I know that many don't think highly of the 185, but it seems that something has definitely changed. It does nothing but stall. The MC205 also seems a lot more unstable.

Could it be stick settings? I have always used Crazy Ivans stick settings. Would this, some how, be different in 4.09?

Is your "yet" a polite indicator that recent FM changes have Maddox finger prints on them? It is what it is.....it's ok if the FM has been changed, but I would like to know before I go ripping into my stick configurations.

Can't say anything regarding Maddox Games. I - personally - don't think they touched anything (since they're up to their elbows in work for SoW) so I'm not sure where the effects come from. I just don't know ... maybe placebo rearing its ugly head again?

A tiny bug to report on one of the new 4.09m QMB missions.

Map: MTO
Target: Airbase
Defence: None

Although Defence is set to 'None', there is still a nasty AAA Tank (Coelian) defending the base. There should be no AAA on the base at all. (There is a seperate AAA setting for that).

Same bug with Crimea map in QMB: with No AAA, ships still fire to blue SM-79 .

Well, if they changed the M.C.200 flight model to increase drag because of its airframe, it's possible that it also affected other Macchis like the M.C.205, considering that they have a similar airframe, after all...

"with No AAA, ships still fire to blue SM-79"

This has always occured. I think this comes back from the first IL-2, but I don't remember exactly. But I'm 100% sure it happened on 4.07 and 4.08.

I also recall this always being so. "No AAA" affects only airfield-defence-type fixed guns. Ships and tanks are not (and never were) affected by this setting.

The MC200 FM was the only one adjusted the 202 and 205 were untouched.

Oh I have no doubt it could be a sugar pill. The weird thing is, several had mentioned a huge light difference in the planes I mentioned earlier. I remained skeptical until I flew them. It wasn't subtle. Maybe I will get a few more hours sleep tonight.

Im having problems in the full mission builder. Apart from placing units of a type and the type not being what i selected, which seems to be erratic, one problem i get EVERY time is a minimizing to desktop every time i try to change the loaded map. It seems IL2 now remembers the last map you had loaded when you launch it, rather than the FM builder being empty on start, so this means that the screen freezes sometimes when trying to load a different map. its odd really, because it will either Minimize to Desktop or i will have to task switch around then back to IL2 to load a map, or it will minimize itself.

Ive no idea whats causing this. Im on Vista32 with Clean Install of IL21946 with 408m and 409m, both downloaded from 1C FTP server.

I found it odd that noone else has mentioned it yet, so i thought i would ask.
