Anyone else has experienced it?? Yeah I had this before the patch as well. I was setting up my sights while the plane was starting up and it just started jerking violently. Only in view and automatic mode though. Still, really annoying. Restarted the game and issue was gone as far as I know

I am still trying to clarify that this is related to TrackIR as a "feedback". The release notes mentioned ffb and trackir and I would like to experiment with a bit of a stutter issue related to trackir and want to know I am adding viable lines. "Users who encountered stutters using Microsoft Force Feedback joysticks and TrackIR now have an option to tune FFB effect polling frequency using the additional setting in startup.cfg file" Could a Dev.

Voidhunger Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 More I fly I really like the new patch. Need to start carrer again with those changes. Changes to the AI are visible and after many qmb mission i like the new dm model. only "drawback" for me are the AI gunners now.
mb339pan Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 a quick test in QM: after new patch: mk108 vs lagg3: an average of 3 shots to take down the aircraft controlled by the ia mk108 vs P40: an average of 3 shots to take down the aircraft controlled by the ia 37mm AP ammo vs P40 an average of 3/4 shots to take down the aircraft controlled by the ia G14 mw50 not fixed after months A8 overheat not fixed after months ?

D3adCZE Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 Hello gentlemen, after updating to latest patch, I am getting: no connection to master server quote and if I try to play offline, the game asks me to update. Any ideas how to fix this please?
T6-ADStukadriver Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 Yes...me, too...no connection to on line log in...same message...lost connection to master server...

SCG_klobuk Posted December 9, 2018 Posted December 9, 2018 Almost everybody is talking about better damage model (what I think is actually true), but it is worthless if planes don't behave regarding to damage taken. Damaged planes are dogfighting and high G maneuvering like without damage. I think it really has to be fixed if we want to use this new damage model.. Otherwise we can just put a health bar over each aircraft and travel back in time 15 years... Sorry for this post but I'm pretty frustrated after 2 days of flying with this new patch where cheesy russians are outmaneuvering me in high G turns ... 1 2

Sorry for this post but I'm pretty frustrated after 2 days of flying with this new patch where cheesy russians are outmaneuvering me in high G turns ... True, was trying DF in QMB against Yak 1b, this thing was eating almost all of my G4s ammo, not giving a crap aabout the 20mm cannon and still turning and fighting like a young gazelle. When previous DM sometimes felt like throwing cannonballs (30mm against P47) on paperplanes, the new is kind of the opposite when a Yak 1b becomes a Il2 1

Well, I'm not sure what you observed, but what I can say or confirm is, that damage do actually influence the behavior of your plane - it is not that maneuverable as before getting hits. And as one of those cheesy Russian pilots, I can tell you that inflicted damage does change the flight behavior and you're not able to do what you can when your plane is not damaged. Btw. I do - on the other hand - observer very often, that if someone is complaining about damage model, flight behavior or weapons strength, they very often come from the German "Hanswurst" fraction!

Lusekofte Posted December 9, 2018 Posted December 9, 2018 Can the damage model be different on ai vs human pilot. I often fly IL 2 ,and I often get shot down at first pass. Referring to online event fnbf before patch.

It is a small problem and I see how easily it gets buried under the discussion of wings falling off / being glued on and 30mm killing everything / killing nothing. All servers would benefit and therefore players too if mission builders would have these simple objects in use. I see the surface you are trying to position the boxes has a slope. Have you also tried to have the boxes positioned on a fully flat surface. Does it work better then? Have you tried on the water ? Edited December 9, 2018 by IckyATLAS

I just lately found that note, was very happy to know the devs had worked on it (many players complain about that quite huge prob) and even if most of my own problems are more or less gone now, I wanted to try that new setting possibility. So I opened that startup.cfg file to find that it was set to 10.000000 yet... ? I don't understand. Could someone enlighten us plz ?
Ouky1991 Posted December 9, 2018 Posted December 9, 2018 I thought I can get over this "improved" DM, but It's just so frustrating. Every day I hate it even more. mk 108 shouldn't be this weak. Please give us an option to go back to original DM atleast in single player. 1

I don't want to argue with you because it won't lead anywhere.... I can tell you just (like you can see in multiple charts here on forum) that in reality maneuverability of damaged aircraft was dramatically affected.. Not just "it is not that maneuverable as before getting hits." ? Yak-1b or La-5 can maneuver with me in high G maneuvers and keep speed also after several 8mm and 20mm hits!!! This is simply ridiculous and I'm not the only one who can see this... On that part that you see always complaining Axis players... Well... Axis have mostly fighters that are good at energy fighting.. In reality if pilot damaged enemy's aircraft after first BnZ it was after that an easy pray... with this patch I see cheesy aircrafts smoking like on aviation day but they can perform high G maneuvers and keep top speed without any problems... So if you are unlucky and didn't finished that guy on your first pass you don't have to bother to chase him bacause he will outmaneuver you for sure... As I said before.. I'm perfectly OK with new damage model but damaged aircraft characteristics have to be corrected as well as 30 mils.. but I think you disagree also with that ? 1

This would be very nice if implemented, I returned from a sortie in TAW in a 109 full of holes, wind noise thru the holes in the windshield too, but plane was performing normally. At least now you can get holes and return to base, so DM is moving in the right direction, hope next step is having some penalty in the flight model when your plane structure is full of holes and damaged. In the past this was not a concern, wing came off so plane went down. 1

They are intented to be used on top of port objects (piers) and that limits their use considerably. Even experienced mission builders way more familiar with the editor than me have not found way around this, so hopefully devs get so annoyed with me that they give us opportunity to use them also on the ground. 1
E69_julian57 Posted December 9, 2018 Posted December 9, 2018 Dear developers, thank you for the improvements in the simulator update. I will not talk about the damage model. But I must say that in the model of bf109 k4 has an error in the placement of the antenna, would have to be closer to the cockpit or place an antenna that also carried and that would also serve to simulate the G-10. I know that you will have other priorities, I hope that in the future it will be fixed. Thanks for your great work regards

This is correct. They are raised because they are meant to be shown on top of the ports which are not solid objects, so they just float at the height you would see the ports. Maybe they can just make a copy of it and remove the height limitations so we can use both. 1

I agree. I tried hard in the editor, but no way. Hope the devs will correct this one day. Anyway the complete library is way smaller than the one that came with the former IL2 editor. 1

If they are overperforming in-game then I agree they should be fixed, I just don't have enough experience with them up high to make a judgment on this though. One thing that does need to be worked on is the DM for all engines and especially radials.

I want to run few tests in upcoming weeks because I am really bugged about that LA5FN sticking with my K4 at 11.5km altitude. Hopefully this will show us the answer So far I have read that LA5FN and A3 are hugely overperforming at high alts.

SAS_Storebror Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 On 12/7/2018 at 10:23 PM, coconut said: I'm also disappointed that the old behaviour of retriggering a timer has changed. In the past, triggering a non-deactivated timer would always (re)start it. I used this to implement non-trivial conditions such as "Spawn AI patrol when enemy close, then repeatedly try to despawn it after 1 min unless there is still an enemy nearby". It would not be too hard to change it to use the new timer reset mechanism, but it does not work. Old trick no longer works, new mechanism doesn't work yet. I'll figure something out, but it will make the logic even more complex than it was. Can't stress enough how important this part is. The fact that triggering a non-deactivated timer doesn't (re)start it anymore is a complete show stopper. At the moment, it renders all missions on our FAC gameserver broken. I'm not ready to check and touch hundreds of timers on the missions to work around this bug, especially not without knowing what further changes to this issue there will be. I definitely vote for a quick hotfix that restores the old functionality at least. Really, really, really...: This is a showstopper bug. Mike
