71st_AH_Mastiff Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 Good point here. However, the prop hanging was present also in the old IL2, and it was related to the manual prop pitch "cheat". it wasn't a cheat it was a feature

=FI=Blue2 Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 Yet another fascinating update - thank you AnPetrovich. Your hard and persistent work is truly appreciated! Hey Boris, you've reached the perfect number of posts for this forum, with your 777!
Asgar Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 awesome work guys. nice update. looking forward to seeing these changes implemented and the new planes of course
Matt Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 These dev diary updates just keep getting more and more interesting. Can't wait for next thursday.

Voidhunger Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 Great update, thanks. but this is little confusing: Lots of minor improvements which appeared in the Yak-1 serial production all together significantly improved its fighting qualities. We hope that as soon as our beta-testing is finished, all the pilots who have already pre-ordered "Battle of Kuban" will come to see that. I thought that Yak-1b is for BOS/BOM/BOK and not only for BOK. Anyway after payday this month I will be BOK owner too finally.

JtD Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 Very interesting to read this, thank you for the DD. When you test the Yak, can you please check speed performance at altitudes of 6km and higher? 3
dancinbare Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 Thanks for the great read... it will be fun to line up for a gun shot with the rudder with out rolling on my back. This sim is fun!
VBF-12_Snake9 Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 I normally don't care to comment on dds, but this guy needs a PR job. It was one of the best informative dds in years. If you could feel honesty, I felt it.

Neil Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 These dev diary updates just keep getting more and more interesting. Can't wait for next thursday. That is exactly what I believe! Thank you so much for all those regular juicy update, really it is delightful to read those each time. And... it gets better and better! Fantastic!
=WH=PangolinWranglin Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 Maybe I misinterpreted this but is the Yak 1B being released before the Ju52? Or will it just be complete before the Ju52 and they will be released in a pair at the same time?
3./JG15_Kampf Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 Another interesting subject we touched during last week was an additional investigation of the MiG-3 behavior on its landing gear. The work has been initiated after a heated debate in the Russian-speaking community about the safe landing complexity of the MiG-3, especially in the crosswind conditions.Nevertheless, we decided to double-check the landing gear model of MiG-3 again and try to tune the settings (outside of those unknown to us) that could improve stability and control of the aircraft when moving on the ground. the forum in English language, also to a heated discussion on the fw190 (many exaggerated and therefore blocked) ...... fw190 is ok ..... only feelings To simplify the airframe and speed production, it was decided to abandon the rudder trim and aileron trim. Instead of the trims, adjustment plates were installed. The aircraft became a little lighter and its pressurization was improved. The shape of intake collector was changed. The exhaust pipes were covered by additional plates and the tail landing gear could now be raised in flight. All these changes reduced the aerodynamic drag of the aircraft and increased its top speed by 15-20 kmh. However, the climb rate and the turn time remained almost the same. yak 1b will be fast 2

If is difficult for a good red pilot to land the mig it must be reviewed but If all 190 expert pilots report that is imposible to manouver at hight speed are only feelings not arguments... Lets see the conclusion about the 109. Maybe we will have also nerfed that plane. 9

People aren't called luftwhiners for pointing out possible flaws in FMs (which is perfectly reasonable - count me amongst the people who think, that the devs still haven't quite nailed it with the Fw 190) They are called luftwhiners for suggesting, that there is some kind of bias on behalf of the devs to mave every German aircraft underperform and the Soviet aircraft overperform, which is what you just did. 3

This is your interpretation as for the banning (really boring) of the moderators. "Luftwhiners", me included, are first of all supporters of this great sim and of this really talented team since the first day of RoF in 2009, just to make it clear. I prefer to be banned for my opinions rather than to be one of the pathetic fanboys we see on this forum. If they think that banning people is the good way to do....good for them. Enjoy your fanboys carnival, because it will help you for sure. The "Lutfwhiners" party complains first of all because they still believe that this new IL2 is the best sim ever, me included, but something has changed with the last updates....or at least this is what a lot of us feel, and this is not a reason for banning people. We are just a bit worried about some "possible" balancing decision that could have been taken inside the team, but we all believe in this team, and in the future of this serie. Not conspiracy, just a balancing decision that is a reasonable way to go in the business of Entertainment Software. Sure.....what geramos says sounds really like a touchè. Instead of call people "Luftwhiners", banning them or answer "just emotions", try to give us some more explanations about FW-190 for ex., or about 20mm, or wooden DM ecc. ecc.. Ok, the language could be a problem, but there is also an English community here, not just the Russian one with reasonable feelings. This is just a sincer feedback from a warned, banned supported from the first day. We'll see. Edited November 4, 2016 by 150GCT_Veltro 5
FlyingNutcase Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 The enthusiasm in Petrovich's DD is inspiring. It sure gives one confidence that the project is well staffed.
Amarok Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 Nice to read that the physics model of the Yak-1B series 127 should be revised. It would be also nice if also the physics model (FM) for the Bf109-F4/G2 and Fw190 would be also revised!

Lets see the conclusion about the 109. Maybe we will have also nerfed that plane. Fw190 was also rechecked and will likely be rechecked so please stop this assumption talk. Checking landing physics also is somewhat easier than an entire fm recheck. 1
Livai Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 Not until we get into 1944-45. Longer not Wings of Liberty played?
Max_Damage Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 I m glad they have finally confirmed me109 as a helicopter and will fix it.
FuriousMeow Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) It never ends. The German planes are never good enough regardless of what game it is. Maybe it isn't the planes that is the problem. Read entirely too much about the German Knights of WWII being unstoppable aces and thought that instantly applied without taking effort to learn the advantages of the aircraft over the others. "I read the 190 can boom and zoom and get away from anything!" Doesn't mean anything as it lacks every single bit of meaningful information such as altitude, speed, engagement, but it doesn't matter as it always turns into the inevitable that there is a bias against the German planes and it happens in every single WWII sim.

150GCT_Veltro Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 I m glad they have finally confirmed me109 as a helicopter and will fix it. Agree. We just need Fulcrum and Flanker now, we already have Alamo and Archers. Be patiente.
Asgar Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 i hope when they fix the 109 prop hanging (never seen it actually) they will also fix the Yak prop hanging which is an actual issue 5
SCG_Space_Ghost Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 -snip- Get good flying for both sides, then let's talk about the FMs and DMs. ye guys get guder
216th_Jordan Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 i hope when they fix the 109 prop hanging (never seen it actually) they will also fix the Yak prop hanging which is an actual issue I will try to do some tests this weekend but I actually felt that the ability of the 109 to keep flying in very low speed almost vertical flight was a bit over the top. I have no comparison in tests to yak for myself but the 109 always felt way more able to keep in a steep climb at low speed.
Danziger Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 TL;DR: Historical accuracy is great, but if the main reason that you care about it so much is because you think it means you should win a computer game all the time, you might be a Luftwhiner. Omg this should be a thing. "You might be a Luftwhiner if..." And for the other side we can have "Here's your star." Hahahaha! Then again people won't get it because probably nobody here knows redneck comedians from the 1990s. 2
