Wow! That is gorgeous!

Excellent! this is such fantastic work!

in fact it's just old fashion Il2) nothing more))

Very cool. At the same time, I'm wondering how many of those FJs are going to find their weapons canisters? :P

I have a legitimate question for the future - is any work being done on the default dynamic campaigns? I'm not terribly social, so most of my Il-2 endeavors are done all by my lonesome. Having improved dynamic campaigns would therefore be of interest to me. Even just improving the order of battle, or adding aircraft types to the campaigns to keep up with Il-2's roster would be welcome.

...That said, actually having escort missions for the transports, which either conduct paradrops or land at the front for resupply, would be cool. I suppose I have to mention that when I see the new video.

:D

you could fix the La-5FN flight model
it's getting old

Or the whole La-5/7 series FM... Actually, FN is on the better side compared to others.

Out of curiosity, what do you feel to be wrong about the La-5FN FM?

it's a sad... but whole FM in 1946 ... in compare with all new AviaSims ... is not quite well((

I always take off, fly and fight with 100% fuel, no matter the plane and I do not agree!
It's the same thing about people crying about the difficulty, inability, to land the Fw 190 safely. The problem isn't the FM or I don't know wich parameter to change in it. They only need to learn to make a safe approach and landing.
Like in real life...

Gooney birds familly!
 

Very glad to see the goonies final approach!
I was waiting for these planes for years!
Can we know more about the implementation of the c-47 and sister ships ingame?
Variety of loadouts?


Specific features? We could imagine:
Towing AI horsa and waco gliders,
Realistic autopilot implementation,
Loadout/fuel management regarding weight & balance
And so much more...

And of course dedicated campaigns on new guinea maps, or Berlin Air lift or Normandy landings...

Are you saying that DT can not change the existing FMs?

i say that it's really hard to make FM right ... even in modern aviasims FM not tottaly mach with real flying.. and most of modern aviasims have more flexible ways to tune FM, to make it more realistic ... in il2 1946 very hard make it ... and especialy make it identical to some new fresh versions of Il2 family sims

oh ... i missed it some how .. sorry

at first need to say that all sisters is planning... i mean C47, Li2 and L2D

can't say at current moment about loadouts... but i suppose all three Bird will cary Troopers ... and Li2 was used in VVS RKKA like Bomber in Long Range Aviation..
but i hope we will made some aditional loadouts with cargo containers ...

it's a sad but in default 1946 is now Horsa .. just lke we don't DFS230 have for De ...
Horsa i see in some mods..
DFS230 i didn't see at all




https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIzL...ature=youtu.be

can't say how realistic is it... but on the level like autopilot on some he111 ...

keep in mind that is 1946 .. it's not some DCS or CloD))

hope some ... but not dirrectly from us.. i hope that some friendly campaign makers will take apart in it)

Thanks Sita for your detailed reply.
Glad to see the autopilot working in the three...
And thanks for sharing pictures and films about the coming 4.15
The more i see stuffs about the goonies, the happier i am ;)

few sec vid)

Thanks for sharing this video Sita,
With the features added in previous patches about realistic navigation and cockpit sharing these heavies like dc-3 and ju-52 could add a new dimension to the game.
Taking that into consideration, adding specific controls for each engine (radiator, mixture, magneto, extinctor and feather) and left and right toe brakes in the next patch could be great.
By the way i'm not sure that dissymetric flight due to an engine lost is implemented in the game. Is it?

Thank you very much Sita! those transports look very gorgeous and promising

will be some additions for he177 in future...

An interesting development. Does this show 2 postures for the gunner?

Also, are you aware that the far part of the gunsight should be a double ring and crosshair?

yes it's rear gunner pit ... and it's still in progress ..

Maybe for 4.16 or 4.17, but many RAF foreign Squadrons, like the Polish 302nd and Dutch 322th used Spitfires marks XIV and XVI, so adding those could add some variability regarding flying with different nationalities.

Maybe for 4.18 or 4.19 adding Norwegian, Greek, Indian, South African and other RAF foreign squadron nationalities voice packs. I mean, we already have those squadrons. Maybe we could have their voices, too. And female soviet voice pack for female soviet squadrons

For 4.20, Mosquitoes XVI, to bomb Berlin with the RAF and Gloster Meteors, to destroy the flying bombs

+1 for that.

+100 for that!

With just those two planes you could immediately have two more DGen campaigns in Western Europe, a Dutch one and a Polish one, and some more variability for a French one, as now the only choice you have for a late war Fighter French campaign is the Spitfire VIII.

And a myriad more Static Campaigns.

(And more squadrons, please)

Pardon me but I'm seeing Spitfire xiv and Spitfire xiv, that seems to be one mark of Spitfire, what's the difference, was there a typo?

The difference is that I can't spell. I meant XIV and XVI. Thanks for taking notice;)
I'll edit my post accordingly

Thank you very much!:)

i suppose you already seen it on M4T

Excellent! I haven’t seen this yet. Great cabin.:)

Hello. Can you please tell us, before the New Year, will you please us with something interesting?:)

I would like a fix for tree lines 169 and 170.
They look fine for Forest=2 but they are invisible for Forest=3.
Maybe just copy the model from forest=2 to the model from Forest=3. Thay way, we can have beautiful trees without losing view of preplaced treelines

So then. What is new? Anything?

I got to say, with support for IL2 1946 version 4.14.1 absolutely non existent online, I'm surprised you guys are still working on it.... I used to build missions, but with 0 people seemingly interested in flying version 4.14.1 its kinda hard to keep going.

