Developer Diary, Part 69

Well a switch for fueltank selection surely would be nice and important.

 

In the P.-51 you needed to empty the fuselage tank first in order to make it fly stable, old IL-2 used this tank when all other tanks were empty already making the plane even more unstable.

[Volkoff]

LaGG-3 uses the 2 wing tanks first and than the 3 fuselage ones. It's supposed to be the same with La-5.

On the La-5. I wonder if we start out with the two wing tanks empty, if that would make the plane more flammable? I figure that if we start with all five tanks filled with fuel and we use up the fuel on the wing tanks, we would certainly end up with fumes that would make ignition more likely. What if we take off with the wing tanks empty, to start with though? Would there necessarily be fumes int he tanks that would make a fire more likely or could the plane take off with two empty tanks and no increased risk of fire?  MJ

 

P.S. I wish that the two tanks were removable, as a field mod.

They emptied it half way, then switched to wing tanks I believe.

I think (but must confirm with manual) that on LaGG3 or La5 tanks had selfsealing layer to prevent quick leakage of fuel+ exhaust fumes were inserted inside them as ignition inhibitors .

Might be just me, but I would personally allocate that "issue" with a priority number #23398, right after #23397 (outhouses with 3 different toilet papers).

 

Devs have X amount of time, Y amount of money and Z amount of manpower. I personally wish that they concentrate on things like working

single player campaign and mission builder.

But thats only me, I am a bit weird in my wishes..

Agreed 100% Wind. ~S~

Yes, they all have that sort of tanks.

No question about it, it's a very pretty sim.

I must be doing well....it hasn't slapped me yet.

winter map is nice, but what about summer map?

[Finkeren]

Not happening this side of release date, and propably not for a while after.

[fjacobsen]

I think both the available maps and available aircraft are set for the release and no further additions will be made before sometime after release.

 

Personally I also prefer a limited set of maps and aircraft that has very few bugs for a start rather than the opposite.

Ravonmith: Did you read the text you posted yourself? It specifically says that the first operational Fw 190s in the east reached the front at the time of the Battle of Stalingrad, but that they were NOT in action on the southern part of the front and instead went to the Leningrad area and lake Ilmen in support of the Demyansk Pocket.

 

 "don´t know nothing"

 

I got to that brilliant phrase and stopped reading.

i really can't wait!

Need a short video or gif with some waving grass.

[LLv34_Flanker]

S!

 

 Really hope the grass is not popping in and out like in CloD. Otherwise looks very nice and adds to the scenery.

[Nage]

That twitter pic looks nice...

After all theyve said it should most likely come tomorrow. I certainly really hope so. Cant wait for the beauty too:)

I say 40% chance it comes tomorrow, 50% next week, 10% it's delayed.

2 weeks ago Zak was saying 3 weeks and was joking around about not wanting to use the "two weeks" (registered)

If a dev reads this and knows if the FW comes. Could you please tell us? *prettyplease*

[II/JG17_HerrMurf]

Fingers crossed but I suspect another week or two. ATM I'm actually excited about the new grass and trees.

This is pretty much what I think too. Hoping for tomorrow ofc.

[=LG/F=Kathon]

I say 50%/50%. It comes tomorrow or not.

[smink1701]

I hope we at least get a cockpit shot

But it is still ok if he has an opinion isn't it? It's all just wishes and hopes at this point anyway. Criminy, let a guy dream out loud a little.
