Game version 4.605 discussion: AQM, Breguet 14.B2 and various improvements

[BluesmanSF]

That was a quick hotfix! Thank you, much appreciated!

 

[[ER]Nordseefischer]

thank you

 

[Blitzen]

Great!

[Falcon41]

Team, I really am enjoying the improved QM; however, would it be possible to allow the player to chose the skins of his flight as well as his own plane?  Perhaps in a future fix!

Nevertheless, a great update.

This is really something....this dev teams ability to listen feedback and react fast with bug fixes. I take my hat off.

I'm getting "Failed to Update" when I try to run IL-2. Any idea how to fix this? I tried deleting my Updates folder.

I think I figured it out, I had the skin viewer open while trying to run the updater.

[sevenless]

Wow! You guys are quick with the fix. Thanks!

There should be a workaround, but it takes a little editing. The generated single mission saves in the Mission folder which one can open in the mission editor.  You should be able to set the skins you desire.

 

Additionally, if you want coop play, You'll need to edit the wingmen 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.

[BlitzPig_EL]

It looks like only the last mission you generate in the AQMB is saved.  I made two yesterday, and only the last one was in the "mission" file.

 

Not a bad idea actually, as the mission file would get filled with lots of data otherwise.

[Falcon41]

Thad and BlitzPig-EL,

      Thanks for the information on the saving of the last AQMB mission, didn’t know the mission was saved that way.  I’ll give it a go tonite and see if I can modify the skins of my flight.

Yes, it works that way with both career missions and quick missions of all types - the master file in the file directory will be overwritten every time a new mission is generated. 

[RNAS10_Mitchell]

Awesome!  Thanks for the fast resolution.  Will check it out this evening.

26. Changed the probability of randomly selected allied and enemy squadrons in the Career mode which should increase the variability of different types of aircraft in a mission.

 

Very good!

very good indeed!!

[BlitzPig_EL]

Well, tried to convert one of the AQMB missions to a DF mission.  All enemy units, air and ground simply disappeared.  I could launch the mission online but it was totally empty, other than myself.

 

Oh well, it's still a great addition.

[Mtnbiker1998]

Hotfix sounds great! looks like it addressed most of the issues people were having.

I also saw this in a quick mission 1v1 against FW-190A8s, they did not drop their bombs after engaging me

Yea. It’s definitely different from prior versions. The bomb release is usually almost instantaneous in the previous 4.604.

Thad,

     I tried your workaroundl; however, it appears that in the ME the skins for any squadron mates default to the default skin each time and doesn't allow you to select alternative skins from either the normal selection or any you may have downloaded, except for the skin of the plane your flying.

Great job on the new Ju 52 skins, @ICDP. ?

[Cleo9]

I don't know if this has been reported yet, but none of my missions are available anymore since the latest update, although they appear in the game directory. Even the missions that are supposed to come with each module are not accessible

Thanks for the heads up on this one. I just bought the 9T earlier in the week and hadn't found it in the AQMB. Time to boom, zoom and *ka-boom*.

Ciao a tutti i piloti, nell'aggiornamento 4.605 è riportato che l'Advanced Quick Mission Generator. Ma non lo trovo nella sim come posso fare? Grazie e buona giornata a tutti

Ciao bello,

just click on the Quick Mission and you will see new icons (black cross for Germany) etc. - click on one of these and you will see all the Advanced Quick Mission options.

Buona giornata a te

Open here:
 

Spoiler

Ciao, se apri normalmente il quick mission trovi delle icone nuove che prima non c'erano.
Una croce nera per i tedeschi e la stella rossa per i russi. Una volta cliccato lì puoi selezionare il tipo di aereo e in base a quello una serie di missioni, tipo scorta ai bomber, scorta ai 110, ecc..
Se ti piace il single player è un ottimo modo per creare tante delle piccole missioni differenti in pochissimo tempo..

Dear IL-2-Team,

 

thank you so much for the last update/fix!!!!!!!!!

