[REL] 4.11 Official Release
 

@moderator: please make it a sticky

Dear IL-2 fans,

On behalf of 1C:Maddox Games and Daidalos Team, we are pleased to present you the patch 4.11.

The development of 4.11 patch took us yet another year to complete. Our main focus was on delivering you an uncompromised 6DoF experience and a large scale re-programming of AI logic. We have also listened to your feedback regarding bomb fuzes as introduced in 4.10 and have completely reworked this optional selectable feature in more detail and historical accuracy. Along side the new planes, ground units and additional content included in the patch, we believe that each of you will find something you have been waiting for and will now enjoy.

As with the previous patches we would like to ask the IL-2 community members to please report any relevant issues or errors we did not catch through our beta testing process. We have just opened three 4.11 debugging threads. One is dedicated to new AI changes, the second for any 6DoF related issues, and the third one for all other general bugs.

We would like to thank all those who made their mirror servers available for the 4.11 patch download. Please note that Mission4Today download links are available for its registered members only.

Last but not least we would like to dedicate this patch to late Sergey 'Vert' Kubyshkin, a talented Russian modeller who passed away and did not get a chance to fly the IL-4 in the cockpit he built for all of us to enjoy. S!

The final version of 4.11 Guide is included with the patch download.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! Millions of thanks!!! You guys rock!!!!
A great ~S~ to all Daidalos Team members!!!!

Nice. Thx

Thank you DT for all your effort:grin:

Thank you DT, many interesting features in this one.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

im telling E69 is at a meeting, aobut 30 guys in a single channel when this news was given.


its partyyyyyy hereee!

Firstly.. S~ to Sergey 'Vert' Kubyshkin

Secondly.. Thanks for what I'm sure will be another great update.

Downloading, awesome:)

thanks to all at TeamD.

Thank you TD. You guys rock!!!

Brilliant!!!

Tks you so much :)

Thank you for your dedication and continued support of this classic flight sim!

My condolences to Sergey 'Vert' Kubyshkin's family and friends!

/KC

Same as above! ;)

Thanks you!!!

just have to say... the track ir implementation is purely brilliant. no faults till now, compatible with Sans FOV changer, and way softer than any mod i've tried.

i actually prefer this implementation over COD's one, specially the way you got the " shift+1" done.

Oh, and AI, its finally giving a fight. tough its not much of personalized, i guess. you can steel turnfight an AI plane with a Fw or a even worst turner, tough now they actually do some really good maneuvers. i was following this spit who responded to all of my rolls in a very realistic way, i rolled right, he rolled left, and on and on.


excellent job guys.

Thanks very much Team D! Downloading now! :-)

My condolences for Sergey, and thank you for the patch!

Thank You Team Daidalos and S! Vert: Just gave his IL-4 a quick spin. In combination with 6dof this cockpit really shines!

Thank you guys!

It's amazing how you keep giving this good old sim new life.

Thanks and all, but....
 

Thanks and all for the patch. It will be nice to fly the Pe-8.

BUT

Why doesn't my external enemy/friendly lock veiws work anymore? It's like that for all my squads games. Is this something that is supposed to be like this? Or is it a bug?

Excellent... :grin:

Thanks so much, DT! Downloading the patch right now. :cool:

Woot!

Check difficulty settings (and read the 4.11 guide!) :cool:

What he said.

:cool:

I had to read the OP a couple of times for it to actually sink in. v4.11 is actually out. :-P

All I have to say is...

It's Peanutbuddajellytime! Peanutbuddajellytime! Peanutbadda-jell-LAY! Peanutbadda-jell-LAY!

:mrgreen:

P.S. - A very deserved ~S~ to Sergey 'Vert' Kubyshkin.

Just tried it with my new TrackIR 5. At last I can understand how anyone actually managed to dogfight in a FW 190. You don't look over the engine, you look round it... :grin:

The 6DoF upgrade will probably prove its worth most by going almost unnoticed - it seems to do what it is supposed to, without fuss. Exactly as it should do. There will have been a heck of a lot of work put into fixing the cockpits to achieve this, and I'll extend special thanks to those responsible....

