4.13 development update discussion and feedback

[Tolwyn]

Can you please elaborate on the Co-pilot / Nosegunner / Bombadier relationship now?

1. In Coop mode, who can occupy which spots?
2. What are the restrictions?
3. Can pilot still switch to nosegunner and bomb and have copilot pilot aircraft?
4. Can copilot switch to nosegunner and bomb and have pilot pilot the aircraft?
5. If pilot moves to rear-gunner, can copilot move to pilot spot? Meaning, are they considered "hot seats" or...?

1. Im am pretty sure each is a different slot now. So on the planes which had all three positions then in coop you can have three different players in each position.

I would assume switching positions would be the same as it is now.

Of course I could be wrong here so please feel free to correct me if I am.

1. Pilot can occupy all free seats except co-pilot's seat. Everyone else can occupy all free seats except pilot's.
2. Normal restrictions like before. Also when gunner/bombardier is manned by one guy IRL, human player will occupy both seats at the same time.
3. Yes.
4. Yes.
5. No.

Exellent news, finally I could maybe make my german alternative history campaign with the he 177.
For the N1K1-Ja,it's a good idea but what about the "normal" waterbased
version?
Thanks for everything you have done for us.

I registered mainly to congratulate you on your excellent published work.

Also I admit I haven't been through all 25 pages of this thread, so I don't know if this has been mentioned, but I was really pleased to see in the Copilot preview video that the HUD was in Imperial units.

Does this mean it will be an easily selected option in 4.13?

Once again, many thanks for your excellent work, past, present & future.

Best regards,

Balla.

I'm not sure what you're referring to here. If you bind the "Toggle Speed Bar" key, you can toggle between Metric/Nautical/Imperial/Off settings for the speedbar.

IL2 should also remember which setting you used last. So if you have it set to imperial in one game, it should start out that way in the next.

Thanks for that info.

I had discovered that after my post.

The last Video is a forestep for trainer aircrafts!

Unfortunately, not for me.

Just found IRL:
When fuel dumps or fuel trains got hit, it would be great if we had some real real great firework like the Dakota train incident:
