Ju87 Cockpit-improvements

[Sigma7]

Hey fellow flightsimmers,

 

i am new to the IL-2 Great Battles-series. I like it, awesome work so far! I like to play without the technochat, but it is a problem when it comes to the bombs safety switch-functionality in the Ju87. The corresponding switches in the cockpit don't move, thus you can not see if the safety switch is on or off. In Cliffs of Dover the switches in the cockpit work, why not here? Is there a chance, this will be fixed in the future?

 

Cheers,

Sigma7

No switch functionality with IL2 and no chance in the future.

That's not so - it's something that's been fixed in a number of other planes. I just made sure to make another note about it in the beta testing forums.

What planes?  Have been fixed and already released or for an upcoming release?  Thanks.

Huh? You've been able to arm / disarm bombs with a keyboard command for a long time now.

The planes that have the arming function animated in the cockpit include the P-39, P-40, P-47, P-38, P-51, and the MiG-3. I think the I-16 has it animated as well.  Not sure about any others at the moment.

wow nice! Thank you for your replies. That was really fast

A Stuvi bombsight would be nice.

Just to clarify for anyone who skims the message. The post isn't talking about clickable cockpits, just the animation for arming/disarming the bombs.

They are not talking about clickable cockpits. They want to see the switch animated, so when you hit a command, you can see the effects in the cockpit and you can tell just by looking at the cockpit's switch position whether the safety is on or off.

Only for the Ju 87? Because it doesn't work in any german aircraft.

Sure, this is to give a slight advantage to allied planes ?

Absolutely, imagine all these german bombs dropped with not armed fuzes

But seriously, it would be nice to have this animated. I hate to have to turn on the HUD, if I am not sure anymore, if my bombs are armed.

Don´t you know that the allies had 150 octan electrolube on the continent since 42 while the germans had to smear coal dust all over thier switches??

He means no clickpits in the future, not no switch movement.
