What is the instrument above the wheel-brake lever and below the flap position indicator in this screenshot of the Pe-2 cockpit: http://www.mission4today.com/guides/.../Pe-2Front.jpg ?

If it's a dive-bombing calculator or sight, could we get it to work?

Thanks,

1. yak-9m with vk-105pf2 engine...

С октября 1944 г. по мере поступления на завод N153 двигателей ВК-105ПФ2 их стали устанавливать на Як-9М. До этого весь выпуск ВК-105ПФ2 направлялся для установки на Як-З.

...

Но в конце 1944 г. на самолет начали устанавливать более мощный и менее высотный мотор ВК-105ПФ-2, что дало некоторое увеличение скорости и улучшение скороподъемности на небольшой высоте. К сожалению, летные характеристики Як-9М с ВК-105ПФ-2 автору пока обнаружить не удалось. Возможно, самолет просто не проходил испытаний на определение летных данных.

2. more historically correct weapon for yak-9ut (now shfk-37 or something like this?), because -

При стрельбе Як-9УТ вел себя более устойчиво во всем диапазоне скоростей и при всех эволюциях, чем Як-9Т и Як-9К, за счет уменьшения силы отдачи пушки Н-37 по сравнению с НС-37, а также расширения диапазона скоростей. При длине очереди из Н-37 в 4-5 выстрелов прицеливание практически не сбивалось, что обеспечивало увеличение меткости огня.

3. and, maybe? prototype of not serial yak-9p, just need change UBS to Shvak...

Як-9П (пушечный) с двигателем М-105ПФ являлся модификацией серийного Як-9, на котором синхронный пулемет УБС с боезапасом 200 патронов был заменен на синхронную пушку ШВАК (СП-20) с боезапасом 175 снарядов.

This was corrected in a past patch thanks to some research by myself and several others.

Correct loadouts should be the NS-23 hub firing and two synchronized B-20S 20mm cannons in the upper decking. Alternatively the NS-37mm can be fitted along with the B-20S cannons. These changes were made thanks to Russian translated documents and a lot of digging.

Previously it was incorrect with an unused Sh37ki 37mm that was never fitted to the Yak-9UT (to my knowledge) and ShVAK 20mm in the decking. Also the flight model was altered slightly to reflect the pilots notes on the nose being noticeably heavier and slightly affecting handling. I still think it flies beautifully.

Not all that different from the Yak-9UT. Aside from being all metal if memory serves, the notes I have state that the initial armament was the same as the Yak-9U (2xUBS and 1xShVAK) and was later changed to 3xB-20 (B-20M in the hub, B-20S in the decking) post war. I believe the N-37 and N-45 were also fitted but I'm not sure.

Hi Team Daidalos,

yesterday I (author of YaDeLi - support for more than 4 usb game controllers in IL-2) received a request concerning support for the radiators. Thankfully you introduced axis control for radiators in 4.10. Unfortunately this is not accessible via DeviceLink, so I cannot make them acessible via YaDeLi.

Would you be so kind?

I don't remember if it's already been mentioned, but I'd like to suggest this:

• Ground and Sea AI able to do some kind of "dodging" when enemy air units are around (maybe not ground AAA units, and not necessarily intelligent evasive manouvers, but taking the same heading as a torpedo plane approaching or some kind of zigzag when a dive bomber approaches)
• Ships AI should identify other ships so they don't collide
• Ship groups, something like ground columns. Example: Small convoy, Medium Convoy, Large Convoy, Carrier Group, etc.

I know it's a hell of a modification to ask, but it would be awesome to have these modelled.

Currently ships have no AI at all. They simply follow mission builder given way points.

What you are asking would be a huge task, as all the different types of ships would require their own discreet AI. Not to mention the load it would place on CPUs.

I know, but maybe it can be scheduled to be analyzed for... v4.15?

A possible workaround to that could be to try to time a mission so that when the strike group arrives the AI ships will begin a zig zag course.. I have seen this in coops before..

of course, thx for ns-23...

but another load, it's was NOT ns-37, it's was n-37 - principal difference, and if DT really wants give to us prototype of yak-9ut with n-37 + 2 b-20, it's need to do correctly...

differences of cannons look here...

maybe, b-20m and n-45 can be as "what if" too...

Also the flight model was altered slightly to reflect the pilots notes on the nose being noticeably heavier and slightly affecting handling. I still think it flies beautifully.

good... did not know...

you not understood, i talk about yak-9 with VK-105PF... maybe it's my fault, sorry...

all principal changes for yak-9p with VK-105PF it's second shvak instead UBS...

if it's not hard, i think, DT can give this load for yak-9 1942 for us, or how another airplane... easy "what if"... i all time wanted try this, but NO any mods...

plus, of course, were many similar not serial yaks, but maybe this is too...

and how this plane can be use in game or online? in serious online (wars i mean) it's CAN be use, trust me ("front tests", prize etc)... like i-185 now...

Ah yes... NS-37 versus N-37. I'd have to look at my notes again to be absolutely sure. I think both versions of the cannon were fitted at one time or another. I think the NS-37 was fitted at one point during the prototype stages which is why it was included (and the game codes for that cannon already exist). Please double check but I don't think the N-37 was available until 1946?

N-45 was another optional armament addition but I also think that was post war as well. I'm not sure about that. The focus in my mind was definitely on aircraft and armament types that exists during the war and saw use.

As for the Yak-9P I was thinking about the all metal version that was the immediate successor and follow on to the Yak-9U. I didn't realize you were talking about the earlier Yak-9P. Is it based on the early Yak-9U prototype with VK-105PF? Didn't some of these early Yak-9U's make the front line? That may be the type that could be done rather than the P model? I understand the interest in the unique armament configuration. What visual external differences existed to fit the second ShVAK? Any pictures? I'm curious if nothing else.
