4.13 development update discussion and feedback

[Monguse]

Firestorm,


The US bombardier stuff you saw like the Norden and Intervalometer came the B24D parts and yes, the B24D is in our build however we need to add and tweak a few things here and there.

Stay tuned for more updates.

Fascinating and technically challenging to implement no doubt!!

question 1, how does this effect x-4 and hs/fritz x type misisle/bombs, still steer them by adjust distance and side slip?

question 2, video showed 180 mph IAS in b-25, bombardier had a guage showing 240 TAS which they then inputted, will there be a table or guage change for Axis planes as well, and for Russians too? cant wait for the new stabilizer though, thats the sweet spot as you lock into your bomb run on line with a real pilot... wow great stuff TD.

Outstanding!! It is a logical progression of this sim considering where it is in it's lifespan.. after adding aircraft and maps.. this is the next logical step ... adding more precision and more immersion.

Bombsight updates look great. What are the three little lights in the Soviet bombers at the end of the video?

[Sita]

Navigator looking at bombsight and get correcting direction of flight by pushing buttons and lit that three lamps ... and pilot flight right or left o directly ahead) ... nothing more))) in our planes all was simple)

Fully workable Norden bomb sight! WooT!

For planes that don't have the Norden or its equivalent, will there be a method for the bombardier to communicate with the pilot?

Can you fly as a bomber pilot while an AI bombardier gives you commands? (e.g., "left, steady, up, right, steady, bombs gone")

Guys, did you actually watch the video to the end?

No. Or not yet, at least.

I saw videos.
Excellent.
"The bomber festival" will in coming. I polish my foot pedal and wait for the v4.13.

Yes. I just wasn't sure if the displayed messages represented confirmation of changes to bomb sight settings or messages sent to the pilot.

I imagined that you clever TD guys would have thought of commands from bombardier to pilot.

I can understand the delay in setting up the pilot's ability to respond to voice commands from the bombardier, however. Not only do you have to record a new voice actor (bombardier) for each nationality, but you also have to link that new voice actors scripts into the program. Lots of work for a tiny bit of extra immersiveness.

Anyhow, 4.13 looks to be "the high altitude bomber update."
