Daidalos Team's Room -QUESTIONS AND REQUESTS ONLY on IL2 Authorized Addons

The IL2 code leak is the best thing for all, because Oleg is so dedicated with all efforts concentrated on SOW.

So, don't think he is worried about the 10+ year old IL2 taking his SOW thunder.

Thats just a weak guess. Il-2 was/is a milestone in flightsim history. And it was Olegs very first flightsim and a huge success. I doubt, he would just abandon it in his mind. No, I think he likes, that we care for it - its like knowing his first child in good hands, while he is busy with the new one.

EDIT: sorry, I just recognised, that I misunderstood your last sentence. No, I don't think, he worries about this issue. Still there are the restrictions (i.e. no BoB content), but you will agree, these are slightly understandable.


As for myself - I'm not a modder. There isn't just modders and Oleg in this world. If you want so, every guy in Olegs team is a modder, as they as well model, program, invent. No, I call myself a 3rd party modeler, since I was doing this for Oleg, Ilya and others years before the game was hacked, paid and not paid.
So I (and some others as well) already had a good relationship with Oleg, that has nothing to do with the issue 'modding'.

About restrictions, that we might get from Oleg - these are the same as always before - bringing new content in the quality status, that is required by Oleg, no FM or DM changings on given content (yet), not touching the Grumman issue and leaving the work amount for Oleg as low as possible.

Sidenote about existing FM, DM, weapon changings: We are thinking about such issues as well. But we will discuss such with Oleg and if he doesn't agree, partially or generally - it will not happen.
For 4.09 there will be no such changings on existing 4.08 content.

Just a question. Do Daidalus plan to unlock ai for dogfight-servers and dedi just like zuti does with his MDF ( Moving Dog Fight ) Mod?

Surely some reworking to IL2 1946 will enpower 1c Team & D Team as far as their customer base goes, they will see its supported extremely well and has a long future rather than some of the one hit wonder sims of late, ongoing support for IL2 1946 should secure a large customer base for SoW also.



@ D Team

Thanks for taking time to look over the thread.

What limitations are there on you to "tidy up" IL2 1946, I know you said 1c didn't provide you any "tools" to finish v409m (assuming you are using Qtims tools) is this possibly due to Oleg not wanting you to adjust any FM or DM in v409m or is there future hope for corrections to aircraft FM & DM even ballistics.

Great to hear

Ok so v4.10m is on the horizon I hope Oleg agrees to correcting the existing problems, oh dont forget to fix the He111 ground handling too

I think that triggers represent the biggest improvement brought by TD 4.09.
Would they be implemented also in dynamic campaign generators? Could they be used to improve AI behavior? For example, orders like “Return to base immediately” are always ignored...

[Furio]

I would like to have a realistic numbering system.
Not only the present system, with orderly tactical numbers (1-2-3-4-5-6, etc.) is unrealistic but it’s confusing with radio calls. Sometimes, radio calls “red 1” and there are three or four of them around...

Daidalus Team...just a big thanks to all of you!!!

And instead? Which system do you have in mind then?

I see no problem with having several 'red 1's around... mission builders should take better care of this and prevent double using then.

I have a question : would it be possible to enable other planes than american planes to have nose arts on ? It would be fun if other nations could also put high quality nose arts on and not a low quality one through the plane's texture.

This would mean to rework every planes 3D model to add such a possibilty.
As it would not be historical correct, this huge work amount is far less worth the result.

Leaving aside for a moment radio-calls (which would need new voice recordings), numbers on planes taking off should not be sequential. Some examples:
Russian squadron: 1 – 39; 27 – 54.
RAF squadron: K – F; W – E.
In this way, if you’re flying a dynamic career, and aircraft 39 or F-Freddy get lost, some time should pass before they are replaced.
Talking of dynamic career, I would like to see them updated. Here in forums we have a high density of online flyers and custom mission builders, but many Il2 customers fly offline.
