I guess getting an aircraft straight again after was bend in high Gs is a big trouble in reality. I was thinking that this is the kind of damage no one would expect to be "repairable".


What I hope is that ZUTI made the possibility to change the aircraft after you managed to land it on airfield without the need to bail out when "refly" is disabled or disabled for a period of penalty. This is particularly good when you have a repairable aircraft but with high damage so it will take a lot longer... so... the aircraft is put to the back of the refly que... sort of speak. And also... is good when you want to change role... fighter to bomber or vice versa. I know that bailing and hitting refly don't lose your plane in MDS in this situation but it looks... odd .




The readme does look promising indeed.

The feature of AI not seeing into clouds/night is missing but... maybe is just omitted by mistake in this release doc or maybe it will take just a tad longer to make it work and will be released soon after.

Also... support for wider FOVs would be a nice surprise if it would make it in the game in 4.10 .

I hope it is just that .doc - I think that it is one of the most important features of the patch. Especially if they introduce HS-129 - you don't have other chance to escape fighters other than to hide in the clouds or have AI loose sight of you in some other way. One of the biggest flaws in offline flying old Il-2 was that AI would chase you through the whole map without the ability for the player to hide. I ended up many times flying Il-2 with 12+ Bf-109s chasing me through the whole map to my airfield. This feature would have substantial effect on the sim and I am hoping it is included in the patch.

I thought TD has made clear that lately the focus was to make existing things work and that some features had to be taken out? I wouldn't hold my breath on seeing more than the guide announces. But then left out contents is usually top priority for the next patch.
