DT == Channel Map for IL2 1946

[Lagarto]

Much as I would like to see Channel map included one day (who wouldn't?), I can live without it as long as maps of other forgotten theaters of war keep coming (like the forthcoming Tunisia map).
Some time ago I suggested a map covering the North Sea area, with eastern England coast on one side, and Dutch coast (as far as Zuider Zee) on the other, a sensible compromise IMHO.
A map of Sicily/Malta would be a blast.

So here's silly question #1 time. Don't most folks that play online do so with at least the HSFX or Ultrapack mods? I know SEOW has a ton of maps, so do Ultrapack and DBW, forgot it HSFX does.

"...most..."? I would say no. My guess would be that at least half of the online players mostly play stock. Add to that most of the mod players also have the capability (and often use it) to play stock. So, you have a large majority (probably over 75%) of online players who have immediate access to a stock version.

The CooP's I host are stock with CRT=2 on to stop the modded game users getting in.

I have witnessed some strange stuff with the mod packs over the last few years,
also the improvements DT have bought to the stock game is increasing the people using it over modded versions,
when they work out a sound plug-in for it, it will be a real winner

My preference is to fly stock and it seems its a growing one with the Hyperlobby pilots of late.

Having a channel map would be a definite boost for IL2

And that trend will dissipate with the release of HSFX 6, and the 4.11 compatible up variation.

Question is would DT even be interested in such a project if they got the go ahead?

I'm not going into Stock v Mods here.

I hope they seriously think about it as it would be a huge addition for IL2.

Well one would think that of there was any interest in it that they would have broached the subject when Oleg left.
So how about it magot, would you if you could?

The biggest problem in this topic is, that the rules of the contract are written and to change something, the whole contract must be revised and newly signed. I'm not sure, if 1C (not Luthier or Oleg) is even interested in new negotiations regarding an old game. And taking in account, how long it lasted, until even the first contract was set up, signed and 'ok' for every party, I fear, that JtD is correct with his estimation about the timespan, that is to expect to let such happen - if ever.

EDIT:
1. We really would like to have all doors open, and we would also feature the BoB theatre (why not?), if we could.
2. As a personnel oppinion: I find BoB as a theatre boring like hell. And I really wonder, why 1C choosed it to be the first featured in its new title.

Bear in mind that that is only with CRT2 NOT enabled.

They can still get in a stock crt=2 game with mods, there's a work around that takes seconds to do.

I know when someone's entered the coop with crt=2 hack if there's a low level bomb run the humans get instantly killed dropping their bombs.

Remove the cheating pilot the mission works perfect.

I think it has some thing to do with the new bomb synchronization that TD did when you actually see the bombs hit from another pilot instead of the old delay where you saw instant explosion but their bombs had not gone off due to delay.

Its a cool feature TD did but the mods mixed with vanilla cause low level bombing insta explosions.

Anyway back to the Channel map lets hope we can have one in the stock game it needs a boost in the online community
