heinkill Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Won't be able to try until later - is the magic red button enabled now? H
taffy2jeffmorgan Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Nothing yet,I'v been checking for most of the day Cheers. JM.
Emil_Junus Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I tried. It says "Activated" on HP profile but its not ingame yet. Think it will be unlocked during the day.
Feathered_IV Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Working now Zak says. Sorry, that sounded a bit like yoda. 1
Emil_Junus Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Working now Zak says. Sorry, that sounded a bit like yoda. Still not working for me.
Rivet Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Activated in profile but still locked up in game.
beepee Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Activated in profile but still locked up in game. Yeah same here. Do we need to do anything on the game side?
Emil_Junus Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Yeah same here. Do we need to do anything on the game side? I think we have to be patient
Feathered_IV Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Hmm, I don't think so. Aren't we supposed to panic and loose all self restraint? 1
Zak Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 We're in case anything goes wrong. Checking it now.
beepee Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Hmm, I don't think so. Aren't we supposed to panic and loose all self restraint? AIEEEEEEE!!! *Runs around flapping arms trying to take off* 1
RedGuard Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 The red button works. All locked features now unlocked in game. I had to sign in on the official site twice. 1st to click the red button, sign out Sign in 2nd time and it says "activated". Finally logged into the game, all there, but no time to fly. Thx Devs for this. It was about time. With a real "sexy" and engaging campaign, you could very well have a winner. Cheers, Red 1
Emil_Junus Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 We're in case anything goes wrong. Checking it now. I'm sure Murphy is the guilty one.
beepee Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I'm sure Murphy is the guilty one. That guy...he's everywhere these days eh?
Zak Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 If the magic unlock button is not working for you, please, tell us about it via a ticket to customer support: https://il2sturmovik.com/support/request/
1./JG42Nephris Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Just out of interests for some fellas... There are rumors, that the unlock button is available or functional for premium users only. Is that correct? If yes, what is the reason? (Just in case I will have to explain that to some in our TS)
beepee Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Just out of interests for some fellas... There are rumors, that the unlock button is available or functional for premium users only. Is that correct? If yes, what is the reason? (Just in case I will have to explain that to some in our TS) Correct. The reason being that premium users paid $40 more for the game. Owners of Premium accounts will be able activate all modifications without unlocking them in Campaign mode. You have a Premium account if you bought Premium edition, or Standard edition plus both additional planes: La-5 and Fw 190 A-3. Activating modifications cannot be reverted so you must make a considerate and thoughtful decision before you click the button. Note that this button doesn’t activate unlockable plane skins which remain obtainable through the Campaign. So, in my understanding, you can upgrade your standard game by paying for the extra 2 planes(La-5 & FW190 A-3), and you will then get all mods without having to grind for the unlocks.

oneeyeddog Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Be aware that the unlocked mods do not appear on the progress bars that you see under each AC in your Profile Tab, accessed via the hanger screen. They are however unlocked in the Campaign.
1./JG42Nephris Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/14433-developer-diary-part-87-discussion/ Cheers Dakpilot Thx. However I would like to know the reason behind it, as I will be the one who got to explain to our squad m8 with the default edition, why they cant activate the mods. It is not about positive or negative or critiics, I just would like to know the idea behind it, why prem are allowed to and standarts not.
dburne Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Thx.

It is not about positive or negative or critiics, I just would like to know the idea behind it, why prem are allowed to and standarts not. They did not state a reason. If I had to guess, I would imagine that there was probably some on the team that wanted to go ahead and do away with unlocks for all, and some that wanted to not do away with any unlocks at all. Sounds like this may have been a compromise, by giving it to Premium Members only, and not the Standard Members, and also leaving the skins locked for all, and giving the Premium a choice as to whether they remove unlocks via clicking a button. Again just conjecture on my part... Personally I think they would have been even better if they had removed them for all ( with exception of cheap Russian version), including the skins. At least it is a start.
Jupp Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 ~S~ Heinkill, To answer your question, yes. The U-Day Unlocks are working as intended. It did take awhile here for the medicine to take, however, so be patient with it. Happy trails.

