4.12 development update discussion and feedback

Observations on some of your requests:

3. Many, if not all, aircraft that had differential brakes already have them. Get differential brakes by swinging rudder.

5. The two aircraft you mentioned, the B-17 and P-47, only have the two stages they already have, one turbo and one internal. Maybe you're requesting more direct turbo control? That would, maybe, give slightly better economy but not more power, I wouldn't think.

8. Hydraulic system failure gear drop. The only possibility for this might be the very early P-51D which did not have a mechanical uplock originally but had them retrofitted*. Most hydraulically operated landing gear and flaps had mechanical uplocks so the hydraulic system could be placed in neutral between uses. *http://p51h.home.comcast.net/~p51h/sig/TO/01-60JE-9.pdf

Are any more planes going to be flyable for 4.12?

[~BeoWolf~]

Love the new FMB stuff, skins on static planes is huge.

One request I have made a few times and have never seen answered is would it be possible to have a gui button in the FMB when you are building your flight to select the "FORMATION STYLE" you want the flight to spawn in. Example, I have built some missions for DBS in the Pacific, SDB's spawn in finger four, they should be in eschelon so they can roll out of formation in order to attack the target, you have to change formation for this to happen. Yeah I know, they fall into trail before the last "Attack" waypoint, which looks terrible. Having that gui button in FMB would make it easier for mission builders to construct correct, and balanced formations for their missions. So instead of having every flight in a left finger four, flight 1 & 2 could be in Left finger four and flight 3&4 could be in right finger four the way it should be. BoB vics would be easier to build too.

I figure if I keep asking someone might finally give me an answer if it's possible and the likelihood of it actually being done.

Would be a great addition to your FMB tweaks you already have.

Cheers

Yes, come back soon for a development video which will reveal two more planes (not announced before) that made it flyable in 4.12.

Wow! Fighters or bombers?

As it's possible to change the colours of the interface, would it be possible to do this with the actual game colours too?

I know that profiles can be set up in Nvidia control panels and saturation tweaked, but it would be cool if there was maybe a switch that had 5-6 different settings so that we could have Sepia, Black and White, Saving Private Ryan washed out colours, Polarised colours and maybe a couple of UI choices for a quick way of changing colours?

Just asking, love the work, cheers, MP

I'll take a guess as to one of the possible new flyable planes for 4.12. My best guess is the Me-110G4 night fighter

I'm rather hoping for something French, it would fill a huge hole in the early war plane set.

The Imperial Japanese Army needs a flyable bomber/attack aircraft as well.

And the Finns were not the only country to take the Hawk 75 into combat.
