Update 4.505

Dear friends,

The IL-2 Sturmovik development team wishes you the best in the coming year and has a small gift for you - another update. It includes the work of the community enthusiast Chiawei =Oyster_KAI= Liang who agreed to work with us more closely and make his textures even better to be included in the sim officially. All the player controllable aircraft in this update have their cockpit textures considerably upscaled and sometimes corrected, resulting in a much better look of their cockpits. At the same time, Martin =ICDP= Catney has finished working on the external textures of another plane - this time it is I-16 - and they look great. There are many other fixes and improvements you can see in the changelist below.

Happy New Year and best of luck to you in 2021!

Hi all

This is to have customer care with no doubt. Every retouch is a plus up

 

Thanks a lot for your effort

Great to see the 4k cockpit skins made it into the official game!

 

Also nice to see this one fixed, it was annoying in MP servers since as a bomber you could be seen from miles and miles away:

On A-20B bombers, problems with ANOs and bomb bay tail signal lamp at long LODs have been fixed.

Implementing the 4k cockpits from @Oyster_KAI is an amazing Christmas gift.. Thank you all so much,!! 

[69th_Didney_World 593]

a pleasantly unexpected NY gift! 

 

Thank you, devs!

[S10JlAbraxis 61]

Thanks for including the 4k cockpit update that Oyster_KAI did such amazing work on (and thanks to Oyster).  The cockpits look amazing!  I was hoping you would integrate this mod into the game.  

 

I really apricate the ongoing improvements you are making and how well you respond to the community.  It is truly amazing the level of growth and enhancement in BOX since 2014 (which is why I buy every product you release).   

[Adj 17]

Thanks to the team for the continual improvements to this game and a Happy New Year 😃 to all. 

[LukeFF 6146]

I love all of the improvements that @Oyster_KAI has made, and that especially includes this one for the Ju 87, where we finally have the correct text on the armament panel for the BK 3.7 cannons:

 

[sevenless 2266]

You guys are fantastic! All the best wishes for the new year!

[dburne 2386]

Great looking update, and thanks for the pleasant surprise!

Happy New Year!!

[LF_Gallahad 1787]

Thanks team and Oyster! a great gift to end the year!

[Falcon41 73]

      It’s really great to see the developers recognize members of this community that are talented and willing to improve this sim in better and better ways.  To me that says a great deal about where this sim will go in the future ... a true partnership between the community and the developers!  KUDOS and a Happy New Year to all.

[WheelwrightPL 257]

Thank you for generously giving your time and effort to the community: Chiawei =Oyster_KAI= Liang

It was a lot of work, may the upcoming new Year find you happy and healthy.

We only work with those that show professionalism and have the ability to listen to and work with the team. It's a select few. I've been in contact with Oyster for months. We finally had time to work with him and squeeze this in before the end of the year. Now he has a history with us, much like ICDP does, and some others who we can count on.

[ZachariasX 2406]

What a nice surprise! This game has come a long way indeed.

[=EXPEND=Capt_Yorkshire 115]

Thanks dudes

[simfan2015 190]

Thank you so much Jason and Oyster KAI for this cooperation and accomplishment!!! 

[itsbillyfrazier 61]

Just been out for a quick spin in the Fw190-A8...

 

All the updates we got this year are just mind blowing. The sim is looking amazing.

 

What an amazing Christmas present from the devs, and for all their outstanding work this year.

 

I was going to pass on the the collector ground vehicles until there is a sale (money is pretty tight these days), but nah i got to buy them now and show some love back. 

 

I absolutely love this sim! 

 

Super work guys, I can't thank you enough.

[frosen 27]

I'm especially happy that Oyster's work got officially implemented! Thanks @Oyster_KAI and Devs for a great work! I'm a very happy customer 🙂

[HBB*Hunger 142]

Thank you as always! Wonderful job!
