4-12 wish list (Merged)

[pupo162]

wide screen!

thsi is the only pain in the arse this game still has.

look for SANS FOV changer for inspiration

English Channel areas are banned because of Cliffs of Dover.

I'd like to have even better AI, correct markings for USAAF fighters/bombers for ETO and PTO, swastikas on German planes (I know, but it's historical and there is no film, plane model/replica, or even sim without them), Do 17 (<3), changeable places of plane spawning on carriers, the same DM for static and ordinary planes and finally some better effects (It's 2012, not 2001 anymore!).
Pleeeeaaaase.

2. I have installer my game in C: in a created folder called Il2 1946.
3. I have OpenGL 2.1 and it suppose to work but I can't put perfect setting, the cloud have some line in them like paper cloud (It just do that when playing but not in the INTRO MOVIE and RECORDED MOVIE from DaidalosTeam.) and the ground just flash each pixel...

The only idea I ahve is to put DirectX perfect mod with the water I post. It's working for DirectX 9.0 too...
I think it can be easy to put smoke shadow in DirectX too.


-------------

Other idea,
- put 3rdeye smoke mod in another patch to have realistic smoke
- put Antialiasing option in the game
- Put new water texture from Carmaster (SAS forum) Water=4 with foam, etc.
- New torpedo trails from AllaircraftSimulation
- put new map like new desert online texture from ROKO, great britain (with campain), africa (with campain), tunisia from ROKO, etc.

PS: I can post the link if you want...


--------------
NEW IDEA FOR PERFECT SETTING (NEED HELP TOO):

1. When I installed Il2 1946 in Windows 7 64 bits, I jsut put all the file in a new folder and extract there. After, I copied Il2fb.exe in my new folder to launch the game. Each time I start the game, the Disc start to run, but I don't know if the only thing I can do to run the game is to install the game in another folder or playing by the disc, but it's impossible.
2. TeamDaidalos can test Intel HD grpahics to optimize the game for this graphic card. NO? It's easy no, just buy an Intel HD graphics or a laptop like me (Inspiron 15r N5010) and developp a little bit a version of the game on this card and after, jsut put the same patch for all (not 1 patch for Intel and 1 patch for other lol).

Dell Inspiron 15R-N5010
Ausstattung / Datenblatt
Dell Inspiron 15R-N5010Notebook: Dell Inspiron 15R-N5010 (Inspiron 15 Serie)
Prozessor: Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300

Bildschirm: 15.6 Zoll, 16:9, 1366x768 Pixel, spiegelnd: ja

no, your machine can not run perfect water. Try with Water=3 as a last shot. some people have gotten that to run on NEW ATI cards.
and not with the "newest" drivers. the "newest" drivers have caused trouble.

yours defnitely is not NEW, its a "light" version of a mid-range card thats about 2.5 years old.

Get a new Nvidia Card.
Or keep wishing for the next 5 years.
those are your choices, and those only.

You only get perfect in Open GL, don't know if that's been said. No perfect for DirectX.

Have you tried to enable Perfect water within the conf.ini file? If not, please search for the HardwareShaders=0 string under the [Render_OpenGL] section and put HardwareShaders=1. I do not remember if it works also for the DirectX.

Here are mine:

• all-in-one 4.12 patch for 4.07
• self shadowing (not necessary in cockpit)
• propwash
• stepdown for bombers when flying in formation

-Mega patch would be huge, I don't think we will make it.
-Not likely, this game is too old , it's better to improve it in other areas IMO.
-Not simple to make it realistic and easy on PC.
-Prepare the material with bombers formations and attack patterns. Ground attacking will get some attention in 4.12

That was a very long shot on my account. I just had to get it out.

-There are files overwritten with every patch right? And vast majority of people uses torrents nowadays. Even if you don't do it, M4T has one huge download, i.e. is doing the job for you IMHO.
-A huge chunk of is is already written down in my manual in the signature. What is missing are complex USAAF formations, from basic 12 ship combat boxes to simple 18/21 ship formations with out step downs (staggering inside elements) to Javelin Down and full 18 ship combat box formation, like this: VIDEO GALLERY / Historic Footage

Even if a map maker builds this kind of formation, there is no group cohesion or AI. In best scenario it will work until the formation reaches a turning point / waypoint. If TD would really like to pursue this matter, I am willing to help / share my materials.

Is there a way you could create a night fighter version of the Me-110G-4/R3 for us?
It would have the option of the "slanting music" of two 20mm MG FF cannon firing up at an angle from the fuselage aft of the cockpit... plus the Radar antennas would show too.
Then there's the need for the most deadly night fighter made in WW II... the He-219B-3
These two aircraft would complete the night fighter capability in IL2-1946... Thanks!