The AQMG and all the other advancements are great! It increases the value of the game tremendously!

I missed something like that for a long time!

Keep up the good work ?

 

Best Regards from Germany!

[Danziger]

This AQM is awesome! Exactly what I have wanted for a long time. I have been going back to school the last couple of years. Taking care of a little one with autism as well. I just don't have the time to fly the career missions like I used to. Or even have the time for skinning anymore for that matter. The original QMB is great to get in some action for an hour or so but feels a bit empty and lifeless more for testing. These AQM missions are where it's at! Thanks guys!

[opternary]

I've just bought IL-2 this week. I've had excellent first impressions, with exception to the basic quick mission generator, which I thought was lacking. Do you read in my mind? Superb work!

[Hien-0_1*]

Hi development team!

Notes on the historically correct use of the BF109E-7 (aircraft is completely missing from the selection in the "Battle of Stalingrad Map winter 1942/43").

 

I ask you to include the historically correct BF109E-7 in this map (BoS winter 1942/43)!

 

PS: there was never a FW190A3 in the Stalingrad combat area (but at AQMG it is available / sorry, that's fiction!) I ask you to include the historically correct BF109E-7 in this map (BoS winter 1942/43)!

[FlyingNutcase]

First mission in the AQMG, in my shiny new 9T. A nice mix of various flights during the sortie, got a couple of 190 kills helping out some Air Cobras in some random mashup on the way home. A great start and very immersive.

 

BTW Is it correct that there are no anti-armor missions for the Ju-87 D-3? There just seem to be bombing missions. I assume that's the same for all maps but haven't checked beyond Kuban. Cheers.

We all know that. AQMG is no history simulator. Think of it as happening near Smolensk with JG51.

I think that there is no anti-armor mission type at all in AQMB.

It would be definitely nice to have and even for the simple QMB would be nice to be able to choose light, medium or heavy tanks and if they are stationary or moving. Right now it seems that the light/medium/heavy rotates automatically there and there is no option to choose a stationary tank as target.

[Strewth]

Well, I finally got a go at the AQMB thisevening and it's pretty good.
 

After finshing off some pesky Germans in my trusty Spit and running out of ammo in the process, I decided to land at the airfield.
Low and behold. What did I see out the front of a hanger?
Is that a B-25 Mitchell??

The joystick got a little shaking there for a moment. But I am sure it was a B-25. Maybe this is a teaser?? Maybe I just drank too much port???

Here is hoping.

Cheers to the team for a continual great effort.

For Аnti-armor mission try the "Ground support" AQMB mission.

There are 4 possible variants of events in this type of mission, including a counter tank battle.

Ju-87 will be available for this missions in an nearest update.

[Missionbug]

Hello guys, thank you very much for the latest update, really appreciated.

 

Not had much time in the the new AQMB but it seems a lot better than what was already available, seems to be more going on without the hassle of adding in all sorts of things by the player so ideal for those wanting a quick fix where time is short.

 

One thing puzzles me though, I launched a Spitfire mission on the Europe map that was to defend against incoming bombers and got two Me-262 with four Hs-129, surely the Hs-129 was out of service by the Boddenplatte time period and the Fw-190 would be used instead, seemed odd, I assume the jets were escorting, or were they?

 

So then, is this new feature meant to be historical or can anything turn up and surprise us all?

 

 

The Breguet 14.B2 looks awesome.

 

Take care and be safe.

 

Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

we already had B25 AI, didn't we?

Well - - - - Yes we did.

But since others are are able to make assumptions in upcoming flyable models with teasing bits from Jason and the team. I thought that I would just throw this into the mix.

It was more a semi-sarcastic joke (in my mind at least) regarding all the speculation on upcoming aircraft. No offence intended to anyone.

Cheers

 

[BlitzPig_EL]

AI B25 has been in the sim for some time.

[Ouky1991]

Will it be possible to fly planes from different theatre on different maps in AQMG? For example 109-K4 over Stalingrad?
