4.12 development update discussion and feedback

[JtD]

It never had in real life, it always had in game. Now it doesn't any more, but uses an API instead.

Always suspected a hard limit set on on 3d modelling and texture size, and that's fine as long as we get consistent texture quality across a wide range of surfaces. And it doesn't have to be inefficient to look good. Just look a the cockpits of the I-185, Fw-190, Do-335, Tempest, Gladiator, etc. The I-185 pit in particular makes very clever use of textured 2D surfaces to depict what would otherwise be 3D objects. If only every plane in the game had that level of quality for it's cockpit...

Speaking of the I-185, it needs a key or button command to enable zooming in on the sights like all other panes in the sim. Though, on second thought, that might screw up the viewing angle of the "2D 3D objects" mentioned earlier. Hope not.

Shared kills... and scoring... can you guys set up varied scoring in Coops & DF s? Like for instance .. the option to record kills and points by individuals or teams.. or both? At the end of a mission you would see either pilot x 500, pilot z 400... or Red 900 Blue 600 (you could even break it down a decimal point for team points.. ) or some combination of the two..

Just wondering what happened to the G55 pit I thought it was quite close to completion

[Sita]

nice looking texture)

Good to see the P-38 cockpit repainted, thank you. I'm looking forward to the same treatment of the Bf 109F-4 and G-2 cockpits.

You know how I feel about my Curtiss Hawks...

Yes, I can imagine.

So, I have to ask, how does she fly? I know about it's "on paper" performance, but there is more to how any aircraft flies than it's ROC and VNE numbers. It should have a fairly high roll rate, but, pilots in the day that transitioned from the P 36 to the P 40 considered the P 36 to be superior except in top speed. It will be interesting to see how it works out.

New FM is not set yet. So if you have any reference about its FM, don't hesitate to share, because we maybe don't have it yet.

Great looking P-38 cockpit but just one thing. Shouldn't the stencile on the surface control lock read "FLIGHT CONTROL LOCK". Thanks. Keep up the excellent work.

I was looking at the 4.12 updates topic a moment ago and I suddenly noticed 1 fabulous thing - the 109 on the taxi video screen has a swastika on its tail! YEAH! Finally!
