I had the same problem with my squadmate. Try binding machine guns AND cannons AND all guns to same button, had no problems after that move.
Crious Posted December 26, 2024 Posted December 26, 2024 ok with the guns but what about with statistics?
long-nez Posted December 29, 2024 Posted December 29, 2024 I can no longer connect to the Finnish... server, the startup opens, hangs on a black screen, then begins to download and immediately returns to the Steam BOS page. An admin tried to help me by asking me to delete files in the folder below and close everything and restart. I noticed that when i open "Finnish...", the files are reinstalled in real time but the connection problem persists. Does anyone have a solution to offer me? Wishing you a happy end of year and a happy New Year. "right click that msnbin file, "Open containing folder" ... assuming it takes you to <game_folder>/data/Multiplayer/moscowwb -> delete the contents there"
Crious Posted December 30, 2024 Posted December 30, 2024 Hi, in current mission information there isn't time left and target status. Could be fix?
Blackswan Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Can I get a updated discord server link please. It says expired.
JG4_Moltke1871 Posted January 14 Posted January 14 A question for the mission creators: is it possible to fly under the radar?

VBF-12_Stick-95 Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Never encountered this before. On a sortie I sank a ship and shot down a bomber. I took a few hits but nothing serious. I was on final, flaps deployed, landing gear down when the mission ended. When the stats came up it says I was shot down. Everything was good with the aircraft. Even if the engine died at that moment, I had enough altitude and speed to easily dead stick it in. Here's the sortie page link: https://stats.virtualpilots.fi/en/sortie/4051327/?tour=84. Is this a known bug?
beresford Posted February 8 Posted February 8 There is an annoying bug which often occurs whereby APHE tank ammo is ineffective (even against trucks). Is this a server thing or a general thing? On 7/18/2024 at 5:12 PM, GasTeddy said: To Temuri (Quote 3): Exactly. That's what I did. At the end, zero points because of friendly fire. No any "GasTeddy fires friendly"-warning, just zero points and hand holding dagger with text "friendly fire", when finished the missions. The maps aren't designed for tanks (except Prochorovka) and the collision detection is poor. I think what is happening is that you are firing HE and it is prematurely detonating because of an adjacent hit box you can't see, thereby 'hitting' yourself (therefore 'friendly fire'). Remember it is software, not reality, and it uses hit boxes, not the graphics you see, to decide whether a target is hit or not.
GasTeddy Posted February 12 Posted February 12 Server seems to be down from yesterday. Does not download.
LLv34_Temuri Posted February 12 Posted February 12 Server is up again. Stats are currently not being parsed.

Crious Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Unfortunatly last month something weird is happening. If end of mission find you on air and you have taken the smallest damage then your result is ditced. You realize our frustration when we have above 4000 points on our credit and we ended up with less than half of that (apart from the lost of time)

This month Axis is listed as winning a map they obviously didn't win. The whole server is jank, and has been ripping players off from points ever since day 1. TBH I only play there because there's at least an "attempt" at making a dynamic campaign that includes tanks. I'm not really a tank driver but, sometimes our squad members can only play tanks due to real life requiring them to park the tank and get up from the computer from time-to-time. Other than that, I don't trust or believe any after-mission stats coming from this server.
Crious Posted February 23 Posted February 23 It is what it is. If server's developers could fix some problems ok. If not thats ok with me. After all its the same for everyone.
LLv34_Untamo Posted February 23 Author Posted February 23 S! Yes, the server has been very moody since we upgraded the server from W10 -> W11. Don't know if it's that, or some geopolitical shenanigans and the connection to the master server, but these "unstable periods" have happened before. There's also the known bug that affects the map change, and sometimes the victory is registered to the winning side, sometimes not because of it. And yes, of course there's the OBVIOUS bias which we have incorporated in the code... We just don't know to which side the bias is tilted, since we regularly get accused from both sides 🤷♂️ But, I also must come clean: My personal will and motivation to put any effort towards this sim has faded, both due to aforementioned geopolitical reasons, and due to the announcement of Korea, which basically was the obituary for IL-2 GB. We will keep the server running, keep kicking it up when it falls down, but any updates to the campaign app won't be likely. I have turned my attention into other projects, which also are in the IL-2 world, but maybe more on those later when they're a bit more mature... 4
GasTeddy Posted February 24 Posted February 24 ^ Understandable decision, as you have very little power to influence, what comes to certain "qualifications" of the main server. Nowadays, even with Tiger it is difficult to get proper shooting distance, before miracle AI cuts both tracks with one shot through trees and buildings, or several times bouncing and ricocheting shot kills the main gun and/or commander. That's not attractive.

