What I wish for in IL2

[CB77Don246]

1 Shorter grass in some places like airfields.

2 A button to turn off the Russian and German chat

3 The padlock working all the time mine sometimes do's not work have to reload mission.

4 Why is the Hurricane more controllable (for me) than the 3 Spitfires I thought the spitfire were the best aircraft according to the real WW2 pilots I have seen talking on film.

5 The learning curve in tank crew is so hard it would put off any new person. I have just purchased it and find it hard but I do like it what is missing is infantry.

6 I hope I do not have to wait too long for FC2. I am getting very old.

7 More life on the airfields.

8 Cows sheep in the fields

 

Ok I know this has been said before but I have to have my penny's worth (penny an old UK currency see I am old).

 

Any way I spent my money on FC2 instead of the new WOFF I don't like the way the way the planes fly in WOFF for me IL2 seems more real.

 

Thanks IL2 staff.

I like the list, when you compare DCS maps, (payed content) with the Il2 Maps, you See a difference.

 

The BOBP is the best example of a nice huge Maps, but missing the Ruhrgebiet completly. No infrastructure, many missing cities in that area etc.

 

But i believe, it is not the end for this map. There will be some updates in the future

1 Set the grass in your startup configuration file to zero, fresh mowed airfield

2 If you want the radio chatter turned off, use the turn radio volume down key till off.  It's already been done.

4 Your using a short cheap plastic joystick?  Spit control column was nearly a yard in length with a very short throw in degrees, a long quality controller is needed, or an axis curve adjustment, it is what it is cause that's how it was and modeled so.  Get an extension and it does become the best.

Hi CPT Crunch thanks for your reply.

 

1  is this the file I have to change     grass_distance = 300.00000 to zero (i will backup file before changing)

2 have found the radio chatter how to lower it thanks

3 The cheap plastic joystick I am using is the Thrustmaster T 16000M FCS and CH Pro pedals, so what you are saying is I should ditch them and spend hundreds of (UK) £s on a new one sorry my pension do's not run to expensive joysticks like a lot of people I use what I can afford there must be a lot of people using the popular Thrustmaster items so what you are saying is they need to get a more expensive setup ? or they can not fly the Spitfire.

In regards to the Spitfire VS Hurricane, the Hurricane is often said to be a much more stable gun platform than the Spitfire. The Spitfire’s advantage over the Hurricane was its speed, which made it more competitive with the Bf-109 and Fw-190.

I use this stick. It's absolutely good enough to be extremely competitive in this sim. Have you set up your control curves? They are a matter of personal preference, but iflycentral provides a good starting point here: 

 

 

You just need to be a lot smoother in the Spits than you do in the Hurri. You'll get there. Practice makes perfect and use makes master.

Along with more objects on the airfields, I'd also like to see:

1. Drop Tanks (know they're coming, and hope that in the next DD WIP images of them will be shown).

2. Improved Radio Comms and Commands (pretty much how they are in IL-2 1946)

3. Pilots not dying when parachuting into bodies of water

4. Pilots being able to exit their aircraft after a crash landing or ditching like in IL-2 1946 and CFS3, or just have it that they don't die when you're in that situation.

5. Bombsights in this game are quite slapstick. They should be how they are in IL-2 1946 and CloD where you switch to the person who is the Bombardier, such as the Nose Gunner or Top Gunner, you zoom in and you plug everything in.

6. More list of things damaged like how it is in CloD. "First Engine Damaged" staying on forever until it quits or you end the mission is quite vague as it doesn't say what about the engine is damaged.

 

That's all (I have for now) folks!

 

Good luck.

Definitely needs more interactive comms as in Il-2 46.

1) Agreed, especially near airfields 

 

5) infantry is coming. It will be limited, so dont expect anything extravagant.

 

7) Agreed. I would like a few more static objects and maybe some ground units and people.
