Game version 4.706 discussion: Ar 234 and B-26

[FeuerFliegen]

This may have already been mentioned (I didn't read the whole thread, but I was flying the AR234 and my pilot was killed, but when I looked at a 3rd person view, the pilot appeared to be alive still.

Thanks for your help. The only variant of the Ar240 with the gun pods was the proposed Night Fighter variant that was never actually built other than  mockups that show the radar Ant. and gun placement. What a cool plane to fly I love the view from cockpit

 

I assume you are talking about the Arado AR-234? I'd have to check to see what drawings show gunpod fittings for the Ar-240.

 

If you are referring to the Ar-234, that isn't entirely true - the gunpod was available for use by Arado Ar-234 in general and a bunch were manufactured. The most famous use is the unsuccessful night fighter conversion experiment - but it seems there was certainly an intention to have them for other applications as well.

 

Btw. Arado itself repeatedly proposed multirole and armed recon Arados as part of the studies leading up to the Ar-234 and as part of the proposals for improved versions of the Ar-234 (although these usually were organic installations in the nose, rather than as an external gunpod).

Those of us stuck at work want to see those aircraft stats ?

[Avimimus]

The Arado has insanely robust landing gear - if you haven't tried off-roading it... definitely try taking it for a drive cross-country!

Well I guess that does answer my question. The first time I asked about this was my fault because I didn't explain it in detail. Also I didn't see anyone else say about this issue so it led me to think I didn't have the aircraft. By the way sorry if this was the wrong thread to post this .

Best inverted flat spin in the game, try getting out of one without the chute.

Its fine dude... the beta team and developers are on another thread making observations and notes of the Released Public Version, and most if not all of your concerns will be addressed. This is where you want to post issues you are having or just tell Jason how great him and the developers are..

The Arado is a beast,that gunsight is a little odd and takes getting used to it,this thing needs its own world to land and take off,lol,i was landing earlier and pulled the chute while it was in the air  ha ha ha ha, that didn't end well.

 

I'm mapping that sight to one key on my throttle quadrant,much easier that way,the plane is fast and handles like a dream,also tried the Rato packs, that was pretty neat,very happy with the plane,thank you!! 

[BlitzPig_EL]

Turning it on the ground is... Interesting.

The thing has a turning radius

like a Lexington class aircraft carrier.  It behaves like a 109 with the tail wheel locked.

 

It's an odd duck, that's for sure.

I think the new Arado Autopilot is a Great thing ?

But it bites a bit with the „old“ autolevel autopilot, when switch into bombsight the autoleveler take over and „delete“ the real autopilot. It’s like the two different autopilots fight who take over the plane ?

Is there a chance implement this more complex system partially in other planes? For example in the German Bombers to make the „Kurssteuerung“ a bit more complex?

The Ar234 is a really nice bird with all his unique settings ????

[Yankee_One]

Only two words

 

absolutely fantastic

I had a similar cases with other planes when you are the flying pilot, when looking with outside cameras that are fixed on the plane. You see the pilot with some of the cameras and with another the pilot seat is empty. I am not sure this has been corrected as it is say a marginal bug.

Can Ar 234 BZA dive bomb scope be rotated to look backwards?

Sounds radical. This bombing method would outdo even Maverick's craziest stunts.

[Reynard11]

Anyone have any issues re-arming the 234 after landing in a multiplayer mission? If using the boosters it only seems to re-fit the right side but never the left for me.

Yes. And yes it’s correct that way

If you look in the aircraft notes on the map screen it is listed there. Left alt F I think?

Just downloaded update. I'm not seeing the new AR-234 in my aircraft list to fly? I have the steam version but pre-ordered battle of Normandy?  I can fly the the new Mosquito so why not the Ar-234?

I have the exact same problem as creamersdream. Use Steam version of game but account is linked to 1C and all purchases have been made on the developers site. Until now I have had no problems with any of my purchases not showing up in the listings of aircraft. Mosquito being a similar example. Scrolling the list, still does not show the Arado. File validation through Steam shows no problems with files.

