It did not work for me because I have scrolling on inactive windows deactivated, because I use dual montor setting and it is annoying that my secend screen keeps scrolling if I use fullscreen on my main monitor. Reenable that function, fixes the scrolling issue, but I do not like that

 

Ok. I understand. And if I add two  buttons for zooming in and out, can I fix your problem?

For some reason windows 11 never detects the additional windows as being "active", no matter if you click on it or not. Maybe there is a fix for that. Additional buttons might be a workaround.

You are amazing pal ?Thanks for the zoom keys

[LoupVert]

Awesome tool that I love using. Thanks a lot, man.

 

Just a minor triviality : the GDrive link have the Typewriter twice, a .12 and .13 file. Not the Default version, though.

For some reason, Windows does not even allow me to download the file, download failed, because of virus.

 

In the past, I always managed to download.

Many thanks, I figured it was my new internet provider "security feature" that was blocking the download, after disabling it, it goes all fine.

 

Many thanks again,

New spanish version 11.18.11.13 released.

 

The changes are the same as the English version.

[marcobona]

New english & spanish version 11.18.12.14 released.

 

- Added Airfields Legenda for Maps section.

- Fixed some data and various improvements.

[marcobona]

Due to the latest official 5.101 Update a new english & spanish version 11.20.12.14 has been released.

 

- Added new Spitfire Mk.XIVe plane in the main App and in Bodenplatte Scenario.

- Re-designed and improved the Maps and Cockpit section: now the zoom with scroll is centered on mouse position.

- Fixed some bugs and various improvements.

[Roland_HUNter]

G-6 Late has MW-50 engine power, that's not a problem, but if you using the MW-50 modification, the modification is 84kg, so the plane will be heavier.

So with that settings the G-6 late weight is 3230 kg, not 3146.

Right. But then you also need to consider the weight of the water-methanol mixture mass: 63 kg. In addition, the weight of 3146 kg is the standard one provided by the simulator; how do we know if MW50 is included in this weight or not?

Ahm, the default weight is 3146.
If you move over your cursor on the MW 50 modi, it's says: additional mass 84 kg. So then the weight will be 3230 kg.

Due to the latest official 5.102 Update a new english & spanish version 12.21.14.16 has been released.

 

- Added new Bf-109 G-6AS plane in the main App and in Normandy & Bodenplatte Scenario.

- Performance code optimized.

- Some Axis cockpit images enhanced (soon all of Axis & Allies will be).

- Fixed some bugs and various improvements.

[ThePops]

What an outstanding piece of work ? Thanks a lot.

 

Just a few minor things.

 

Several aircraft have two different engines that can be installed and chosen in the game. Most of these makes for substantial differences in performance. IMO they should be listed as separate aircraft, at least when comparing two aircraft this would be useful. This is particularly true for the 109 G-6AS.

 

Another thing which perhaps is just me, but it would be nice to have standard (international) modern aeronautical units in addition to metric and imperial (ie speed in knots, alt in feet, climb speed in fpm).

 

Anyway, keep up the good work ?

HI. Thanks for your positive comments on my app.
The decision to use only the most powerful engine and therefore the best performance is my personal one. It's also a practical matter: there are too many variants for each plane and the performance changes accordingly. I have therefore preferred to report the best possible configuration for each plane and thus make a comparison with the best possible configuration of its rival. How else could I use the compare button between two planes, one with a maximum configuration and one with the minimum?

To stay in the spirit of the simulator, I preferred to use the measurement systems adopted in that period.

 

 

Bye and thanks again for your report.

[ThePops]

No problem, it's your app ? Naval planes in WWII had "modern" measurement system. The modern system is the American/English system, but with knots instead of mph. It was definitely used in that period, and much earlier, but not widely used by "ground based" air forces.

The quality of the videos is such as to allow them to be streamed to anyone with an average internet connection. Let me know if you like the videos and if you want me to add more (for example take off, landing or flight videos). If you want, you can also submit some of yours to me and I'll be happy to upload them to the App. Remember that the video window is resizable and you can double click on it for full screen and for return back.
- Fixed some bugs and various improvements.

Hello,

First thank you for this amazing tool.

 

I use the new version (5 aug : IL2BOX_DefaultFont_v14.23.16.22). No problem with previous version : IL2BOX_DefaultFont_v12.23.16.21

 

I have a problem when displaying some maps. For some maps (Stalingrad for instance) , sometime display is ok, some time I have the error showed in attached images.

For Normandy maps, I always get the problem. Problem appears randomly; do not know why nor how.

 

What can I do to have a correct display.

It's my fault (of course!). It's an Out Of Memory error. To make my app compatible for all PCs, I dedug the app for 32bit processors instead of 64bit. Now all CPUs are 64bit and manage memory better. For now I recommend using the app with only one window open at a time. I will fix everything with the next release shortly.

Thanks for yor report.

Hello,

thank you for information. Once agains congratulation for this tool. Done a great job.

 

Have a nice week-end.

Waiting for Lisunov Li-2, a new english & spanish version 14.24.16.22 has been released.

 

- Added a new Aerial View feature in the Maps Section. The aerial views of the airfields (with one or more runways) were made by me and uploaded to my OneDrive. 

- Fixed the problem of "Out Of Memory" error. I compiled the entire App as 64bit CPU version; now it works only for this processors. 
- Fixed some bugs and various improvements.

What is the not boosted throttle for the Yak 9?
I see there is a speed variant for it.
On SL Example:
Boosted: 547 km/h
Not boosted:514 km/h

I know. There's no boosted or not boosted speed in Yak-9. But that's not the issue. 

I'm trying to get a set of speed values taken directly from the sim for each aircraft under these conditions:

- aircraft with full tank of fuel and standard equipment

- Kuban autumn map

- Speed at 100% throttle (not boosted), at boosted (where it exists, otherwise boosted = not boosted, this in order not to upset the app interface) and at nominal (60% throttle or RPM nominal)

 

It will be hard work, but only for some planes will the values need to be reviewed. If you like, we could calculate and evaluate them together. What do you say?

Very good, I will contact you Thursday evening (time zone UTC +01) in pm. Good evening.

[marcobona]

A new english & spanish version 15.24.17.23 has been released.

 
- New app interface that reports all speed values in IAS. The speeds of each plane were tested directly "In Sim", using the Kuban Autumn map, in the conditions of 100% fuel, default load (for transports without cargo), no clouds and no wind. Now you will find only two speed values for each plane: max and nominal. All this would not have been possible without the precious help and support of @Roland_HUNter, who tested all the values with me and gave me advice and suggestions to obtain maximum precision.
- Added new Lisunov Li-2 plane in the main App and in Moscow, Stalingrad & Kuban Scenario.
- Fixed some bugs and various improvements.
