perhaps your´e right - i tested it on the normandy and Rheinland maps and it happens only on the Rheinland Winter 1944/45 map

[Yogiflight]

Since its release the Typhoon gets marked as a destroyed ground target with a square instead as an air kill with a circle in the AAR map.

IIRC the square means it's the player's AC.

Nope. The text says 'Enemy Typhoon Mk. Ib destroyed by friendly Yogiflight'. If it was my aircraft, the square would be blue, because I was flying a FW 190. And the Typhoons are also marked as square, when they get killed by AI. This is a bug with the destroyed Typhoon marking on the map.

Can confirm Yogi’s report.

In the 'Schlachtflieger'-versions of the FW 190 A6, the G-3 andf G-3/R-5, the switches for preselection of the wing bombs ( Flügelbomben Vorwahl) on the left side panel are working in the wrong direction. At the front position you can read 'Aus' (Off) and at the rear position 'Ein' (On). Additionally at the left side of the switches you have the writing

'Bei Abwurf der Rumpf bomben beide Schalter auf "Aus" (When dropping fuselage bombs both switches to "Aus" (Off))

In game the default position of the switches is 'Ein' (Off), so rear position, but when you press the button for dropping bombs, the wing bombs stay at their racks, instead of falling, as they should.

The same counts for the Schlachtflieger version of the FW 190 A5, the U17.

I would humbly like to ask if this problem is on the list of things for developers to do?

You can change the colors on the main game interface options screen.

Brief description: The P47D-22 moving propeller hub texture link to p47d22_blr#add2.dds is defective. It shows as white area in game or viewer. The "white propeller hub".

 

Detailed description:
1. Assign any skin to a P47D-22 in mission editor and viewer.
2. Whenever the propeller is shown to be in motion the propeller hub will always show as pure white no matter what skin is chosen.
3. This defect has been introduced since the model update in 2022.

PC configuration: windows 10.

The DEFECT

 

From my backups I found that some time in 2022 the model was updated. It went from one blur texture to two blur textures.

 

p47d22_blr.dds  ->  p47d22_blr#add1.dds, p47d22_blr#add2.dds

 

By using the green painted textures on the P47D-28, which does not have the problem, I was able to establish that the p47d22_blr#add2.dds texture is the culprit.

Weird black spot on lower LOD non-DDay Normandy map, East of Saint-Martin-de-Varreville. When you get closer to it, it goes away. Same with "zoom," the higher detail textures do not display it.

Minor bug, landing fire was placed in the runway at Beaulieu. Time was around 2000.

 

It was on the D-Day Normandy map, might be present for the other Normandy map.

[Yogiflight]

In the Bf 110 E2 and G2 down at the bomb mode selector it should be "Sicher" (safe) or more likely "Gesichert" (saved/unarmed), instead of "Sichert".

Additionally, when the switches are up in the position "Entsichert", like in the screenshot, the bombs should be armed, which they aren't in game. The safety switches move up automatically, for the selected bombs in game. In this case the four wing bombs are selected.

I think it's intentional. Please note that the default skin represents RAF fighters camo and markings system adopted in the very last months of the war, when Brits decided to paint all spinners black and use the same small-diameter, fuselage 1942-pattern roundel on upper surfaces of the wings, replacing the previous big-diameter 1940-pattern roundel.

 

I don't know if older airframes in service were repainted in field when new regulation came, but looks like texture artist (ICDP I presume?) wanted to give this impression - you can see the outline matches the diameter of old pattern roundel and the camo colours have slightly different shade to look like post-factory repaint.

Yes, this is the case. You'll notice on a lot of the RAF default skins that things like fuselage bands and invasion stripes are rendered as being painted over/removed in the field as the historical timeline gradually progresses. Same deal here with the wing roundels. It's not a bug.

light bug

Detailed description, conditions:

when the sun is "rising" or "setting", it happens more or less regularly that the JPG crosses the walls of the tank: sometimes just once, the 1st time that we "enter" a place in the tank (n' any: driver, gunner, commander... etc...), sometimes several times, randomly...
at times, you just have to wait to see it disappear, at times, you have to "exit/enter" several times in a row for it to disappear, and sometimes it will reappear if you change position...

DVD persists when the plane is repaired. The 2D visual damage is repaired, but the 3D not, at least the 20mm. Don't know if with low caliber happens the same because it was a multiplayer server.

I don't know if you have sources, which show it written that way, but if not, in the Hs 129 'Flügel bomben' and 'Rumpf bomben' should be written as one word 'Flügelbomben' (wing bombs) and 'Rumpfbomben' (fuselage bombs).

 

 

The same counts for the word 'Fahrgestell anzeige', which is written as one word as well, 'Fahrgestellanzeige' (gear display).

Se5a, the streamer on the right wing remains "attached" when the wing is snapped off. It remains in position rather than attached to the wing so when the wing is busted or gone the streamer is still flying where it was originally.
