The only problem is that in some cases float planes and flying boats were prohibited from landing on the open ocean, either due to regulations or due to rough sea conditions which would make it dangerous to land and difficult or impossible to take off again.

If we were to have flyable float plane/flying boat in the game, water textures would need to be modified to simulate different sea states or the effects of near misses from bombs. Currently, regardless of wind speed or weather conditions, ocean waves remain constant with swells of just 1-2 feet, and explosions or airplane crashes don't produce waves.

So it will take lounger then 2 weeks then But until then Seas are calm and sailors don't leave there posts. Just curios Do you actually play IL 2? Or was there a reason for you to pick my post apart

No offense meant. I'd love to see a flyable PBY or Ar-196 and SAR missions myself.

My point is that you need more than just a flyable plane of the right sort to recreate challenging SAR missions like this:

Oh boy. I flew a quick mission at Smolensk, with two 109s to encounter three Hurricanes. There is some time before you meet the enemy, so I moved to the side of the setting sun, and when I spotted the Hurris against the clouds, I maneuvered to their rear without being seen. Started to close in, but they did spot me before it was too late.

I haven't been able to do this kind of stuff since the Flying Corps sim. Stalking FTW!

Flight simming is one of the only arenas in which stalking is OK!

Nice thread kittle Way over due
The work being done by Team Diablos seems to go UN-appreciated at times. I for one what eagerly for there next work. I have only one complaint that is off set by the many many positive improvements with each patch. It is hard to beleave that IL2 is over 11 years old and We have such a great Team creating improvements,for the IL2 community,to this old Sim. And all in 2 weeks Amazing

I for one am truly grateful for all the hard work and dedication

LOL, agreed!

That's the reason I created this thread. A lot of 'constructive criticism' gets thrown around after a patch is released with the bugs and what not. I felt those guys needed to see the good things we had to say about their work. What better place then here on their forum area to do so! I myself, I am happy with all of it. The F4U seems a little underpowered, but I am no FM expert and have never flown a real corsair (I have looked in the pit of one in real life though!) so my opinion is just that, an opinion. I will do what I can to find bugs and provide them what they need to eliminate them.

I don't know if anyone else noticed, but if you choose the British Corsair Mk.I and choose the USN, USMC, or USAAF as the country you get a very nice navy/marine corp skin to go along with it. A 'stock' bird cage USN corsair, I love it!!!

The new AI is kicking my but all over the place, and I am loving every second of it. Beware that Ki-45, she can maneuver for a heavy fighter.

There are quite a few positive things that I've noticed that are very subtle and very numerous besides whats in the readme.

Very nicely done TD!
