Haven't had a chance to load the AQMB but one question I would love to know the answer to;  Is it possible to have a mission where you have yourself and 3 other members of the same flight.... and you can change individual aircraft skins for each aircraft? I only ask as currently in the QMB if you choose a custom skin the entire flight have the same skin ?

nope, i have tried intercept bombers mission and you can select only your flight of 4 planes. No skins for different planes. Not interested after that

[86th_Buzzi]

Nice update! Looking forward to trying AQMB. 

 

5. Ricochets happen at reduced hit angles

 

Could we get some more info on this? Does this mean the angle of impact that can cause a richochet got smaller?

 

For example: Instead of a 20 degree or less off-angle having a chance of richochet, now the impact must be 10 degree off-angle or less for richochet? 

 

And is this projectile specific? Or implemented for all projectiles in game?

 

Thanks again for the hard work!

Is the option start mission cold and dark improved into AQMB ?
It would be an nice option also for the career mode ?

[350th_Buzz]

A big "applause" for this update. This new "Advanced Quick Mission Generator" is great for bombing practice. Thank you so much.

I have expected more than just only 6 bombers escorted by 4 fighters, when i set intercept bombers mission. (max aircraft density)

Even some user made singleplayer mission can handle more then 12 planes and the game is smooth.

 

 

You can do that in SYN_Vanders mission generator, so it should be no problem to adapt AQMG accordingly.

 

[Dauntless]

At some point, will there be an AQMB for FC? 

[Mato77]

Why is no love for tankers? The module is so expensive,  but devs seems not care. Is something will be added? Exept models. 

[percydanvers]

Can someone answer for me if it is possible to do the various ground attack missions with fighters using the AQMB? My earliest IL-2 memory was doing a bridge strike with 109 F4s in Stalingrad. I'd love to do that again!

Yes

[senseispcc]

I tried two missions with the new random missions builder and it works better than i( expected. It is very fast and effective way to enjoy the game! Many changes but all for the better, thanks to the team

[VBF-12_Stele]

Just took AQMB for a spin and wow! Took off in a P-47 to bomb some tanks and immediately saw how lively the ground was with artillery firing in the distance, a train on the move, some Spitfires in the air providing cover, and then BAM I was attacked by 109s.

 

Nicely put together. Looking forward to the replay value

[Indigene]

Thank you kindly for another excellent update! I've been waiting to try the AQMB. However, I don't mean to be ungrateful, but the anticipation waiting for the Mossie is becoming somewhat torturous. Again, I'm not complaining, just please, could you ease my tortured soul by releasing it soon.

 

You devs are doing a fantastic job! This's my fav game and you folks never disappoint. Thank you again.??

[DD_Friar]

Sorry if I am being a numpty but I have just done the update but where is the new mission builder? I have gone into single player and only have the old mission builder?

Your not a numpty,  I noticed this in another post, Open the AQMB, they you will see airfields, but with different symbols. I chose the European map, Clicked on VENLO was offered an bF-109g and bomber escort or intercept. So went over to the other side (Fickle fighter...) and was offered P-38 Airfield attack. Have been bashing away at it for about 20 mins, and getting shot down for my troubles, Enjoy!

These changes this time are an improvement to the throttle and leather padding textures.

Sometimes less is more, they say.

 

Thank you for another great update!

plz consider to check out stuttering problem

after update i first notice this in AQMB so i thought it was just AQMB thing 

after switch it in to normal QMB with the same setting that i always played without any problem 

the stuttring still occurs

then i re-installed the whole game and it's still not fixed ......

No Probs DD Friar, Its the Map that is the key.  Select a Map, then select an airfield, they have different Icons than before, that allocates which plane is based there, and then the missions available to you are at the side. Click on the down arrow on the mission type on the left, and you get a list, I'm a ground pounder so I went round the airfields until I found a plane with bombs....it's didn't end well, but it was fun

No stuttering here Noel.....

[simfan2015]

Thank you for yet another great update !

The AQM is fantastic. 

The Breguet is truly gorgeous (with unique features compared to other FC planes!).

Visuals seem to have improved as well.

Performance seems to be at least as good to me as before (I didn't -yet ?- notice stuttering as was mentioned above).

 

[How come DCS improves as well though always gets slower, whereas IL-2 GB seems to have discovered that secret magical formula ?]

Hello thanks for this update. Just a pity that on the Bodenplatte map (Bodenplatte was the German attack on airfields), none of the German AQM missions offers the option for such an attack.

[salmonmarine_VR]

Very exciting! Thank you all for the hard work.

Although I was hoping to see the Bristol fighter's altimeter bug get fixed (it shows too low an altitude and you have to multiply it by 1.5 in your head), but hopefully that will come in a later update

[Jason_Williams]

Everyone,

 

This release of the AQMG is the initial release of this "new" feature, but it's not totally new technology to us as you know. However, it was a lot of work to bring it back to life in this form. We hope to expand on it in the future and add new missions or new features like some of you want. Like everything we do it takes time. I can't promise right now what future updates will entail, but we think we can make it even better. We're very glad to hear so many positive comments about it already and we think it adds a lot of great gameplay to the sim. 

 

 

Jason 

 

P.S. I forgot to mention that the AQMG does not need an internet connection to be used unlike the Pilot Career mode.

[Uberammergau]

My apologies, I just found out that the AQM missions offered depend on the aircraft type.

Try to select Ground Attack aircrafts: Fw-190A6/A8, Bf-110G2 etc.

[Kapteeni]

AQMB is a great addition. love it! Thank you guys!

[JSOflyer69]

Many thanks great update,with the new AQMG works great love it.

It will be great when the arras flying circus is implemented into it,but no complaints here

17. Animation of windshield wipers was significantly improved on player controllable trucks

This for me is a total game changer.  Can't wait to see it in action!

 

Well some coder worked on that. Maybe it's as much to do with giving him/her some recognition as it has to do with listing it for the end user.

[Algy-Lacey]

Fantastic update! Thanks!

 

I was very pleased to see that the issue I brought up in the Technical Issues and Complaints threads - to do with too many projectiles ricocheting - was actually addressed in the very next update!

 

The way the developers listen to and respond to the community is so rare in games and deserves appreciation and respect!

 

One question to those of you who have tried the new AQMG, is there a way to adjust enemy pilot skill?

[F19_Haddock]

The  AQM is brilliant. I just flew a couple of missions in the Macchi. Being able to jump into the cockpit of some of the less used planes is a pleasure. 

[coreyhkh]

Very nice, the new gameplay option gives Il2 new life!

For now the skill of AAA and enemy pilots depends on the skill of the player-wings.

Is there any plans to add multiplayer/coop features to AQMB? Would love to be able to make a coop or dogfight mission using this platform

I found a workaround, but it takes a little editing. The generated mission saves in the Mission folder which you can open in the mission editor. You'll need to edit the wingman as flyable and save it as a coop or deathmatch mission. If you're familiar with the mission editor basics it shouldn't take long. Again, takes a little bit of editing, but it can be done for now.
