Super fast loading,no worries about strange 'problems',and just nice to remember just how good il2 is,after all these years!
To then find out that 409 is going to be released,with added content,made my day.
I wonder if more people will just go back to the 'official' version!

I do that all the time.. but I have to say.... I like the 6DoF mod.. and the skinmod.. They both ad to the immersion a great deal for me. Along with the minimap & radiator mod.. (the one that turns them bi directional instead of unidirectional..)

This is a very good deal.

More free stuff, and the best part is all the "jabber" about the final release of 4.09 will be over.

The ONLY mod I would miss is 6 DOF.
Looking at the 110 radar vid though,that sure looks like 6 DOF is involved.

Dual throttle support BLISS

Yes it does...

The GUI changes, from what I can see, are entirely about support for multiple joystick profiles (and to be able to select them from the Arming screen).

Isn't this awesome?

The 6DoF mod.. at least the one I use.. while it does a great deal for immersion.. offers a very limited advantage in combat at best.. Especially on servers where there are no icons at all. It certainly wont improve the skills of a crappy pilot.. and bear in mind that seeing the bandit is half the battle..... if you cannot fly or are a lousy shot... seeing the bandit is meaningless. The "gaps" in the frame are small.. even the big ones.. very small.. and if someone were foolish enough to try to take advantage of them in a fight.. they'd probably wind up getting shot down anyway. The 6Dof mod is a great addition to the immersion of this sim. Like it or not... Being able to peep a little more over your wing or your cockpit spar on the tarmac is a great addition to the sim.. and to NOT implement this into an official patch would IMO be a mistake. You don't need to have full 6DoF.. but in most planes there is enough room for some degree of 6DoF.

+1 Bear, I could not agree more. 6DOF in IL-2 as currently implemented is far from perfect, we all know about the glitches. But to say that these very slight gaps in models confer a signifigant combat advantage is ludicrous, they most certainly do not. I too would like it to be implemented in future.

RCAF_FB_Orville · #10 08-09-2009, 11:03 AM

That said, there are views with 6DOF which are possible (checking six then "leaning" out to the side for example) which are completely unrealistic and would be impossible in many of the cramped cockpits. I think you know what I mean. I'd like to see this be eliminated if it were at all possible in the interests of realism. I'm not sure if it would be possible to do this however. All in all, despite the faults I think it is a good thing.....Certainly adds to immersion looking under cockpit bars etc, particularly up close with an enemy.
