LOL. 109 pilots in WW2 did use "elevator trim" to help with turning. And there wasn't any delay between the movement of the trim wheel and the horizontal stabilizer in real 109s. ;)

Speaking of which: some years ago, when we were making those add-ons for IL-2 with Ilya, one guy from Poland was threatening 1C with a lawsuit, demanding royalties... Because on one plane from the add-on we had a camouflage pattern, which, apparently was also published in his book. This wasn't some unique paint job, just a standard camo scheme, used on this plane, which was also published in a number of other books and in original government-issued painting instructions for the aircraft type.

Obviously, he had no legal basis under such claim and he was politely asked to f off. But hey, who needs all that crap? So, unless DT would have a permission from every and all authors of a content, this content will not be included.

I don't know about the technical questions pertaining to this issue so I can't say whether that's even possible or not. My reply was to the repeating question why DT won't include "existing soundpacks".

You clearly have not been playing this game long, or flown a real aircraft (Even in a Cessna you wind on trim to keep a turn level).

There were literally dozens of threads and hundreds if not thousands of posts about the issue back in the early days. It would be stupid to restart the whole ridiculous thing over again now.

Here are the basic facts ...



BEFORE TRIM DELAY WAS INTRODUCED
- tapping the keyboard was reasonable realistic it took a few seconds to get full trim
- trim on a slider was definitely unrealistic as you could instantly go from full up trim to full down trim (whereas in a real aircraft, even with powered trim it takes several seconds to change), furthermore many people claimed in the IL2 flight model full elevator PLUS full trim incorrectly had MORE effect than full elevator alone. If that was true it was clearly wrong.
- players with trim on a slider had a big advantage over players using the keyboard

AFTER TRIM DELAY WAS INTRODUCED
- adjusting trim by tapping the keyboard is now extremely hard as the program stores up "excess taps" and plays them back after a delay. The change was really bad for people without a HOTAS
- the trim delay fixed the online cheating problem and trim on a slider now works reasonably historically. You move the slider and the trim moves about the rate it does with a real trim wheel or electric trim



Two sorts of people where annoyed at the change:
1. online points whores who had been using instant trim change to get an unfair advantage over people with no HOTAS
2. people wanting to do fine trim adjustments (for example offline players doing formation flying) with just the keyboard

Everyone else was happy as the only other alternative seemed to be to remove the capability to put trim on a slider at all.

The whole farce was teh result of a few people exploiting a flaw in the FM, the fact that sliders could change trim instantly.

I'm curious how come you could overlook the time Russian and USAF pilots spent in moving so many levers in the cockpit during combat while overemphasize the advantage of mapping elevator trims onto a rotary axis. It is also not realistic to map all those lever controls onto HOTAS switches and/or axes.

And please bear in mind that flight sim is not supposed to be played on keyboards. Because no WW2 pilots used keyboards to fly a plane. :-P

The whole point of the "sound engine" is to keep the online experience cheat free, there was an early re-write of the sound engine to stop online sound hacking.
Personally the sound engines fine for me.

I have no gripes with the stock sounds, the mod sounds are repetitive in the cockpit, the flyby's the best part of it but unless your movie making what's the point ?

Most want the modded sounds because they are using cheap onboard sound chipsets, and want the lazy way out (let someone else fix it) rather than make an upgrade.

A sound plugin might be an idea that the user decides what sounds to use offline, but online I would rather the games sound engine handle things,
at least the movie makers get the best of both worlds from a stock install.

You should have mentioned that.

trim.exe :rolleyes:


I know of only one pilot who used flaps(not even trim). He got killed in Africa.

PITA.

Here is one more:

Transferring your loadout / squadron / fuel / fuse etc settings to other players on the server for a joint strike with your friends who wish to have the same loadout as you.

I've got a cheap sound card and speakers, and it's not the sound quality that bothers me, it's the fact that so many sounds in the game are wrong.

I know what a 0.50 BMG or a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine should sound like. Having poor imitations for those sounds, which sound like a manual typewriter or a lawnmower, grates on me. Even with crap sound equipment I can tell the difference. If I had a $10,000 octupel, immersive, surround-sound, high-fidelity sound system the size of a closet, it would just make it worse.

But, it's dead issue because TD doesn't want it done. I disagree, but I respect their decision. I'll just use the good sounds for when I fly the modded version.