I'm sure that the entire IL2 Community salutes and thanks Sergey and THE Team for their work!

Thank you
 

Hi team

Thank you very much. What a great job you are making.

S!

Many thanks. Have to test it immediately when I get from work :)

My deepest condolences for Sergey 'Vert' Kubyshkin, to his family and his friends! S!

And my most profound thanks to all of you for this hard work and dedication,
all this time - for us!

S!

Gringo

Thank you so much!

Can't download until midnight here but I'm positively salivating with anticipation. Somebody tell me about the new AI!!!

ITs still not much of a challenge, but, they now look more lifelike and do a variety of maneuversboth offensevely and defensevily. they also O/H and are affected by negative g's. im preatty sure i was able to sneak at ones six too.

@Pupo162, have you tried multiple AIs at veteran/ace level, please? Do you still find it too easy? Thanks.

That sounds great.

I'm not too worried about their individual skill, the beauty of Il-2 is you can have massive hordes of aircraft going at it without needing a supercomputer from hell to run it. When you've got 50-100 aircraft in the sky it changes everything, how good they are individually doesn't really matter because you can't fixate and end up in a clumsy, inefficient dogfight if you want to survive.

Looks like I'll be firing up DCG and pulling an all-nighter!

ive tried easy and ace. mostly on 1 vs 1 situations. ITs still easy. but its far far more dynamic.

in 4.09 AI would do the exact same thing once you are at his six, independently of its skill level. at 4.11 this was incdredibly different. The easy AI, made some very poor decisions in the fight and i ended up on his six reletevely quixk, and once there it just tried to do some rolls but in a very noobish way. The Ace AI did a book merge and it was a very good fight for about 1 min, and then when i had lost the fight, all the AI had to do was to use the spitfire turn rate and jsut turn me ( i was in the Fw190) , and when it did that, the turn was verry bad, it turned slower than my FW, and i was able to easely follow the turn, outurn him, get into his six, and enjoy the very well programmed AI defefense. it did some rolls a scissor atempt and such, eventually i got him.

that is is a problem with the AI. they dont use their turn cabability to their advantage. No matter if you are flying against a spit or a fW190, their turns are always very slugish and undetermined, ence easy to follow.


im considring psoting a video review.

Thank you very much for 4.11.

I went into the single missions and saw the added historical Pe-8 and IL-4 missions. Nice!
Exactly what I was asking for in another thread with the russian community members making the new cockpits possible.
Thanks guys! I will give it thorough test-flying and hope to learn much from it :)

As a personal experience of the AI... they are now incredible shooters, especially at 'veteran' and 'ace' setting. Regarding flying abilities they just show more variety, but are not necessarly 'better'.

This is a personal oppinion. I didn't have to do anything with AI development, other than testing, so I guess, I can tell my impressions on a independantly base. :)

Awesome job TD! just awesome! Hope this year will be just as exciting in terms of new patches. :) Big thanks.:grin:

Thanks x10.000 DT :)

Very much appreciated..

Anyone getting a crash at 5% loading? Can't remember what that is a symptom of. Wrong exe perhaps... :(

When the news about the last minute broke out I was certain that we won't see 4.11 for 2 more months at best. Glad I was wrong! :)

Excellent job TD, and thank you for the great work!

I only hope the hot fix won't be too long and too big. ;)

Try to redownload (maybe another mirror) and reinstall.
Also as suggestion: unpack the EXE via WinRar or 7Zip and put all the files manually to your main game folder, overwrite existing files.

Have tested it against the AI under different conditions, and I have no CTD or a strange AI behaviour. All is fine fr me, no strange textures or other stuff.

Do the people install this patch to a "clean" il2 install or a modded one?!

mines clean hope for the same results.

We in the team could repoduce the chrashing as well.

