You mean compared to all the times in real life that you fired on Mustangs and they did not spin as much? Just want to know what real information you are basing your complaint on.....

Like Caspar said, it does not have to be beautiful, it has to be realistic, which might run against what a lot of modders attempt with their hacks, trying to change the sim so it suits their Western Hollywood wet dreams of what WWII aviation was like.

Daidalos does it's research, makes the best decisions and puts in the effort to improving the sims enjoyment for adult simmers. Anyone that has any patience knows they are on the job and if they wait most issues will be sorted in the next patch.

For those who are lacking that adult quality, patience, then hack away....

As usual I will enjoy the latest official patch of the sim, adjust to it's changes and have fun.

Thanks Daidalos

Jumoschwanz..please do us all a favour...and stop with your hatefull anti-Modding Posts here.

I like the creative work that TD has made with the 4.12 Patch,and I also like the creative work from the Modders who will follow. I enjoy the IL-2 with the best of both worlds,the Official stuff from TD and the Modders artwork.

Well Daium!! You don't have to be so condescending.. so based on your assessment then it must have been wrong all along until now huh..? I am just making a friggin comment man so don't act like I slandered your mother or something.. Save the nasty BS for someone else.. Notice I said 4.11.1 .. not HSFX or UPRC3

TD please check out this very short video..

What does the "smart axis" toggle switch in the Controls Hardware do? I'm pretty sure this is a new feature and I couldn't find a reference to it in the 4.12 read-me pdf.

So you can enable "smart axis" and you don't get the same option for allies? please work on this for 4.13!

'Smart allies' feature granted!

I hope the FW 190 FMs get revisited 4.13.

So I finally built a clean install of IL2 in order to give 4.12 a good run through. My initial thoughts were, "WOW!" and their still running that order of excitement. There are so many improvement it's hard to nail down any one thing. First and foremost, flying the Ki-45 is a blast. It's been one of my favorite aircraft since my younger days, and flying it in IL2 is really living a dream. The new graphical effects are outstanding. A lot of the new ditching a gear bits I think will really shine in a campaign. Nursing my wounded bird home to find out one of the main gears will not lower and having to make a realistic belly landing will add to the immersion ten fold.

Overall, another outstanding patch by TD. Thank you!!!

Definitely, I experienced it with a Pe-8 mission recently. AA hit me and I saw one of my main landing gears dropped. I lowered the other gear then raised it again, but the damaged gear stayed down. Later, on approach, when I tried lowering the other gear again, it wouldn't drop; I'm guessing the hydraulic fluid leaked out? I had to make a landing on just one wheel, the slide mark on and off the runway behind my plane looked cool.

Does the Pe-8 have a hydraulic pressure gauge?

This was introduced in 4.11.

From the guide:

Smart Axis
Dual throttle has turned out to be little problematic if player has only two throttles and plane
has more than two engines. Normally if player has dual throttle, he has power 1 and power 2
mapped and old power (all) axis unmapped. If player wants to fly plane with more engines
that two, he needs to go to controls menu and map one of the throttle axis to the old power
axis which controls all engines.
When the smart axis feature is enabled and user has only power 1 & 2 mapped and plane has
four engines, the power 1 handles both left side engines and power 2 both right side engines.
With three engine planes, the center engine gets average value of both levers. Prop pitch
works similar way.
To enable this feature, add following in conf.ini under [rts] section.
[rts]
UseSmartAxis=1
