QUESTION: Patch 4.10 state

[Fall_Pink?]

FC,

Just curious, but what's the "big" problem? Is it a real show stopper?

Could you perhaps say something already of improved AI and some other features that have not yet been added to the list of features? I'm especially interested to learn how the new AI planes will cope with the G-limits and new visibility model. Besides, there's an interesting "no overheat AI mod" that could/should be added perhaps

Rgs,
SZ/FP

I'd wager a bet that MDS causes problems, as seen on some online servers.
Like shadow planes, bomb timer set to zero even if set correctly and other minor, but annoying, stuff.

Robtek,

I hope it's MDS related, 'cause the other stuff (Lutz also works on this, see e.g. http://hist-simu.2jg51.org/hs/phpBB2...er=asc&start=0) looks to be a real, frightning challenge and absolute coders' nightmare to me

I'm personally very interested to see how TD/DT have added these features to 4.10 since I play offline for most of the time.

Rgs,
SZ/FP

List of features is "locked" and we are doing mostly non-glamorous things like writing translations of all new text added to the game, finalizing new QMB missions and doing minor corrections in 3d models and textures.

Good news. Thanks for all your hard work.

If do you want we can hire professional translators for you.

I expect 4.10 as a final kick in MODS servers. MODs servers each one with is own interpretation of reality. Axis firepower in one of them is a mess, now we have to turn and burn spitfires cause or B&Z tactcis was nullified by porked lluftaffe weapons. While this .50 are kicking ass! However i continue playing cause if i not play there i ll not play in any other full real server.

Mods sucks. TD, please, i beg of you, release it. Please, please, please...

I don't think you can force people to play the version of the game you like, let people choose for themselves. If i don't like mod servers i simply don't fly on mod servers, but i don't try to stop them from existing

Why on Earth would you think that? Unless 4.10 comes out with something that renders the mods unusable why would you think that folks who have gotten used to them would stop using them? Some of the things I like in the mods have nothing at all to do with FMs or DMs or aircraft.. like being able to set my own defaults.. and remove the frame from my map.. stuff like that.. but some of these guys who think they have been getting the shaft and feel that one mod pack or another has corrected that... They will continue using mods.. the only thing that will stop that is if there is something in 4.10 that either encapsulates some of the features of some mods or renders a means of flying mod free... Otherwise there will be a 4.10 XYZQ mod pack out within the first week.. by two at the most of it's release.

In case you didn't know, IL-2 has been very much community driven since Forgotten Battles, For example Gladiator and Tempest external and cockpit models are completely done by the community members. Many other planes too.

So if something is done according to the standards (poly limits, texture limits, etc.) then of course it's accepted.

Like FC said, one of the things that we are currently doing is localization. This is quite huge work since there are so many things to be translated. Caspar had quite a shock when he realized how much he needs to translate to German. And this didn't even include the readme.

We could use external help for the readme translation. Specially for the technical stuff like RDF.

Spanish is my mother tongue and I grew up in germany (So my german is very good too) if I can lend some aid just ask.
