics enhancements, SOW is around the corner and ,IMO, only thing that can make Il2 interesting in future is hardcore FM.

Good news, thanks.

S!

Even IL-2 is not getting any graphical enhancements, would it be possible to at least take a look so newer graphics cards would be better supported? It is quite harsh to blame ATI for bad drivers if ATi is not talked with. It is a 2-way road of communication. Both ATI and nVidia have very powerfull cards these days so maybe a small check IF something could be done? IL-2 is maybe not graphically eye candy these days, but does it's job admirably still.

About new features. Seems some nice items are coming in, like revised FM's etc. How about DM of bombs? Now, for example, a 500kg bomb landing within 5m of a tank merely makes a nice explosion effect and the tank..well..merrily drives on. It would trip it over and/or incapacitate, even kill the crew. Just an example.

Keep up the good work..