Yes, after having some QMB against ace AI I can say their targeting is amazing: I've been shot from angles I wouldn't think them possible! :)

a HUGE THANK YOU Daidalos !!
We'll be up on testing ASAP :)

This is such a huge improvement. You guys did an excellent job with the AI! Really takes immersion to the next level, giving the player a real sense of fear of the opponent. It will improve my flying tenfold now that I can practice offline and really have quite a challenge. Thank you guys for your hard work and devotion to the best sim ever! S!

Btw... I really think Ilya should hire you guys out to do the AI for CloD now! ;) What a disaster.... atm anyways. I'm sure TD could work wonders with CloD. Of course I'm not doubting MG's abilities though, as they've done quite a marvelous job on making the beginning of what is to become an even better sim than 1946.

I want to thank you espesially for the PE-8. The pits are perfect. Many thanks for your good job on this

5% crash on loading indicates

~You just upgraded Il2. During this you missed an SFS file Somewhere. Go back and repeat.

~You just installed a mod enabler. Then , also you might have missed an SFS file (could happen with some enablers) or, your copy of IL2 is a direct to drive copy bought over the internet.That means One of your SFS files and some of your dlls are spiked by UBI. The fix for this is here: http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,1531.0.html

~Somehow your soundsetting is something other than 44.1KHz, and this is somehow screwing everything else. I personally have never been able to reproduce this crash. But know about it anyway, Access your sound settings through the IL2Setup.exe , or IL2SET.exe in your game folder. This seems to apply only to old UI installations anyway. One of those "funny little spies"

~You did nothing and now there is a 5% crash. One of your SFS files somehow got lost or corrupted. Count them and replace them if needed. Copy all SFS files over from a backup of your game


...you did make a backup right....

Great news !!! I decided to check in here to see if this was out... I see it came out yesterday..

Thanks Diadalos for all your hard work. I cant wait to get home and install this.

Thank you DT, without your effort one can't but wonder if this sim was still alive as it now is, online & offline. Incredible work there guys.

"Last but not least we would like to dedicate this patch to late Sergey 'Vert' Kubyshkin, a talented Russian modeller who passed away and did not get a chance to fly the IL-4 in the cockpit he built for all of us to enjoy. S!"

So Sorry to here this, my condolences to his family.
The Cockpit is very 3D awesome work. Sergey!

S!

Thanks a lot.

Nooo! Here?!

Lol!

OK ran some test on clean install vanilla and no issues.

The 6DOF is awesome seems more real and intuitive.

the air frame noise is back.

Good Job guys thank you!


Don't like the fact my Spit over heats at 80c oil temps.

I thought I was a bad pilot b4, now I find myself ducking and jiving just to stay alive a little longer, wow I suck at this. Having a great time with it though, thanks for the awesome job.

I downloaded the 4.11 patch via torrent and when I installed it, it failed on me at the last bit?!?! It said that there was a corrupt file and to try a fresh download?

Anyone have this problem? What should I do?

Better try another mirror then (not sure, whats wrong with torrents today) - i.e. Megaupload one is quite fast and reliable.

Join the club.
I developed a bad habit of using a gentle turn observing AI missing behind me.
Not happening any more. They are more then happy to put a bullet between my eyes.

You did amazing job with the AI, and the PE-8 is perfect and addictive. Since I try to test this thorrowly I stayed only in ETO for now.
Looking forward to fly more:-P

I'm not beyond making funny errors myself, especially when trying to speak another language, but that has to be one of the funniest misspellings of a word! :mrgreen:

Many thanks for your continued support of 1946.

Sweeeet!

I just love that you continue to improve the old beauty! Thanks a lot!

/Mazex

some things are awsum in the patch

but i got a question did you Daidalos Team guys learn your coding from the clod guys.

they went from stutters to ctd you Daidalos Team guys went from a game that ran good to a ctd nightmare.

Dunno, works like charm for me. Did a clean install of 4.10.1 and 4.11 on top of it.

No CTDs thus far, been testing it last 3h.

What a Sensles comment, thank you Pegasus, ... on the other hand you can patch back to 1.0 and be happy with what you will have!

