It's quickly becoming obvious why they would send large formations of bombers in the hopes if hitting a single target....

So does anybody know how to get the other planes in your formation to drop their bombs at the same time you do? Or does the broken comms system prevent us from doing this?

I would like to see implemented the "AI Pilot" function when you are at the bombardier station, simulating the interaction between Bombardier and the Pilot. It would be more realistic than trying to fly the bomber looking throught de bombsight using the stick and rudder.

I dont rember if it was possible (in the original IL2) to make the rest of the bombers drop bombs on your command. Would be another nice feature (provided your aim is better than mine lol).

the command is there, in difference to IL2'46 !
But i guess it is not working in the moment..

i faced the following proplem:
flying bombers in multiplayer, when i am switching from pilotseat to any other position the engines loose power. The Blenheim's engines even are stopping ?!?!?!?

Is it only me or have other players this proplem too ?

My bet would be:

You are controlling your aircraft throttle and/or prop pitch with the keyboard.

But you still have mapped the throttle and/or prop pitch to analogue axis of the hotas

Right?


This issue is caused because the game has the nasty habit of re-reading the position of that analogue axis every time you switch positions; I you want to control the aircraft with the keyboard, you'd better make a profile called "bombardier" where you have disabled that/those analogue axis.

I'm actually using a Saitek X52 pro stick and throttle, and i encounter the same problem when i switch stations.

also X52PRo.
My only throttle control is the axis of the X52, no other buttons mapped.
For pitch i have two versions on my X52 throttle : the forefinger hatswitch to fly the 109/110 and the thumbwheel to fly all other aircraft.

when i change positions in german aircraft, the engine are loosing power for a short moment (one can describe it as a 'hiccup' ;) ), but the Blenheim engines dont "survuve" this, they quit. The german ones keep running.

and to repeat, i have this proplem only in Multiplayer, in Singleplayer not
