Developer Diary, Part 131 - Discussion

[AndyJWest]

Excellent work on the shock absorbers. Looking forward to seeing them in action, along with the improved AI. 

[Jason_Williams]

The AI optimization has a ways to go. Please don't expect that real soon.

Hi guys great dev diary. Much appreciated.

 

Perhaps I have missed this- any news/eta on this as per DD120: 9. Correct 'jumpy' behavior of Bf 109 F4, G2 and F2 to resemble E7 behavior and check other planes;

[ST_ami7b5]

So far so good.

 

And now the question:
when the new map will be announced?

 

It will be a very important moment for the BoS/BoM/BosX future IMHO...

[Ace_Pilto]

When are we going to get a 3D model of Han with his Tallhöffer in game? He could run up and Mordhau pilots who still insist on breaking their aircraft now that the tyre pressure/strut rebound has been toned down.

[Danziger]

So far so good.

 

And now the question:

when the new map will be announced?

It's already been announced that an announcement will be made next week.

[Jade_Monkey]

So far so good.

They already said it will be announced next week, including a Q&A session on TS.

 

 

Very happy to hear about the AI improvements and also the jumpyness of the landing gear.

Although the quote is very generic, and it could mean anything, doesnt it have a mediterranean/NA flavor?

 

 

we're systematically collecting historical and engineering data on new aircraft, ground vehicles and the landscape

its your joystick read the hardware controller section..nobody that has fixed there issues with the joystick is complaining, to much about it.

So far so good.

if keep your eyes open it was announced in another thread next Friday.

[Jizzo]

Absolutly fantastic, your hard work is very much appreciated!

Good to hear the updates continue.

 

Great work.

Thanks a lot!!

[DD_Arthur]

Excellent news and just what we need for the upcoming carrier ops ;-)

 

Lol.  Nice idea!    Nice update too!

[Ace_Pilto]

Could someone please explain to me, in very small words, what a fineness ratio is?

[WWChunk]

Just for verification, are items 1-79 going to be included in 2.004, or have those items already been implemented?

[Sokol1]

This "fineness" was  translation issue, was mentioned and explained in one of previous DD (120?)

honestly speaking, the Bf-109 can not operate with more than 10 knots (5.14 m/s) of crosswind, Bf-109 was designed for take-off and landing against the wind only, using rounded airfield.

If anybody try land a Bf-109, with 10 m/s (36 km/h) of crosswind, like the video of new v.2.004, the accident is guaranteed

The FM is not real in this aspect, in the 2.004 video.

 

This is a real croswind landing in a Bf-109 G4

Doesn't it depend on exact angle of headwind?

[Matt]

So basically half of the German Luftwaffe was grounded during side-windy days. I kind of doubt that.

[Urra]

Can't wait to see the five year plan.

[LLv34_Flanker]

S!

 

Looks promising. The "thing on a spring" shock absorbers needed to go. Nice update.

[HippyDruid]

Great update! You lads certainly have been busy. 

[II/JG17_HerrMurf]

Thanks for the update Han. Excellent work on the landing gear, though, I haven't complained about it since EA. Will be fun nailing more landings now that I've practiced for so long with the bouncy FM/LandingM.

 

Also thanks for the improvements update. It's good to see minor and major improvements are continuously being attended to even as you ramp up for the next major announcement/release.

 

Thanks again,

Anyway if anyone is interested, is in DD120 discussion - some users explain the meaning of "fineness ratio":

As you see on video - it was hard landing. Can't say that it meets safety requirements.

Limit which you're pointing is related to safety.

 

Plus it's near to impossible to taxi with such wind.

 

So, this aspect is ultimately realistic now

[216th_Peterla]

Excelente Han!

[Trinkof]

Fantastic news ! Thanks !

I guess you mixed WW1 and WW2    

 

Tip: Read Steinhoff´s biography. 

[JG300_Olrik]

Nice work as usual.

[CUJO_1970]

Thanks for reminding us about the "fineness" being adjusted for FW-190. As if we had forgotten about it and haven't been dealing with it for the last several months.

 

This latest review I will take it as your tacit approval of current FW-190 FM and confirm what many of us suspect: there will be no change to FW-190 FM and there is nothing to look forward to on this front? Dissenting viewpoints are based on nothing but "feelings", yes?

[III/JG52_Otto_-I-]

It is an error, ..In a rounded field, you can taking off in all directions, there is no crosswind, ..never

 

 

I guess you mixed WW1 and WW2    

 

Tip: Read Steinhoff´s biography. 

See this wartime video minute 17:00 .. The Bf-109s are taking off in grass or sand fields, not in a runway like we are doing in this simulator

the IL-2 CloD airfields are more realistic than BoS airfields.  ..And you Know it .

look the big bouncing when touching down at 8:12 in this video. this is very impressive.

Great news,

i'm all for Flight models and engine management being as realistic as possible...

So we might as well start with taxiing, take offs and landings first! 

 

Keep up the good work.

[FlyingNutcase]

Nice to hear about the landing gear changes & work on AI optimization;  

 

And smoke/tracer/exhaust changes, very cool - it's little things like that that make it feel that we're in a "live" environment. Amazing attention to detail with the many small changes.

 

But Han: #58 & #76 about the canopy changes are the same:    

58. Cockpit canopy moves according to physics laws (it can close during dive on IL-2 or La-5 and LaGG-3, it may be impossible to open it at high speeds, etc.);

76. Cockpit canopy moves according to physics laws (it can close during dive on IL-2 or La-5 and LaGG-3, it may be impossible to open it at high speeds, etc.);

Impressive list of improvements: ground handling looks very real. 

 

Looking forwards to the North Africa announcement....  

[keeno]

Nice update,

 

the level of detail is fantastic.