Strangely enough if you create a career, the Arado appears in that list of aircraft and you can fly it. But its definitely not listed on Quick mission.

I have contacted customer support and hope they can come up with an answer.

[Ptolemy_Soter]

What a marvellous plane you've made !

The Arado is the pinacle of dev's work.

All the new technologies introduced with it are a promise for the future of this sim.

 

And one of the more important thing, this is the first WWII reconnaissance aircraft !

I cannot wait to have more of them !

Looks great, but is it possible to spawn the jeep vehicles on the landing craft?

I don't think so, only nearby the ship.

BTW what are the green media MCUs for?

Just for indication, it is a test mission after all.

You mean Quick Mission or Advanced Qiuck Mission? In the QM Arado should be available:

And for Advanced Quick Missions Arado is not added yet.

My problem is that when I select the Rhineland map click on one of the German crosses to pick a bombing mission like a supply dump, I do not see the Ar-234 in the list Of planes available to fly. When I just do a free flight in the same map I can select it in the list and fly. Could this possibly be a bug? Anyone else have this issue? Could you please try it.  I hope I have come across clear on this.

 

 Thanks

Advanced quick missions for Arado are not available yet, will be added in the hotfix.

[9./JG27DefaultFace]

So about that photo reconnaissance mod for the arado….

 

does anyone know if it works, can we take pictures with it or is it just cosmetic so to speak?

For now it's rather a cosmetic feature, but it will be made functional for the photo reconnaissance missions.

The Arado periscope is utilised by the 'nestle to visor' command but there is no animation of this.  Is it possible the Devs could animate the periscope like the revi gunsight 'stowaway' command?

Dive bombing sight is enabled by LShift+V.

 

This is periscope view. Is it any tutorial / info how to use it during dive bombing? I see fixed cross and yellow scale.

Thanks for the clarification on this Regingrave.

Like creamersdream I was looking for the Arado in the Advances Quick Mission not Quick Mission.

It is appearing in my list. ?

Another hugely disappointing update making the B26 AI only is another slap in the face from the developers.

I‘m sorry, but do you have some comprehension issues? When was there ever anything else communicated? We knew since the announcement of BoN that the Marauder would be AI only

Edited June 16, 2022 by Asgar

[Yankee_One]

Hi Devs,

 

i found a little misspelling on the A 234.

Left to the RPM indicators on the instrument panel

the tag shows:

 

Höchsten Geschwindigkeit     it should be Höchstgeschwindigkeit without  "en"

 

Landeklappe Startstellung    320 Km/h

Landeklappe Landestellung  280 Km/h

 

Thanks

Out of 5 allied airplanes made in BoN, Typhoon I, Spit14, P-51B, P-47D22, Mosquito VI who do you kick out to have B-26 without having more players asking why one of the 5 is not in game or AI only. B26 is AI because its probably first step in long process of adding it to game as collectable airplane, like it was done in past with ju52, C47, B25...

[Lusekofte]

I flown the plane some time now, it is by far great ? ? 

But I still lack info on the usage of several things. Reminds me a bit of another game. 

Another thing is, by now we would have known the next planned pack. 

It seems to me something not going as planned

The announcement from November 2019, before you even joined the forum. 

The only reason you are hugely disappointed is because you are hugely misinformed.

 

 

 

Edit: This is what comes to mind

Thanks for this update. And the B26 has working tactical codes too.

The pilot and copilot have new caps, very nice.

 

 

I'd love to see 50 mission "Crunch caps" but in the B-26 I see "flak helmets "

I have an issue with career mode since this update. I posted a bug report, but Rapidus couldn't reproduce the issue. When I start a mission in career mode, instead of getting the mission map I get an error message 'Object undefined

 

                                                                    LuaScripts/WorldObjects/Ballistics/HandGunFlareWhite5.txt' or Red7, instead of the White5

I have to restart the computer with Alt+Ctrl+Del, because I can get the cursor, but I can't click anything.

OS is Windows 11. Maybe anyone has an idea, what might be the issue. Thanks in advance
