From the 4.09 Guide:

Note: Gun sights randomization

Both Goertz tube sight and Revi 3a were used in Finnish Series 3 Fokkers. About 40% of all planes had
Revi. Therefore a virtual pilot in game has a 40% chance to get Revi when default skin is selected. With user skins (BMP) the sight is Goertz by default but can be certain skins can be bind to Revi with Customization.ini file in skin folder.

Thanks for that, I didn't know that but its pretty cool, and the revi is soo much better.

Two annoying bugs that have been here for a pretty long time :

When you start airborne with the YP-80 the engine does not work at all and you can't start it. So all you can do is land somewhere on the ground (if there's ground of course).

On the Slovakia Map if you play a Scramble mission for the axis your own AAA starts shooting at you, not very nice.

Voilà.

Oh, could it be possible to tweak a little bit the bombers' gunners? I mean they're wayyyy too accurate, it's insane. They can put a bullet in your head at 750 meters. And they shred your plane to pieces in 15 seconds (when you need twice the time to down the bombers)... ^^

I have problem... Hmm... I installed Il-2 Sturmovik: 1946 (v4.07m) then I installed 4.08m patch and it worked fine but after the 4.09m patch installation the game woudn't start. I can see the process in task manager but it disappears after few seconds. Can you help me?

PS. Sorry for my bad english...

Only if you choose ACE for the AI gunners. ACE is meant to be insane, just choose Veteran AI for the enemy bomber flights instead.




The following is more an observation than a bug report:

The Dunlop triple brake pressure gauge functions correctly on the Avia B534 but is not enabled on aircraft introduced earlier the J8A. Any chance of getting the gauge functional on older aircraft at some point.

Well, many gauges on older models doesn't work proper way, but most of them are less important (like a brake air pressure gauge).
It would mean quite some large ammount of work to fix them all.

However, we pay attention to our new creations regarding this aspect, but reworking older once will not happen too soon. Maybe in 2020, when we have no more new ideas.

EDIT: I have to correct myself... for the new navigation features, it was necessary to rework some of the compass gauges. So we DO rework older gauges, but nethertheless, it was in a bigger context.

So there is still hope that the wrong speed gauge of the g4m gets fixed??
Remember, the scale is meant to indicate knots per hour but the needle indicates km per hour -> the needle is always pegged at full speed in level flight.
