Any news or developments for the masses to consume?

Well,... I'm in my new place, It's nice, but I realized I now have a stack of fridges running up one wall, and a TV and computer above, below, and on three side of me, so I am having major grounding problems trying to record. We'll figure it out, uTube said to plug everything into the same jack to unify the ground, so we'll try that.
It's nice though, my own door, with a peep hole :c)
Oh and a lady upstairs who lives in a different gravity field than the rest of us, THUMP THUMP THUMP, "I only weight 110 lbs" she tells me. Have not seen her, she answered through the peep hole.

That's about it, oh how silly of me, I lost my mind there for a moment, how selfish of me to make it all about me, so, enough of me talking about me, maybe some one else wants to talk about me for a bit.....:cool:

From what I've read on the Vwings.net forum, Magot said that we'll soon be able to position AA guns on building roofs and concrete bunkers in the FMB.

yes, something like that

https://s8.hostingkartinok.com/uploa...cda319980a.jpg

looks interesting indeed,will be interesting to avoid a flak tower by going low and watching the roofs fly apart?

Beta read me?
 

there is something like a read me out on Vwings now, looks like a beta test maybe?

yeap

The North Pole?
 

Looks like a North Pole map is coming, expanded Murmansk and Moscow and Donbas with different seasons. Updated tb3 cockpit and bombsight changed to opb1 type. Ai pe2 type 244. Not really sure of what types of missions for the pole map, perhaps a exploration in MBR?
new ram selector, hope it's comparable with sas type mod act etc. looks like some new industrial objects as well. I'm eagerly waiting!

Potential change to He177 armaments?
 

If I understand this correctly the current He177 has fritz X and Hs293 missile/guided bombs as a load out option. If these are removed this will cause missions built with them to be unusable etc. There was comments on Vwings that they wont be there on 414 because they are part of He177A5, not A3?

i suppose you are right..

to have Hs293 and FrizX on Flyable He177 need seriously rework pit.. place in pit control devices for guided bomb ...

yes it's potentialy issue with mission ... but i dont see mission for He177 with loadouts which must be guided by live player ...

may be i wrong.

Correct me if I am wrong. But He-177A5 or any version of He177 is not in stock version of game, 4.12,4.13, etc., So there are no missions with the He-177. And as such if there are currently 0 missions, there is no issue

There is a He-177 in HSFX. Probably got a bunch of people made missions. But this update doesn't apply to or affect HSFX in anyway. SO HSFX will still only have the He-117A3. I am confused as to why you think this update, will affect your HSFX missions?

btw...

https://vk.com/club120670117 here some of our betatesters from time to time shows some screens ... not updates in usual meaning.... but may be you can find there something what you didn't see...

People have built there own missions since the AI He177. As AI it has the ability to launch fritz X and HS 293. I have built several myself. if you change the load out it will effect those as well as others that may have used what was already in FMB. I can only suggest you add to but do not take away from load outs fixes the problem before it starts.

Hello! first of all, thank you TD for your effort to make ever better patches in these years :-)
I read on vwings forum about new OPB-1 bombsight for TB-3: actually what bombsight is there? the new OPB-1 will be in all TB-3, or some will have the "old" bombsight?
Thank you and have a nice summer :-)
Francesco

All TB-3 will use the new OPB-1 sight.

I'm not concerned with He177 in hsfx missions, it has been available as ai since the 413 patch came out. In that and onward it has had fritz x and hs293 guided munitions. Since it is ai it is correct that there are no player flyable missions, but if anyone made missions and included it as ai for anti shipping purposes it will effect those missions. These missions will be on mission4today or if not shared in the builders system. My intent here is not to criticize or degrade the work of others at all, just a gentle reminder of potential impact on others. Many thanks to TD for the years of free fun you have provided!

oh, ok thank you baball
... but I like the "old" tb-3 bombsight :-D

what is the name of this bombsight?
thank you and bye

With all these fantastic updates coming with some new planes and maps it would be so great if we could get some of the Eastern Front DGen careers updated on an "official" level to use newer maps (kiev, kharkov, odessa, donbass) and newer planes (SSS, R5, I15 etc.).

After all, this is what brought many to the game and certainly why i still play it often. Keep up the great work!

I am just a beta tester for 4.14, but from what I have seen in the readme the previous bomb sight was just a fictional model even if the old Forgotten Battles manual tells that the OPB-1 was used on the TB-3.

For what i have seen it is the most beloved patch ever.

And a fun one to test too :lol:

Edit : this behavior is currently being worked on and won't be present in the final release.

Nothing serious ...
simple boring Longitudinal vertical spin ))

wow to see, must have incredible G tolerance, the engine didnt snap off.Those maps look awesome indeed.

I can't wait to play the missions you will create for these maps:)

Yes indeed, im already thinking about a mini series from the Donbass map, taking a right at Rostov and down into the Crimea etc.

He177 engine fires
 

Was just curious as to how the engine cooling and fires will work. Example the left set is on fire from over heating, do we shut down 1 and 2 or just 2 etc?

Lot of effort potentially going into 4.14. More than I anticipated.

Too bad that Pe-2 is AI only. Looks great. Would love to see an update for the PE-2 models we already have.

The maps look gorgeous. Looking forward to them, especially the Moscow map. I already use the mod Moscow map, but having an official version would be nice.

Whats your no patch posted today sound?
 

Whats your extreme frustration sound, when flying and hitting my opponent in a tracer hypnosis collision its mwahhjghhh. For a quick check and no patch its arghhajakamaka

More goodies on the link
 

https://vk.com/club120670117

look like aircraft blister hangers. interesting

yes it's for UK airfields

Yes, i was using the ipod to see them, didnt have translator tool. still for next maps etc they will be quite usefull. How is the beta testing going?

