Great news DT!! Congratulations!!!!!!
You really deserve it.

PS: airborne radar???

Not in 4.10. It will be finished and released in a complex scenario which will make it more useful.

For a second there when looking at the change of gun sights on the I-15bis I thought TD were using 6DOF.. But looking at it again it seems looking at a certain angle it's possible to change between the three gun sights..right?
(I'll have to continue dreaming of official 6DOF capability in IL2 I guess *sigh*)

Those are just 3 different predefined camera positions for each gunsight. No 6DOF. I-15bis cockpit was modeled with this feature in mind, so it doesn't have holes and gaps, unlike virtually all pre-4.09 cockpits do. And that is the reason, why 6DOF haven't been yet implemented officially.

Thanks guys, great work!!!
Glad to see some facelift for the Bf110, hope more Bf110 will come.

let me guess, a flyable Bf110C is off limits for IL2 because of SoW , like Spit I, flyable Blenheim, "real" MTO maps, Channel map....................................
even as the Bf110 units, small in numbers, were so important 1941-42 in their groundattack role at the easternfront

We have been looking thoroughly into 6DoF capability, but given the current limitations, we will not introduce full 6DoF unless two conditions are met/solved:

1. Cockpit 3D modelling is repaired for those cockpits that are not 6DoF compatible (= huge rework)
2. The 6DoF is enabled for all players, even for those without TrackIR to keep fair situational awarness conditions for everyone.

At the moment 6DoF development is on hold. We may take a second look after 4.10.

First, I didn't mean as sounding negative with my comment. I am very very excited and happy for all the work TD is and have been putting out for IL2!

I very much understand point no 1. There are alot of glitches in the 3D models from a 6DOF point of view.. Just look back over the tail of a Ki-61 Hei with modded 6DOF.. there is none!
I don't understand point no 2. You must mean ".. is available for all players"? It can't be that you won't release 6DOF capability until all and every one has head tracking as standard equipment.. ! If though that is the intention, then we are already off on the wrong foot; not all have head tracking gear, not all has HOTAS controls, not all has PC hardware to maintain a smooth game play at all levels and detail of grafix.. etc.. It's up to the "user" to make use of features IMO.

This update made my day. Congrats, TD!

Does it mean that you can rework (not repaint) the cockpits models of some early planes like Bf-109 and P-47 which have ugly interiors in the future?