You have never done a misstake right :evil:

Even if we recieve a CTD after a while .... its nothing that cant be fixed ;)

I`m enjoying it so far i can, and the new 6DOF is great for taxiing around! Good work guys! Waiting patiently for the fix

Thank you thousand times for your hard work in your free time!

Well, I'm 100% sure of one thing. He's not a programmer.

tank you DAIDALOS you is very best team GRAZIE.

Thanks! You made my week, month ähh. yeah!

TY very much Daidalos !

:rolleyes: http://theairtacticalassaultgroup.co...s/signs047.gif
well then youd be 100% wrong when they supposedly have done all that testing and then turn out the patch and well read the threads.

i make mistakes but that's what testing is for what they kept saying was why it was taking so long

I did testing for TD during this most recent patch. At no point during the beta did I ever experience any instability at all. It was just as stable as IL-2 normally is. Something minor happened after the final test build that is causing this crash to desktop issue (I've experienced it with 4.11 final too).

The long testing has a lot to do with a totally new AI package and while it was working quite well from the beta and alpha builds I used... it came a long way and is quite a bit better than it was during those early tests. A matter of refinement rather than some show stopping problems.

Thanks TD - you guys are the best.

Thanks for all the hard word the team have put into this!
It is very much appreciated.

I concur with what IceFire said. I never had one CTD during the entire beta test process.

Not one.

Any link to a working torrent file? The one posted wont work for me.

Time for a revised engine manual?
 

Just a thought with all the new changes and the overheating, maybe its time for a players guide to the rpm prop pitch powerband by major subtypes? I guess the old pitch within 5% of throttle is still a good guide, or should we be messing with pitch at all if using a constant speed prop??

Yes, that's still a good guide and you definitely need to work pitch with a CSP.

I flew online on HL on a summer map. I choose a FW 190 D9. I used its WEP (don't know the german title for it) only at takeoff with 100% power until I reached 2000 altitude then I switched it off. I noticed that during my ascending to 2000 m the indicator of the oil temperature gauge was steadily increasing. After I switched off WEP the oil temperature indicator was decreasing and stabilizing to normal. I was flying most of the time with my WEP off and noticed that I don't need it as much as I used to use it on 4.10.1 patch. With WEP off I haven't encountered anymore any kind of overheating.
Another remark: in a dive I felt like the D9 is more stable at higher speeds and recovering from a dive is much easier, smoother not having too much chance to break your wings off. Generally I like the improvements made to the game with this patch! ~S~

Thanks a lot, you are awesome guys!
I was so happy when i heard about the 4.11 features that i bought 46 again for me and 2 friends!

Thanks guys, S!

The days of cruising around your whole flight with WEP and 100% throttle are over kids.

Reality check time.

Is the torrent link down?

Still very pleased about this update, trying out the IL-4 I rewrote the PE-2 Front campaign by adding IL-4 plane and ordonance , just so we can wait for another scratch campaign. Tryed out the parked spawn feature too on two of the missions

Thanks!

Great! Many thanks. The hotfix seems to fix the CTD's as far as I can tell.

Rgs,
FP

Thank you TD for your efforts at bringing us this wonderful patch. And ESPECIALLY THANK YOU to Oleg Maddox for bringing the world this labor of love. IL-2 will go down in history as one of the all-time greats!

And, hats off to Sergey...

A big thanks to Team Daidalos, all their supporters, family & friends for this big upgrade and another year of hard work you spent for us.

I have no words to tell how much v4.11m enjoys me!

S! to Sergey 'Vert' Kubyshkin for the wonderful Il-4 he made for us.

Thanks for getting the hotfix out so quickly guys, excellent work.

Excellent effort, thanks guys, as an offline player the improved AI is top priority for me. 10/10 :grin:

Cheers,
T_T

Great stuff- iI do hace one important question regarding my install of this newest patch:Can I load it directly into a 3.0Ultra Patch install or do I need to install onto a virgin 4.101 install & then go thru the reinstall of 3.0UP/Dark Blur World?
Maybe a better question is whether it will work with either?
Many thanks ...again- can't wait to see the TBD Devastator!
