Could you please wait for the patch and whine after you actually tried it please?




May have to take more than one tho.

I'm quite pleased with the news on the whole, but I just want to point something out that was disappointing to read.

Unfortunately some deeply-set limitations in the engine code do not allow us to minimize the margin of error at altitudes about 7 km (21,000 ft) where most aircraft begin to perform worse than their real-life counterparts. Fixing this requires more extensive code rework and will therefore only appear with the upcoming sequel.

Not long ago I posted that we could expect 1c not to fix things until after the sequel was out. Looks like I was at least partially correct.

I took a lot of abuse and ridicule from the moderators here and was given some ridiculous number of infraction points because I was "spreading deliberate falsehoods".

Feels good to be right in the face of jerks being wrong.

So at low alt the spit Ia still performs like a joke and you have to only fly above 18000 ft to see a performance increase. This is laughable. Who won the war for gosh sakes. what pilot notes are you reading are they Germans.

I am sad to hear this.

There is an entry regarding Spit Ia in the IL2 bugtracker http://www.il2bugtracker.com/issues/84

Please vote up and add reference data if you have some.

BTW there is no entry regarding 109 performance. Anyone has good reference to add if its performance is not correct?

I find it a bit strange that we would be expected to have to vote to get the correct performance for the aircraft in the sim. Correct performance and historic specification of aircraft should already be a priority top ten objectives for the developers I would have thought. Still, I will start voting then.

Thank you for the update!
Thank you for trying to maintain as the leit motiv for your work the "It's historically accurate" sentence.

Data might or might not be perfect, manipulated or misused. Working this way, the "It's historically accurate" way, in simulation is always the right path.
Of course this can be a little naïve but still all honest work attitudes affected by limitations are.

Thank you for not mixing up "air power" vs "aircraft performance".

Salutes.

Luthier can you say if the bombsights have been fixed?
