Daidalos Team's Room -QUESTIONS AND REQUESTS ONLY on IL2 Authorized Addons

Nearmiss, too quick on the trigger? It is supposed to be as in the logo = Daidalos, not Daidalus. It used to be "lus" in this thread, then it was briefly corrected to "los" (by original author of the thread?) and then back to "lus" by you, thus the confusion.

A few humble requests for the fine men of Team Daedalos:

Could the AI routine be fixed for certain bombers that have a tendency to plough into the back of one another when set in grouped flights - examples are the Beaufighter, Mosquito, A-20, Stuka and Ju-88. Other planes such as the Il-2 seem to have an avoidance routine where the plane in front will climb slightly to allow the one behind to take its rightful place in the formation. I think the Ju-88 may also need its landing routine fixing, as they tend to collide in the run-in.

Also could the carrier take-off routine be fixed for the TBF/TBM and F4U? - these planes tend to swing into the island or off the side during rougher weather. This seems to be weight-related as it can be lessened (but not eradicated) by reducing fuel.

Finally, improving in-game markings, increasing smoke/fire visibility, improving textures for current maps and improving the models for the older vehicles, which are starting to look very dated now.

Thanks for your consideration gentlemen.

Oh yes - forgot the big one - the ground attack routines for various AI planes (mainly American for some reason) are currently suicidal when rocket-firing or strafing. Examples are the F4U, P-47, P-38 and TBF. I think this is due to their tendency to take on two targets in one dive and fire two or more rockets or strafe twice - it greatly increases their likelihood of ploughing into the ground.

Also the Fw-190F-8 seems to get itself into a strange low-level death-spin due to the tight turns it tries to make when strafing.

Questions to TD:

Rear seat for Beaufighter Mk 21 - are there any plans to model this?
Dogfights with moving objects - are there any plans to incorporate any such mechanic?

EDIT: I don't want to type everything again but look at my post in the G940 thread and you'll have a possible fix
