4.11 Development Update

[Stukadriver]

Very nice work. I am reluctant to ask, but..I have recently installed IL2 1946 and am wondering what would be the fastest way to upgrade the game to include all of your improvements. Does the most recent patch/upgrade include all past changes or is there a string of them that have to be downloaded?
Thanks.

If you have installed Il2 1946 you will have V4.07m. You need to download and install V4.08m, V4.09m, V4.10m and V4.10.1m. You need to install them on top of each-other in numerical order. The Mission4Today site has them all. Get them, install them and enjoy!
I almost forgot that there is also an optional skin pack for 4.09m which adds more paint schemes for your 'planes.

Pretty much this.

In case you should have bought 1946 on Steam, the game will already be upgraded to V4.09m, including the skin pack (it's not optional on Steam, but installed automatically). So if you run this game through Steam, you only have to download V4.10m and V4.101m and install them manually.

It would be nice to add the P-26 peashooter with out mods and I would also like the P-60 to be in the game. Also There is a CAC boomerang airplane (its austrailian airplane). Why is these planes not in, it would be a good time to put these planes in the game.

Not saying that this is the case for any of these aircraft but some MOD aircraft are not built to specifications. Some are missing some or all levels of detail (LODs), have too many polys, or other problems that cause problems. It's fine for a MOD... MODs are a great way to experiment and put content in without worrying too much about finishing things off until ready. But to go in a official patch... the details need to be finished too.

There's a lot of behind the scenes effort that goes into making these things. Huge respect for everyone involved in making a cockpit or a external mesh or laying out the skin.

Because, you didn't build cockpits for it yet.

Good response.

Admittedly, I have not seen all of the screenshots, but a common error was made on the TBD Devastator: The interior is in chromate green.

The Devastator, like the Vindicator, were all built and delivered during the pre-war 'yellow wing' period. The interiors during that time were aluminium in color. When the medium blue was applied, the surfaces that can be seen from above had a coat of blue applied. Below these surfaces, they remained aluminum.

Here is a link to the sole surviving Vindicator.

Video has old skin. No green on the new skins.
