Look because your pc is crap, its clear you have a problem understanding what update suggestions can mean, DLC ASWELL it could be that they are a russian company and are not clear about things but you still like to make your self god of forums hoping you'l get a promotion one day. Its almost impossible to get a decent update with a file thats like 1kb big. Unless of course they are changing small details such as acuracy and multiplayer stats ect...
Now really go brush your teeth.

Heres another suggestion, customisable paint on planes with a brush tool, i mean not historical but itl atract a lot of artists.

Guys this thread is here to give suggestions to the devs none of us want to hear you argue and say rude comments. Stay on topic and do not repeat suggestions.

Thanks

A seperate volume control for "in-game" music and "menu" music.

I love the music and would like to hear while navigating the menus, setting up matches, etc. But when I'm flying I just like to concentrate on the sounds of the aircraft, guns, etc.

Thats a small detail, but important and easily changeable; I agree 100%! Even simpler would be the music volume just affect mission music, which is what I assumed i did before going back to the menus and thinking "hey wheres that great score?"


Another small detail, but important and easily changeable: no automatic mission cut-off after the objectives are completed! I love red skies over dover, but normally after the Stukas I like to dogfight the 109s and try to land, almost every time I get cut off on my final approach ITS TRES ANNOYING!

Really its a small tweak, but the final version of BoP would be way better if its left up to the player to end the mission. Player control=good; game control=bad.

As for big things I would like but probably won't get: having the option to take-off on every mission, get into formation and fly to objectives, then land after the mission is over would really majorly improve the immersion factor and I (+many others) would be overjoyed to have it. Please?

Arena Mode
8 players(human) engage the AI on one huge map which contains 2 friendly air fields, and one carrier surrounded by an escort fleet. Enemy AI are on regular patrol routes at various altitudes. Enemy has 2 airfields defended by anti air cannons which the buildings and the air defenses can be destroyed.

Objective of Arena Mode is for friends to take off from the main airfield and rid the skies of all Germans, and destroy all the enemy bases. Players are limited by fuel, and ammo so cooperation among teamates is critical to survive, in order to refuel and rearm, players simply land at a friendly base and re-up, then take off and get back into the fight.

Simulation Control Scheme OPTION
RS-looking around
LS-Pitch/Roll
LB-Throttle Down
RB-Throttle Up
RT-Yaw Right
LT-Yaw Left
A-Guns
B-Bombs
X-Rockets
Y-Zoom
Dpad Left-Landing Gear Up/Down
Dpad Right-Map
Dpad Up-Command menu .......at which point UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT on the dpad will determine wingman commands
Dpad Down- Bail Out

I've decided this is a superior layout after having a play with my controller.

This is going to produce a lot of accidents Especially since there are a number of regularly used functions on the Dpad anyway. Apart from that good layout, I would like to see this as an option, because at the moment I'm playing with a similar layout on a 360 controller on the PC Il2, and I prefer it to the current layout.

While I don't completely agree with the layout to some extent, I do think that there needs to be a bit of an overhaul. I would say that for the bail button something like RB + LB ... don't forget that you can combine a lot of things... and don't forget about buttons like R3 and L3... some of the least used buttons on a controller.

stopped reading there

it would break the game

Hands on throttle and stick , the flight and combat controls need to be on the players hands at all times

That means moving the gun/bombs/to the face pad is taking the ability to shoot away from the stick


Here is the correct layout that will put gamepad players at the same level as joystick users.

Rstick-elevator/ailerons (switchable to left stick for southpaws)
Lstick-Throttle/rudder//// When activated will let players look around cockpit
Rstick click down-target camera(toggle, not hold down)
Lstick click down-cockpit lookaround (toggle or hold down *selectable in options" , this way the player can manuever the plane with the right stick while still having the ability to look around the cockpit during a dogfight with the left, downside is no throttle control when activated)

Right button-zoom (toggle)
Left button-trimming
Right trigger-Guns/cannons
Left trigger-Bombs/rockets

A button-switch targets//Hold to switch to objective
B button-Landing gear
X button-flaps
Y button- empty / new feature?


THATS HOW YOU DO THE CONTROLS [/B][/U]

What you talking about?
I think you should read the layout again, it works perfectly on il-2 '46.
It gives constant controll of all weapon and flight surfaces, left thumb controls pitch/roll, right tumb controls weapons and left/right finger controls rudder. You can look around with right thumb since you'll want to be looking ahead when shooting anyway and if you need to change throttle you only need to let go of the rudder for a moment or use another finger.
