Default Important bug!!!

I hate to put the ALL CAPS RED thing in here, but I feel this is important.

If you clear the ALTSYMBOL character using the game interface (simply delete it), it will crash the game if the currently selected user (pilot) is selected in the all.ini file.

Using the INTERFACE, I cleared the symbol to be null (I don't like it, and figured deleting it would work).

THIS WILL CRASH THE GAME (IT WON'T START). The following is a completely legit icons file generated by the game by simply pressing "DELETE" to clear the symbol.

Code:
mp_dotrange FRIENDLY   DOT 25.000002 COLOR 1.6500001 RANGE 0.05 TYPE 1.6500001 ID 0.010000001 NAME 0.020000001 ALTICON 0.1 ALTSYMBOL  ALTCOLOR 0
mp_dotrange FOE  DOT 25.000002 COLOR 1.6500001 RANGE 0.05 TYPE 1.6500001 ID 0.010000001 NAME 0.020000001 ALTICON 20.0 ALTSYMBOL  ALTCOLOR 0

Ok, kids.

John hosts a mission. He is flying with Jill.
JOHN IS HOSTING THE MISSION.
John is the pilot. Jill is the bombardier.

The mission seems to go just fine.
Jill can open the bombay doors. Jill can release the bombs with automatic bombing OR the typical bomb release key on her joystick.

John hosts a mission. He is flying with Jill
JOHN IS HOSTING THE MISSION.
Jill is the pilot. John is the bombardier.

John can't open the bay doors. Well, maybe, but the ONLY MESSAGE HE GETS IS BOMBAY DOORS ARE OPEN (they don't actually open on the plane model, so he has no idea).

John can't release the bombs with the normal joystick key from 4.12.2

Hey, TD... No idea who you guys get to test this with... but... I just did 3 hours of testing and it doesn't work.
  1. I host and am the pilot. My friend is the Bombardier. Works half-way okay
  2. I host and buddy is pilot and I am the Bombardier. Doesn't work.

You guys really need to figure out the different ways to fly this game. But to think that this works in even the most mundane ways we'd attempt to fly it... and when it doesnt' work???? C'mon.

Yep ... with Coop mode still got a huge problem ... that feature have tested many testers ... and came to the same conclusion - it doesn't work like we want ...
couple month ago when we compile new version of build we was near to cut away whole coop from 4.13 because of that ... but part of our testers ask us to keep it... plus some of us want that feature and we have hope that it can be fixed ...

btw ... i think notice about issue with Coop need post in first post ...

The situation you described is working here:

Can someone else confirm this? There is a possibility of software regressions since we cannot test every single feature after every single change.

So how many of you guys installed the patch over your HSFX game folder?

As far as the bombing thing I have no problems operating the bombardier position as long as another guys is in the same plane with me and one of us is the pilot or if alone I join in the pilot seat first then switch over to bombardier. Have done multiple runs with another individual with both of us swapping out positions and had no problems with either one dropping bombs.
Only problems I have had is when I am in the plane by myself and I join in the bomber seat and not pilot seat.

Also while flying co-ops the bombardier cant select load out for the aircraft. So you might want to make sure your pilot brings along bombs. You cant drop bombs if you don't bring any. And when you end a mission and load another one you have to go back to settings and re check realistic bombing setting. It does not stay on between missions.

On a side note. Some of us (me) enjoy flying without that annoying hud log popping up and giving you percentages a messages and stuff. Instead we (me) prefer to use the instruments inside the cockpit. So I turn the HUD messages off. But I cant find temperature requirements for the new planes. Does anyone know what they are? Or where I can find them? I don't want to overheat my engines.

Bug reported to stop the user editing the interface manually and deleting the Alt-symbol icon completely causing game crashing.

Thanks for the find Tolwyn

In a PDF file called Temp_Guide 4.111.
It should be amongst the files in the Program files/ Ubisoft / Il2 Sturmovik 1946

I have encountered no problems yet with the B24D
I have made several bombing runs on an offline multiplay.

All my aircraft appear,No missing positions in the Ju88 or odd underwing appearances.( several versions ago the JU88 was remapped ).
My version is running fine so far.
Installed over unmodded 4.122.