That being said, if guys ARE still working on it. I greatly appreciate it. Bombing in the stock game is still by far the best addition you guys added. In my opinion.

it's not connect to 4.14.1 version ... as i see almost all servers are empty no difference on which version used on server ... only few of serevers have some small but stable online..

and today a lot of other games in that setting and direction which take most part of vitrual pilots .. and most of fresh blood in any of virtual skys allready even don't know what is it il2 1946 ...

After all the troubles 4.14 has caused, all the people who have not been able to join any server online, all the server operators not being able to operate their server, particularly those who were listed on Hyperlobby, and all the deliberately introduced pitfalls of 4.14... saying that this was not connected to the 4.14 version is really on the verge of impertinence.

Cheers!

HI!
Sorry to hijack the tread !
But me and a friend , we are trying to fly together on-line.
He doesn't have a capable rig to fly the other sim.
We just want to conect ours PC , with the IP.
But no joy till now.
We are tiping the IP , after some search it's still not clear how it works.
Should keep the :2100 that's already there in the window and just tipe the IP in front of it.
Or there's another metod to conect in one of the cooperative missions in side IL2 1946.
We both are with 1.14.1

Thank's in advance!

Martim

Gel-ler, Did you guys open up the ports on which ever rig is hosting? You have to do that first, then you should have no problems hosting using your ip address.
Go here: https://portforward.com/router.htm Find your router and follow instructions. One word of advice. AT SOME POINT THE WEBSITE WILL TELL YOU TO BUY THE NETWORK UTILITY WHATEVER. DO NOT BUY IT.

Also....make sure your using you public IP and not the local IP.


And to reply to Storborer:
Never had any issues hosting a dogfight mission or co-operative mission using 4.14.1 on hyperlobby. Other than the whole no players around.
I think the dedicated servers have an issue because the software they use for stats hasn't been updated in.....10 years or so? Perhaps some of the talented guys over at SAS could look into updating that?
Or since the stock 4.14.1 is modable, maybe someone could look into updating HSFX to 4.14? Of course it also wouldn't hurt if Daidalos Team actually put out a detailed guide on how to add mods to 4.14.

I've started making some small contributions towards the following Daidalos Team map projects:

• Andaman and Nicobar Islands
• English Channel

So far I've just made a couple of villages for the Andamans map, and tested a bunch of airfields for it.

I'm currently working on building reasonably historical representations of Lille-Vendeville and Lille-Nord airfields for the Channel map, using some new taxiway/track options not currently available in the game. I hope to do a lot more work for that map, but I'm still on the learning curve, and I'm not currently finding as much time for that as I would like. Life gets in the way! :-P

There is still much work to be done on these maps, so I have no idea when they will actually make it into a patch.

I'm currently running the Ultimate version (4.11.x? 4.12.y?), is there any chance of a post-Ultimate packaged version?

This one?
https://www.1cpublishing.eu/game/629...timate-edition
Isn't that the version we all have?

That might well be the currently available commercial version, which is what I was talking about.

However, there are later versions that can legally be downloaded from the net that some others are using. It is possible that a new version will be published on the net, but not published on any physical media. I like having physical media.

There is also the factor that to download you usually have to become a member of the site that offers the download.

I'm pretty sure you don't have to have an account to download patches from M4T anymore. If you wanted to patch up as far as 4.14.1, or to 4.13.4, or just to 4.12.2 as most modders do, you can do any of that from whatever your current version for free by following the directions at the M4T link below:

https://www.mission4today.com/index....p=show&kid=584

As for the latest physical media, I understand your preference, but I think the Ultimate version is currently it. I guess anything is possible for the future, but I personally very much doubt there will be further physical releases.

Steam or GOG seem to be the accepted method for new players to obtain the game now. The Steam download is currently at version 4.12.2 for US$14.95, but I know some players have succeeded in patching it up to 4.14.1. The cautions involved with patching to 4.14 are another story though, already well documented in this forum. ;)

I managed to patch my Steam game up to 4.14 with no problem, but I kept a clean copy of the game in my Documents folder just in case something went wrong. Do you have any info about people who had issues patching their Steam version of the game?

So many versions....
And most people don't even know which one they have installed. It's all very confusing.
I believe the ultimate addition is Pacific Fighters + AEP + Original IL2
A more recent CD version would be IL2 1946. But the latest version of that is 4.07.
You can get all the updates at missionfortoday for free. No account needed to go from 4.07 to 4.14.1. But no physical CD exists/
Then there's all the mod offshoots DBW, HSFX, BaT, and probably 5 or six more I just can't think of the names.

Nope, the Ultimate edition has everything1946 has (which includes original Il*2, Forgotten Battles, Pacific Fighters and AEP) and more.

Yeah, the backup install is always great advice! Re Steam, there's this thread where a player apparently broke the Steam install by using the usual M4T patch (on my advice :oops:), and then they detail at post #6 how to actually get it to work:

http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=230340

There are also some warnings in the thread about 4.14 in general. It seems to have caused problems for some people with online play and server hosting.

Personally I'm really happy with my 4.14.1 install, patched one patch at a time from the 4.07 (1946) disc, but I'm not an online player.

If you have played 4.14.1 online it would be great if you could share some details of your experience with it (positive or negative), including which servers you use. :cool:

I guess I was lucky. I stumbled across these forums before even hearing of M4T. I followed the instructions on these forums to patch my game up to 4.14.1 and had no issues. And like you said, it's always smart to keep a clean copy somewhere in case the game breaks. It looks like that's also what the person did in the forum you linked.

As for online play, I'm sorry I can't be of any help there. I primarily play Il-2 1946 offline.
