For creating accurate models of the Japanese planes the Dev team needs copies of original blueprints. Which are very hard to get. If not impossible. They also need someone who can read and translate these Japanese documents fluently. And last but not least aviation musea are not cooperative in welcoming flight sim developers to enter their WWII machines for making detailed pictures and measuring each and every part of the plane. Unless you pay them a considerable amount of money.

Unless you pay them a considerable amount of money. How about trying to make a deal with Hasegawa, Tamjya or even Trumpeter. They certainly have excellent source material regarding japanese planes and cockpit as all of my 1:32 models proof. Both genres could benefit from a cooperation anyway. Getting accurate Data for the FMs is another thing however...

I would think that most original blueprints were destroyed before the occupation of Japan.

Unless you pay them a considerable amount of money. that's the problem with the mindset of the museum curators in general. They don't understand how the world works and how to advertise their 'product', they think people will flock to old stuff without any kind of creative incentive. Take the Mc202 in Il2 for example. I walked by it numerous times in the Washington DC air&space museum, didn't even glance at it once, didn't even acknowledge its existence. But after discovering it in IL2, flying it, fighting in it, suddenly I find myself returning to the museum just take a better look at it over and over again, learn as much as possible about it, etc.. Without it being in Il2 i'd never ever ever even consider discovering it.

Now we have a kind of special connection, and I was able to bore my friend with many facts about it last time we visited.

And with good clouds too. The screenshots I posted above where made with my GTX 760. Settings High and Clouds Quality to High. And 120 fps? I can only dream of that. I reach at best 50 fps on Kuban.

It'd be like trying to write an orchestral masterpiece while limiting yourself to two or three notes. Well, happily I missed the FM. But I took Jason's comments to mean that there is a dearth of information about, for instance, instrument panels. Or did I misunderstand?

HandyNasty Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 Thursday is already 3/4 done and no-one has posted his speculations for tomorrow's potential DD? I am utterly amazed ... it seems 3.001 was so big, it killed this thread. RIP wild speculations and embarrassing confessions of secret hopes.

Herne Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 Bank holiday weekend for easter. Assume that's a global thing, so not expecting anything this week unfortunately.
sniperton Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 Two weeks have passed since the release, just enough time for the first hotfix IMO.
216th_Jordan Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 I suppose we'll not be hearing somerhing before next week or even the week after that, maybe a little hotfix next week on some issues. After such a release I'd think quite some people would take vacation and the team takes it slow before going full steam on any further developments.

sevenless Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 Enjoy the easter weekend boys and girls! The devs deserve some rest. I guess they will be back with a bang and nice stuff to marvel about in april. Get some career flydays in and purge those fashist aggressors from the skies of the motherland

They absolutely deserve it, but release day is not a good day to go on vacation. That would give me nightmares as a product manager! Maybe what they did was wait a couple of days, then noticed things were holding well enough, and took a break. That, or they are working like crazy and avoiding releases to spend more time on fixes. 1
SCG_Space_Ghost Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 (edited) I don't know about you guys but I can't wait to dip [edited] right in to the next hotfix. Edited March 29, 2018 by SYN_Haashashin
TexasWarbird Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 My multiplayer broke at the right time. I can rarely get into a server after the update. But luckily single player is great, I'm finding it very well made.

I was actually thinking that with such a complex release that we'd see a patch come within the day to fix some issue or another that was absolutely critical. Turns out there were none. A few glitches for some of us but we've sorted that out well enough for now. Impressive given the size and scale of the 3.001 patch. I'm sure the team is taking a bit of a breather (well deserved) and once they are ready they will start to unveil some new content on a semi-weekly basis. It's probably a lot of behind the scenes work and research that doesn't lend itself to a really interesting developer update but is needed to be done.
Danziger Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 It's too late for a DD today anyway. Already most of the day is gone.

=FEW=Hauggy Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 Ah thats why! Considering the Devs are usually the ones doing the DD and that they are in Russia, well you can expect one today (in the next 10 hours or so).
Wolferl_1791 Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) Orthodox Easter is next week's Sunday. Not sure how many devs are Russian. But, here's something to get you into the Motherland spirit. Edited March 30, 2018 by Wolferl_1791
=gRiJ=Roman- Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) The next DD with news about the IL2GBS future expansions will be epic. Really looking forward to this one .... But without a hotfix yet ... I guess we'll gotta wait a bit for new stuff to start rolling again. Edited March 30, 2018 by PA_Spartan-
Jade_Monkey Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 A patch with minor fixes makes sense. Here are two things i can think of right now: - Campaign objective complete shows up in French. - The MP server list sorting is not working. 1