At least it is a start. Oh dear hope your wrong... If not that would be again half baked. How shall I most of my squad m8s reasonably explain why I got all unlock, and why they shall waste time to unlock stuff. Noone will buy the standard version, and I guess most of them neither the premium anymore. Well small steps....we will see how things will go on. Stupid unlock idea at all from the point it was initiated by who ever....
voncrapenhauser Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) I have all ready unlocked everything so far a few days ago. Do I have to press or is the button redundant for me now lol? Edited February 9, 2015 by voncrapenhauser
ST_ami7b5 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I have all ready unlocked everything so far a few days ago. Do I have to press or is the button redundant for me now? The same here. I will save the button for possible use with new planes in future - if unlocks will stay with next update/theater/new planes...
beepee Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) why prem are allowed to and standarts not. Like I posted above. Because Premium account holders payed $40 more for the game. Once again. If you want the same benefits, pay $40 for the La-5 and FW 190 A-3 and upgrade your Standard game to Premium. Edited February 9, 2015 by beepee
senseispcc Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 The planes modifications have been unlocked but the skins not!
voncrapenhauser Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 The same here. I will save the button for possible use with new planes in future - if unlocks will stay with next update/theater/new planes... Great Idea
jeanba Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Just out of interests for some fellas... There are rumors, that the unlock button is available or functional for premium users only. Is that correct? If yes, what is the reason? (Just in case I will have to explain that to some in our TS) Because 777 cannot draw more money from Premium user. But other users can still buy something else, so they found some kind of incentive.
Brano Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Because 777 cannot draw more money from Premium user. But other users can still buy something else, so they found some kind of incentive. I am Premium user.They can still draw more money from me.I can buy another copy.I am ready to buy next planes/scenario DLC.Where is the point? 1
Jade_Monkey Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 The planes modifications have been unlocked but the skins not! That's correct. They already explained that onle the modifications would be unlocked. Those are the game changers, if you want the skins you still have to get them through campaign. Or you can make your own with the skin tools they released a while back.
J2_Trupobaw Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) They did not state a reason. If I had to guess, I would imagine that there was probably some on the team that wanted to go ahead and do away with unlocks for all, and some that wanted to not do away with any unlocks at all. *Possibly* it's because the premium users already have all content in the game that can be unlocked... so no problem of unlocking 8 planes then worrying what will happen if you buy the 9th one. Edited February 9, 2015 by Trupobaw
zippyPerrserker Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Hi at work and wondering about time compression - if someone who has activated the unlocks wouldn't mind letting us know, can you go above 2x time compression in the campaign now? Really hoping you can
Trident_109 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Because 777 cannot draw more money from Premium user. But other users can still buy something else, so they found some kind of incentive. I think the good will afforded by making unlocks available to standard users would be a better incentive to buy products than to, in effect, extort extra monies to achieve a goal every customer wants - unlocks. I'd guess more people would be offended than be happy to put another forty dollars down. Some may not be able to afford it at this time. I know $40.00 would be a bit much to spend with all my other financial responsibilities. But I might cough up twenty in appreciation of unlocks.
heinkill Posted February 9, 2015 Author Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) Meanwhile...back on topic... The magic red button worked for me (logged out, logged in again about five minutes later) - all the unlocks are...unlocked BUT In the campaign my pilot has been reset to Level 1. All medals and campaign achievements are still there, just the pilot level has changed. I've never seen it confirmed by a dev that this has any real effect on the campaign but people seem to insist it does. I just played a 'level one' mission in the last chapter and there was plenty of action, so I can't say I could see any difference. If that is the sort of thing that annoys you though...

GOAT-ACEOFACES Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I find WD40 works best on sticky locks! 1
