4.12 development update discussion and feedback

[Mysticpuma]

Hi TD.

It's great to have constant feedback from the IL2 team, it always makes a great impression.

Can I ask, in another thread there was talk that the p-47 cockpit and armament were going to be improved (make it actually look like a P-47 interior), however I cannot find any posts to back this up from TD.

Can I ask, even if it is not pencilled in for 4.12, is this something that is being considered?

Always pleased to see and hear news of the original (while CloD gets 'fixed')

Cheers, MP

Maybe that 190 pilot in the video was just mashing the control panel in panic looking for the ctrl-e or disconnect buttons, and hit the gear button instead?

Lots of emotion over a small technical detail.

Somone must have done more than bend the truth. I don't have the Airpower magazine article here (it's at work), but it does a fair bit of supposed "quoting" from Carr. If all you say is true, and Carr was (is) still living, he must have been one pi**ed off veteran.

Two sides to the story but the convincing money seems to be on the version that has the Fw190 taken from a captured airfield as a souvenir.

Here is an REAL STORY about TRUE stealing of enemy Не-111Н-22 by soviet prisoner Michail Devyayaev and his comrades in 8.02.1945.

Devayataev was a fighter pilot, he was shot down on his P-39 in June 1944.
He and 10 more prisoners hijacked a new He-111H-22 from Usedom airfield.
Before this Devjataev studied He-111 cockpit with crashed spare parts and watched for pre-flight actions of german pilots. Also group was preparing rather long time. In 8.02.1945 ten half-dead prisoners killed one prison guard and captured "Heinkel", board number 13013.
Not everythig went smoоthly (for example, long time they tried to take off with no success, rudders were too tight for weakened
prisoners, Devyataev didn't know where was trimmer levers - and so on), but finally they did it!
Their He-111 made belly landing at Woldenberg (now Dobiegniew) on soviet territory. By the way, Davyataev's He-111 flew with released landing gear.


6 of 10 were sent on front and were killed in action.
Michail Devyataev became Hero of Soviet Union (decorated with Golden Star) in 1957 and died in 2002

Devyataev could not operate at a normal work.
On the personal file was stamped unreliable element because he was in captivity.
Retirement, he received the minimum and no extra charge for participation in the war.
Realy sad story, but in Soviet Union we have many same story...

At least news are much more frequent than some payed simulator development teams. Even if it's bad news.

Thx a lot Caspar for the status update.
