4.11 General debugging

Moved them further apart and they seem to be fine now... minimum radius? Oddly in the FMB they disappear on re-loading a map with them on it until you move the icon. Then they re-appear.

Some V1 sites were very well camouflaged.

One small thing. Strange thing is the fact that during a multiplayer session we can choose every plane (flyable + AI). If so, there should be on each plane's name information wheter it is AI or not. And there is a bug where if you choose the AI plane to fly as your first choice - the plane is without possibility to steer, control (firstly you have to choose a flyable one and then AI to make it steerable). Greetings

If you are talking about a Dogfight server, the host will choose which planes are 'flyable'. Not every server has all planes as flyable. In fact, most have a limited flyable planeset.

Also, there is no real 'bug' here. The only reason you can 'fly' particular (no cockpit) AI planes online is because the IL-2 exe has been hacked and modded. This 'feature' is actually an unauthorized 'mod' and to say that there is a 'bug' involved because the 'feature' does not perform up to your standards is stretching the issue quite a bit.

I suspect you are new to IL-2. I suggest a little more patience and investigation before posting 'bug' reports. This game has been around for over 10 years and the community is well aware of most of the serious issues.

Welcome to IL-2.

I respectfully disagree with your characterization of this "feature". UberDemon released his IL2loader utility for the original IL2. It allowed external control of AI planes, if the server allowed. It did not require an exe hack, but was an "exploit" of an existing possibility within the game. I believe that UberDemon got Oleg's OK before he released it. Please correct me if I am mistaken or my memory faulty.

Actually, even before modding, you could put the internal code name for an aircraft in the Homebase section of a .mis file and be able to select that aircraft and fly it. We use that feature on UK-Dedicated on some scenarios to fly heavy bombers (B-17s for example) and have done so for many many years.

It's a bug but its a beneficial one in the right circumstances. This one has proved useful and I'm pretty glad it exists. We try and put instructions on the briefing of any scenario that uses that so that players are aware (if they RTFM).

Thank you for the explanation. It is nice that we can fly both flyable and AI planes. The only disturbing thing is that if I chose AI as a first plane during the multi session, I can't steer it. To steer it I have to chose the flyable one firstly. And at the beginning the camera is disturbed as AI planes haven't got cockpits. Greetings!

EDIT: I have just noticed that in BI-6 plane the wing engines are still working even without fuel.

That's a long known bug that was universally accepted by players as a feature and it remained in game on players request therefore we don't have plans to change this.
