4-12 wish list (Merged)

[_RAAF_Firestorm]

TD - a request which I'm certain is already on your agenda?

You've made the B5N flyable, you cannot leave the TBD all alone in the realm of AI? Balance must be restored to the universe, the Devastator needs to live, to sing, to dance with that Mk13 torpedo hanging so deftly from its bowel. With the Kate and the Devastator as flyables, this sim will finally shun it's Grumman induced bruises and rise as the Pacific gem we all dreamed it could one day be.

Excuse me for being so verbose, I'm moved by that video of a flyable Kate.

TD, love your work, really do.

From it's...bowel? Do you mean belly?

[_RAAF_Firestorm]

Yes, you're right. Perhaps if we were to use anatomically correct analogies, the torp would hang from the "belly" of the Devastator but would reside within the "bowel" of an Avenger?

the 4.12 update is looking good! will we see the new 109`s and p47`s cockpits in 4.12 or 4.13

Well, the Devastator carried its torpedo partially internally, since it was sunken into a well on the plane's belly.

Perhaps it's sort of hanging part of the way out of its bowels, like something hanging from a dog's hind end before it scoots across the rug.

Better than that, why not the Coastal Command version where the observer had a machine gun. Why model a crew station where you can't do anything?

But, I'm going to cut TD a lot of slack. They've done wonderful work to make a number of long-standing AI planes flyable and we keep pestering them for more, more, More!

I'm guessing that they plan to eventually create crew stations for most of the planes in the game, and will also improve some of the older/uglier 3d models and cockpits. Give them time to work their magic.

Remember, though, that creating each crew station takes a lot of work and the necessary pictures and data aren't available for every crew station for every plane. For that reason, I can't imagine that planes like the Me-323 will ever be flyable.

Was a great surprise for me too.
Maybe addition of SB2C?

Would be great if we could fly a flying boat from IL2....

I daydream of the day that TD is finally released from the shackles of NG and finally allow IL-2 1946 to live up to its best potential as "The Best" combat flight sim ever.

Hmm flyable TBF and etc

[zakkandrachoff]

please, put this map in the incomming 4.12 patch :

[Mysticpuma]

Is that the Alps?

Also is there any way of contacting the third party that is sprucing up the P-47 and seeing how close we are? I'd love to see that baby treated right