So at that rate do you think Normandy map will be part of the lineup? I would understand the reluctance but you may be more inclined to include the Finnish map once completed.

I would understand the reluctance but you may be more inclined to include the Finnish map once completed. New map might help a bit, but most of panzer drivers are just simply fed up with red miracle guns, which shoot without visual, through buildings and thick forests and despite shell bouncing several times from ground, still hitting and killing panzers with ease. If those total arcade wonder weapons are removed, it would certainly have positive effect. Unfortunately, that's main server issue and admins in there are not willing to do that.
Chaintong Posted March 3 Posted March 3 Yes I agree but tanks have always taken a back seat with IL2 devs primary has always been aircraft. Shame as Tank crew has so much potential. Would be great to see it sold on and given some love. Fortunate for tanks to be included in the Finnish server for some non arcade type gameplay with a bit more realism both for tankers and ground attack aircraft

=Abutres=Mutley1 Posted March 21 Posted March 21 (edited) Hi, how did I die 20 minutes after landing and the mission ended?

LLv34_Untamo Posted April 1 Author Posted April 1 S! We now have an IL-2 1946 server open: And no, this is NOT an April Fool's joke 😄
GasTeddy Posted April 5 Posted April 5 I would like to know, how in this sortie I've managed to destroy friendly Pzkw V ? I got Friendly Fire penalty, even I was alone in enemy base and my Panther had 0% damage.
VBF-12_Stick-95 Posted May 27 Posted May 27 @LLv34_Untamo Now that Odessa is in early release, any plans of incorporating either Odessa or Leningrad map into the server? My apology if this has been answered before.

69th_Mobile_BBQ Posted June 1 Posted June 1 Looking forward to I-153, Lagg-3 (early) and La5-F (middle model) being added to the plane set list!
LLv34_Temuri Posted August 4 Posted August 4 (edited) New rotating planeset should be effective after next mission rotation. This planeset takes roughly a "Planes by DLC" type of approach. You can currently see the JSON definition of each set from stats.virtualpilots.fi/static/rps.json, where "index" is "set number-1" (so "index": 0 means set 1). Need to look into a nice way to generate the RPS image from the JSON. If you know a good way, let me know. Added I-153, La-5Fs38 and LaGG-3 s4 Added engine mods to P-39 and Bf 109 G-2. "index": 0 "index": 0 Edited August 4 by LLv34_Temuri Missing info 1
JG1_Wittmann Posted August 4 Posted August 4 In case you had a need to get the list in an excel file, here you go. Add colors etc as wanted Planes Full Set Text List.zip
JG1_Wittmann Posted August 5 Posted August 5 I looked the list over and see a drop off of many aircraft in game. There are players that maybe don't have all of the DLC so including some in there might be nice. Several planes that used to be available for most sets have been curtailed to less than half the sets, sometimes 3 sets. The removal of all the planes is going to be a sore spot with many. I was surprised to not see the duck in game, I looked over the list, it's only available for 3 out of 15 planesets. Duck Disappears when all of the Russian Aircraft go missing . In addition to the lack of many planes, imagine if you will the irony of playing a campaign on the Moscow Map, and there are no Russian Planes to be flown, except for the Li2 for paras or supply ? Now that is lunacy. There are many that will wonder at the lack of Russian AC after Set 8, they all disappear. Now I don't fly the allied side but If I did and I might not be happy at the lack of Russian Aircraft in game, to be all replaced by western allies aircraft. You know, the war in the East did not end when Normandy landings happened. There was still almost a year of hard combat in the east that got the victory over the German Army, that's where the vast majority of German soldiers died, not the western front. Please put back several Aircraft, give the Russians their IL2's and all of the Yak Fighters they like, and the PE2 is a good attacker as well. 1 1
