Update 4.705

Dear friends,

We just released the update containing one of the most awaited aircraft of the Battle of Normandy lineaup - British twin engine fighter/bomber De Havilland Mosquito F.B. Mk.VI series.2. This plane is very interesting - speedy, powerful, carrying an entire arsenal of guns, bombs and rockets and capable of retaining its speed even with bomb load thanks to the internal bomb bay. Moreover, there is a modification called "Tse-Tse" with 57mm (!) Molins automatic gun that had nearly the same capabilities as the 6 pdr gun installed on Churchill tanks. This big gun was intended for attacking submarines, but in skilled hands it might kill a tank. This aircraft looks remarkable both outside and inside and we did our best to show it in our 3D model. Of course, the flight model is as accurate as possible too, representing its handling peculiarities.

In addition to the new aircraft there are many other changes in 4.705 update:

Great present for the long whitesun weekend!

[150_GIAP-Red_Dragon]

Awesome! You are the best combat sim development team!

[J2_Bidu]

Thank you once more!

[OG__Iceman_VR]

The new questions link is broken. 

[moustache]

I don't see anything (or I misunderstood) concerning the correction of the tank turret bug reported on the forum... is it just an oversight in the update log?

[Jade_Monkey]

Great update, the Mossie was a highly anticipated plane!

[1PL-Banzai-1Esk]

Nice.

 

We are a step closer to Normandy.

 

 

[616Sqn_Tyggz]

Looks stunning! The centrally mounted Hispanos are incredibly satisfying

 

 

A bit of a shame the navigators position cannot be crewed though...

[CountZero]

Operation features:
- The engine is equipped with the two speed mechanical supercharger which does not require manual control. It can be switched to the low gear manually.
- Engine is equipped with an automatic fuel mixture control which maintains optimal mixture.
- Engine RPM has an automatic governor that controls the propeller pitch to maintain the required RPM.
- Propellers have a feathering system which should be activated in case of engine damage to reduce drag of the propeller in auto-rotation.
- Water and oil temperatures are controlled manually by adjusting the radiator shutter.
- Airplane has trimmers for all flight-controls: pitch, roll and yaw.
- Landing flaps have hydraulic actuators and can be extended to any angle up to 45°. The speed with the extended flaps is limited to 150 mph.
- Airplane tail wheel rotates freely and does not have a lock.
- Airplane has differential pneumatic wheel brakes with shared control lever. This means that if the brake lever is held and the rudder pedal the opposite wheel brake is gradually released causing the plane to swing to one side or the other.
- Airplane is equipped with a siren that warns a pilot if the throttle is set to low (less than 1/4) position with landing gear retracted.
- It is impossible to open the door at high speeds because of the ram air, but there is an emergency jettison handle for bailing out.
- Airplane is equipped with head, bottom formation lights and restricted intensity lights.
- The gunsight is adjustable: both the target distance and target base can be set.
- When rockets are installed there is Mk.IIL gunsight modification. To make it easier to aim rockets it is possible to shift the target line up to 5 degrees downward (key combinations Right Shift + Semicolon / Right Shift + Period by default).
- The aircraft is equipped with a bomb salvo controller, it has three release modes: drop single, drop two in a salvo or drop all bombs in salvo.
- When rockets are installed there is a salvo controller, it has two launch modes: fire two in a salvo or fire all rockets in a salvo. However, when Mk.III Tiered Rails are installed and "two rockets in a salvo" mode is selected, four rockets are launched from four rails (lower placed rockets are fired first).'

After update: VCOMP140 (not found) message (also after restart PC).

[Georgio]

Superb news, been waiting for the mossie for a while, thank you!

[Blitzen]

Oh she is just so pretty...This is the 'Maple leaf scheme somewhere over the Canadian Rockies ( well that's what it looks like anyhow...)

[Ala13_UnopaUno_VR]

Today is a long-awaited day, I love this plane, thanks for making it possible,
just one thing, it is strange to see that the 57mm does practically no damage, I have hit a ju88c6, x6 bullets from that cannon, both in wings, pure, and engines, and the ju88c6 has only shown me damage from loss of fuel, no broken wings, no fire, nothing... I expected more... DM?

to enjoy this mossie!

It has AP only, if you dont hit pilot its not any better then any other AP in game, i would stick to hispanos for air to air, they are good enough

See post above. Try hitting a submarine instead of an aircraft (but aim well!)

Guys,

 

If you have a 4K monitor please see if your Aiming Assist and Bomb Assist settings work. Possible bug.

Is it only me or sitting position of Mosquito is weirdly not on seat but in the middle of the plane? is incredibly difficult to see from any side of the plane

[BubiHUN]

Small caliber and 20mm for the Mossie has no, or really low shooting sounds in f3 view.
Reticle is still barely visible.

Maybe it's because the gunsight in that plane was offset quite a bit towards the cockpit center. In DCS Mossie there are two camera positions to switch between for that reason: the one straight on the seat (you can't aim in it) and the one centered on gunsight. I don't think Il-2GB has such functionality, so I'd hazard a guess they had to make a compromise.

Got the same issue, a friend of mine got the same thing aswell.
I got a 1440p screen but play in 1080. This error makes it so I cannot play in 1080 fullscreen but it boots the game in windowed.
I downloaded the update through steam.
Verified the integrity of game files and restarted PC with no luck

Edit: Reinstalled the game and the issue is still there.

Happened to me. If you do not have the steam version, delete the update folder and start the update process again. PRobably some corruption of files during the download or patch.

 

If you have the steam version, try to check the files integrity.

My ability to bend propellers continues......

Great news; EVERYBODY loves the Mossie!

Hopefully, the B-26 (AI) will be shortly arriving too?

Can't speak for aiming assist but bomb and rocket assists work for me on 4k.

 

Here in the UK this Thursday and Friday are bank holidays so the timing of this release is perfect. 

 

Done a couple of missions and absolutely loving this plane.

Weird it doesn't work with my main gaming rig at any resolution. Gonne test on another system. Maybe my build is porked. No one else seems to be experiencing this.

A "possible" solution .

 

How does one redownload? Normally it initiats by itself.

[PA_Juma]

I updated this afternoon and it won't let me log in to the game (I have it through STEAM). I checked the integrity of the files and found no errors. I still can't log in. Can anyone help me and tell me what to do.

Thanks

did you just reboot? I may do it, I only have the ammunition counter... and I'm not the only one apparently...

 

 

do some of you have an absence of sound in Pz IV in the gunner position, looking through the scope? I can only hear the sound of my main engine (and not the ventilation, or the plane/tank engines...) and the messages from the radio...
