Mysticpuma, just open the Quick Mission builder, and click on one of the icons that is a national marking, not the ones that are aircraft symbols.

So open the "Quick Missions" and in there on the map somewhere are just national markings? (not at computer so can't check at the moment). 

Does it have flags or Axis and Allies?

Exactly, you will find both marks.

As soon as you click on it, on the left panel you will be able to select what you prefer to do (escort, train hunt, etc...)

Be aware that some mission is looked to the aircraft you select (you cannot fly an escort mission with the stuka of course, but even the bombers have different missions).

Plus, each map will use just the planes of that historic period

Can someone just post a screenshot of how to access the AQMG please?

I'm not at computer either but as stated before, the AQMG is in the usual QMG, just open a map, click on the appropriate icon (the smaller ones) and you'll see the rest by yourself, it's really not that difficult to find.

 

Have an ice day.

There will be crosses for Germany, and a star for allied.  I'm at work, or I would post a screenshot.

This is  what you will see with the screen as normal:

 

 

 

Just click on the faded roundels, stars and crosses:

 

 

 

Take care and be safe.

 

Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

My opinion on the new clouds ❤️
 

 

[IckyATLAS]

It is nice to have rain squalls in this update. I have them over the black sea in the Kuban map.

But when the plane flies through the rain zone there is no rain effect on the plane cockpit windshields. When looking outside you do see that there are water rain lines but the plane stays dry.

When you fly in a cloud then you do get wet.

 

[BlitzPig_EL]

I think the rain effect is aircraft dependent.  Definitely see it in the Mustang, but not in the P40.

Nope, this ground-crew feller is the real cause:

hello everyone! let's talk a bit about this last update 4.701 b !!!!! NICE VERY NICE! incredible ????? in any case not for me, crash all along the line I can do it over and over again, modify the graphics even to the minimum it is unplayable. stuttering lag tearing and so on not to mention the quality of the graphics which is simply daubard from daubard !!!! in short, A BIG SHIT as we say at home, whereas before the update it worked correctly in VR certain low or balanced in multiplayer or locally but it worked with a clean image and without lag or tearing and especially with good visibility .since the update: the game is over for me and I think I will definitely give up the game because I'm fed up with taking the lead on whatever settings they may be! to tell you even LAPINO has become crappy PFFFFFFFFFF !!!!!!!! It's not Christmas for me and I only have one radical solution left: I'm going to throw myself out the window with my PC just to teach it to fly !!!!! hahaha don't worry, I live in a single storey house and therefore I don't risk much! MDR. I say that but frankly all this is distressing especially when one buys it is not free all this and therefore when things go badly for some gamers it is fashionable to REPORT it with a good hearer hi, good flight good day and especially merry christmas

Joyeux Noël!

joulikoumtou:  Posted this after older system renewals: Sometimes it's best to completely do a freah install.

Especially if you (occasionally?) use mods, and did not de-install them first properly.

For easier reinstall: backup your ACCData, career, input, swf, graphics>skins, template and Luascripts (mapemitters, worldobjects?) folders first AND startup.cfg

I hope you won't be mad at me because I make a small criticism: I see very nice effects when looking at distant clouds while the effects are less good for nearby clouds, in particular they lack definition. What you have done is a big step towards the realism of the environment, and improving it is definitely not a priority, I would like you to take this into account in the future. For now, thank you so much and good work.

 

same thinking.

 

The new clouds look amazing at distance, very realistic and great lighting effects, almost as in real life.

The performance in VR is absolutely fantastic even with Extreme clouds, giant improvement!

A big big thank for the Dev team for this major and free effort. Simulating clouds is probably one of the most difficult things.

 

Just for future improvement: the bluriness of clouds at near distant make the clouds less real (for compact clouds). Perhaps we could have a user parameter for that.

[CzechTexan]

I really appreciate all the new developments in this update!  Thank you all DEVS.

The thing I most like is the AQMG.  I use it more than anything else simply because I just don't have the time to dedicate to IL-2 and it's simple to use and gets me into missions quickly.

 

The 1941-42 period of war particularly intrigues me.  This was the desperate time when the Russians were really living on the edge.

 

What I'd like to see with the AQMG:

1.  BoM map... more action in the western part of the map like in the Vyazma region for battles in July/August 1941.

2. BoK map... more action in the eastern part of the map like between Tuapse and Maykop for battles in Summer-Fall 1942.

3. Overall... more AQMG icons added for different areas of maps and more ground battles added.

 

Thank you for your time!

[jeanba]

I also like the AQMG.

The only think I miss is the possibility to apply field mods to all the planes of your formation.

For instance, if you try a FW190 G3 attack mission, only your plane is a G3, the other ones are A6 because you cannot "field mode" them.

Same for P51B and Malcom Hood ...