Multiple bomb bays doors opening when not needed?
 

Something that may need to be addressed is the actions of aircraft with multiple bomb bays. Example, the Pe-2 has fuselage as well as engine nacelle bays, if carrying 4x Fab 250 under the fuselage, all the doors open. Same goes for IL-4 if carrying a torpedo, the bomb bays open.

we have Beta3 on hands at current moment of time

Any news for the masses, saw a MBR with a gunsite on vk, must be for the rockets?

scan bugs fix bugs as always

yes..

Thank you so much for your continuing efforts ! & working to keep updated the Sim many of us still love & cherish !

Looking great ! ! !

Really looking forward to the next patch :)

any patch news?

The Greif and the MBR-2 looks awesome!!! :D

Split flaps instead of Fowlers on the Greif, seriously?
That's been done better before: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?topic=38982.0

Cheers!
Mike

Don't worry Storebror, the He-177 in 4.14 uses the exact same model as the mod and has fowler flaps. It is just a perspective illusion in the video.

Second this !!! Thank you:grin:

Thanks for the kind word Sir)

Any news for the masses? I'm especially interested in the he177 load outs?

new stuff added, bug hunting, bug fixing...

Do you know if the BK-37 cannon has had its fall of shot updated?

No because there is a complex with the guns (etc 2xMk108 and 1xBK37)

What a shame.

Any news for the masses to cackle over?

at current moment of time we have in our hand Beta version number 6 .. and with help from our good friend have translated version of Readme...but may be will be some small changes
in fact i suppose we are near to finish line ... but we still need make a lot of tests of future RC and Online part of game.

Would be interesting to see the A-1/U2 in the sim along with the Stalingradtyp with the BK-75 or maybe something creative like with the Do-335. The He-177 will be interesting addition no matter what.

Good! Keep up the good work!

Still wide-eyed over the amount of work that went into the latest update. Cannot wait to see it! <3

Any news for the masses? Those map shots on vk look awesome!

a lot of work before xmas .. may be show something in near future..

Looking forward to it!! :)

That is the Orthodox one? :D Ours is earlier.

i mean week earlier) ... a lot of work in end of the month and end of the year ...

Hello!
All BF-109 with MW50.
The “Engine: Overheating” warning appears too soon.
For example, BF109G10: the water temperature indicator reads 75 °, the cooling flaps are fully closed in automatic mode, but they give a warning “Engine: overheating”.
For example, BF109G6AS: warning “Engine: overheating” but the water temperature indicator shows readings of 75 °, the cooling flaps automatically perform actions (frictions) - close and open - close and open ...

New ju88 version?
 

Saw some screenshots on VK of different cockpit gunsight on Ju88,is this a new version Ju 88a13? Or just sight changes when using strafing pods?

This pits are for the ju88a4 with wb81 pods

It's been known/accepted for years now that the ENGINE OVERHEAT prompt is too conservative.

Don't worry about it. Either ignore it or turn off HUD prompts.

Anything for the masses to drool over?
 

im in a building missions writers cramp block, cant focus etc, anything delightfully kinky on the horizon?

Your not the only one. ;) I just can't seem to get in it, I guess probably cause there's no left to fly the missions. :(

What`s new?

test RC1 in progress in nearest time we are waiting RC2 build...

What doesn RC1 and RC2 stand for?

Thank you.

RC it's Release Candidat

almost done version before release...

It's ok ... all good things take time ... especially when done in volunteer's spare time!

Note that 4.13 went to RC4 before release, but I'm happy to wait for a stable release rather than having to deal with a major bug-ridden mess.

Thank you for the explenation, Sita! :)

You guys do a damn good job!

Compilation
 

I have a question: I understand that it would be a monumental task, to completely remaster the game for a re-release, but how about the assembly of the community's most endorsed legal modifications produced by SAS members and the like, hard code these into a 15.0 release (or whatever you might be on at the time), not a true remastering of the game, but a "Special Edition" a la Skyrim Style? I'd sure buy it, even if my favorite mods were excluded, because most are steps forward, in graphics, in map development, aircraft design, etc. But you, you Team D, you know what the majority of us love and I'd trust you with that call.

Now, just WOW! You have kept this still in development, after all of these years! And this looks nothing short of astounding. I will always keep a stock installation of IL2, and keep a campaign going there. Nothing new can compare to what this game is and has done!

Thank You, TD!

Will 414 have a mod selector/activator?
 

Saw on V wings a bit about 414 having a mod selector/modact. if this is the case has it been tested against the 2 new SB bombers? They both explode if using the latest SAS selector/modact, something to do with the engines data i believe.

Read me 414
 

just saw a read me in Russian on VK!

soon will be post here EN version of readme

like this for now

Read me for 4.14 by link below

Removal of static objects
 

Saw the removal of static objects for railroad objects,does that mean old maps will have the new objects added in?

mostly new objects used on new maps ...

Very very interesting! thank you very much, TD (and Sita in particular) ;-)

i'm moslty like speaker here) most part of work made all other team mates)

Maybe you can add them to old maps

btw Huge Thanks to our friends who helped with translation of read me)

"- bombers correctly open bomb bay doors."

Does this also mean that the #2 aircraft in the first element will no longer leave his bomb bay doors open after dropping payload?

Thanks! =)

Hopefully it will mean all doors wont open unless needed, such as pe-2 with 4x Fab 250 under fuselage and the nacelle doors open, or when IL-4 is carrying a torpedo the bomb doors open etc. As well as the mixed loads or a fab 500 and the bay doors open.
