ICDP Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 6 minutes ago, 56RAF_Roblex said: I have never been happy with the concept of purely random engine failures. It adds absolutely nothing except frustration. Imagine you have been waiting all week to join your squad in a major mission. You have just this 1 hour slot to enjoy yourself and 10 minutes into the sortie everyone is nicely formed and looking forward to reaching the target area. You have been watching your engine settings carefully to make sure nothing is getting hot or stressed then some virtual god decides to roll a dice and just kill your engine anyway and your evening is over and you will have to wait a week to try again through no fault of your own. It would make me want to smash my PC ? If you want to say my 'chances' of an engine failure will increase slightly every time I mistreat the engine and that is carried forward across all planes so in ten sorties time my engine decides to run rough and not develop full power then that I am OK with that. I am also OK with that engine subsequently blowing completely if I then decide to push on at full rpm instead of limping home. I don't like the idea of just random blowups unconnected to any event. The devs just need to add it as an option in realism settings. The server host can decide if it is on or off.

That is fair enough but I would never fly in any server that had random failures and if it pisses enough people off so they do the same then it becomes just another option nobody uses and a large waste of a developers precious time. Even if you assume that my refusal to fly with random failures is in the minority it might still be a big enough hit on server numbers for a server owner to decide not to use it.
7.GShAP/Silas Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 I've always thought it strange that IL-2 doesn't have the ability to configure system failures based on timers, chance, etc. in a similar way to a professional/military simulation terminal. Even just for your own training purposes in QMB. I thought you could do it in Jane's, but I can't remember.
danielprates Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) Insofar we have been flying planes that were pretty much reliable, so no malfunctions whatsoever didn't seem off. Now that the 262 is coming, it's going to feel off not to have them. Edited January 21, 2019 by danielprates 1 1
E4GLEyE Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 the thing I hope to see with the 262 is the compressor stall/surge... similar to the Viggen in DCS, if you pull too hard and the AOA goes through the ceiling that is no fun, and forces careful flight even if it comes to evading/dogfighting. Other than that,I cant wait to get into the 262 its a dream plane like the m6nX zero that I want to see in a sim like Il2 GB 1
Diggun Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 I hope we get an in depth look at the Lysander's wheel braking system this week... 2

Now that the 262 is coming, it's going to feel off not to have them. Malfunctions I am OK with so long as they are caused by bad handling rather than just random. If anyone models a Typhoon and has it catch fire on startup if not done exactly right then I will be OK with flying it. In the case of the Typhoon you would also need to model people standing by with extinguishers or some alternative as they did not just let them burn. Did that happen with 262s as well or did the ground crew just hide behind a wall? ? 2
Diggun Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 What is the smart money on then? DD this week, red shoes next week? I'd like a look in the 262's cockpit...

Diggun Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Huh, my very Midlands gran would say 'all fur coat and no knickers'. To be fair, I imagine fur coats will get you through times of no knickers better than knickers will get you through times of no fur coat....
DD_Arthur Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 But no knickers might increase the possibility of eventually owning a fur coat? 1 1

SJ_Butcher Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 I lost hope in DD, not launching in a month means that they reintegrated at half of the month and there's nothing to report....February could be we start see something.
