Awesome!!!

Thanks a lot TD!!!

Great job, and thanks for following through for us all even if it took a little longer then most of the community expected.


Totally worth the wait!

1. ok, but is it possible to change the time, because now it's look like it's 2-4 secondes, but I would like about 10 sec.

2. Yep thanks, I found it :)

Maybe I'm drunk, but the game seems to load faster, and run smoother with in 4.12.

I'm very happy/impressed. Love the subtle changes.

The B1-6 still has unlimited power when out of fuel and using the ramjets, though. :)

And NIGHT time is still WAY too dark (the method by which night is rendered using the alpha channel (transparency) of the blackout effect is not a great implementation). At least, this is how I perceive it's accomplished.

By the way, I have HSFX and am able to easily disable it and installed 4.12 with no problems; but maybe because I do not use the auto-updater. I can explain how if anyone is interested (via PM).

I also now have created a MOD that brings it back to stock 4.11.1, then I can apply HSFX, etc. (DT.dll, files.sfs, fb_3do24.SFS, fb_maps18.SFS is all you need to backup/restore from 4.11.1 to 4.12.). The other SFS files are ignored with 4.11.1.

I've never, in 12 years have had more than one installation of IL2. :) Now, I realize with DBW and UP that might be a problem, but HSFX is pretty clean and easy (although I despise auto-updaters).

The thing I'm really diggin' now, in addition to everything else, is the new impact effects of rounds hitting an aircraft, especially the "knocking-the-dust-off" effects. So far I've only used the guns on the LaGG-3, BF-109F2, and F4F-3 Wildcats and it all looks very cool, and gives the experience an authentic feel.

Very much appreciate the reduced impact flash effects for smaller caliber rounds, and also the reduction of the "green Corn Flakes" debris trail following behind an aircraft being shot. The over-the-top nature of that and the flash effects always annoyed me in previous versions of the game.

4.12 patch
 

I loved it. Great work DT!!!:-P

Niiicee, thanks very much TD!

Great job... Thanks for keeping this old sim alive

The only thing that is annoying with the patch it's for the command. Before it was 7 to call help, now it's 8... So each time I want help I click on the other thing and nobody understand :lol:
And the same thing for calling airfield. Before it was 8 and now it's 9.

Love the new interface customization

Will give it a full test tonight online :)

Well done and thanks for the hard work once again to all concerned at DT

S!
