Maybe it’s a good thing that timer info doesn’t show up in tech tips, because if people aren’t sure if they’ve run the engine too hard, it’s an incentive not to push it any more than necessary.

So why is only this option selected to not be shown ?

Why is overheat message shown ?

Why is bomb droped shown ?

Why is landing gear down shown... and so on... 

 

If players wont to not know info techchat displays they have option to turn it of by them self or by server, no server have techcaht turned off, so it clear its popular option to have. How its now every other information is displayed by it exept engine timer expire or recharg.

Also why is then this messages shown is Instrument panel is turned on ? if its ment to not even be techchat... 

Its like having to turn on enemy icons by having outside view enabled also with icons option. 

 

EDIT:

In Realisam settings:

Instrument Panel, when hower abow it with cursor it says:
"Displays a convenient instrument data panel in the low left corner of the screen along with the minimap."

Techchat option, it says:
"Enable important information feed on the right"

So everything is true in description of what Instrument Panel does, EXEPT it turns on/off engine timer messages in techchat feed, messages that show up in right.

So by their explanation of what thouse realisam options should do, this is clear wrong.

 

So if this is ment to all work as it works now, all 100s+ of techchat messages are to be shown when only techchat is turned on, but only this 1 type is shown when instrument panel is turned on also, why its this not explained in description, they even say minimap is turned on by instrument panel, but not a word about single message on left or right.

Questions for the ENG Q & A next week:

 

• What is the status of fuel system update and drop tanks implementation? Will they be released this year (2022)?
• Has "Air Marshall" be shelved indefinitely?
• Is there any consideration with doing away with engine timers?
• Are there any concrete plans to make a flyable allied medium bomber (B-25 or B-26) in the near future?
• What helps determine the next collector plane/battle of? Do customers have any input in the decision process?

I’d also add 

• Are there plans for your wingmen to warn you of aircraft on your 6, your gunners, observers (Radio Man on the Mosquito) to warn you of approaching aircraft, and for you to request help if someone is on your 6?
• Will a swimming model and animations be added in the next installment for pilots when they parachute into the sea — I PM’d a dev about this issue where pilots instantly die when parachuting into water and the response was that making a swimming model and animations would be the easiest thing to do, anything else like making it so the pilot just doesn’t die would require greatly tweaking the pilot physiology.
• Whenever you ‘bail out’ of your tank, the tank crewmen will spawn outside and run away, can this be applied to pilots after a crash landing and the plane is on fire?
• The pilot DM for your aircraft and AI aircraft is kind of weak as after only a few hits with even machine guns bullets which aren’t aimed anywhere near the cockpit or canopy and the pilot is dead (there was one time I got a considerable amount of my tail blown off my Hurricane from a Bf-109F, I received no hits elsewhere, it kept flying… only just… and the pilot was seriously injured).
• Would it be possible to add light cruisers, heavy cruisers, battleships to Battle of Normandy?

And can some of these fly the White Ensign as currently all the identifiably flagged vessels are USN even though the RN accounted for the majority of ships involved in Operation Neptune.

I wish that they would do at least one map for Finnish Gulf. No matter how small. Plus more early war planes. I doubt though.

Mediterranean addon is more likely..

Anyways. Normandy map is beautifull

I hope for late-war Eastern Front like Berlin 1944 over Italian. CLoD already did Italian planes.

This must be one of the funniest arguments ever. CloD had one flyable Italian fighter (1938 version of G.50) and one bomber (Br.20), so Italian planes have already been done. What has not been done yet, are Easten Front planes. Right? It is time we finally get some Yaks, Lavochkins, Ishaks, Migs, Ilyushins and Petlyakovs and some versions of 109's and 190's.

EL, must you keep posting your hostilities about CloD on this section of the forum which are completely uncalled for? It is clear to all of us... even toddlers... that you really dislike this game, and therefore you should just ignore it. I read awhile back that you were pushing 70 years of age, and if that's the case then wow, talk about maturity.

 

If you feel the need to post your hostilities about CloD then please post them on the CloD section of the forum; and list any problems you encountered with it there as well as TF will certainly look into fixing them.

Calm down. He wasnt being Anti-clod. He was pointing out was that what CloD does has or should have no bearing on BoX. And...if it need be pointed out, he was replying to a post about CloD in a Box forum. I suppose you have no problem with pro CloD posts being posted elsewhere than the CloD section?

[Enceladus828]

Yes, I understand that he was pointing out CloD has no bearing on IL-2 GBs (which is why I didn't include that part in my post) and he replied to a post about CloD. The point I was getting at is that I am so tired of certain people posting all of these hostile things about CloD in this section of the forum which are completely uncalled for. If you're that hostile about the game and it will take an absolute miracle for you to play it again then just ignore the game and move on. If EL had just responded that CloD has no bearing on IL-2 GBs then that would be fine.

Solution is pretty easy - if people on this side of the forum stop claiming BoX shouldn't/can't do something because CLOD did it already, then nobody here has to point out that whatever CLOD did or didn't should have no influence on what BoX should be doing...

 

Battle of France:

Valid arguement: Propably low sales due to estimated low interest

Invalid arguement: CLOD has D.520 so BoF is basically done

 

Battle of Britain:

Valid arguement: BoX Engine is unsuited for any kind of strategic air warfare - even if done as incompetent as by the Lw in 1940

Invalid arguement: CLOD is all about BoB

 

North Africa:

Valid arguement: Hard to muster 5 relevant and fun axis planes

Invalid arguement: CLOD did Tobruk

 

Italy:

Valid arguement: Still looking for one...

Invalid arguement: CLOD has a few italian Planes

 

If CLOD fans don't bring up CLOD, BoX fans have no reason to point out, why they don't care for CLOD

A bit ironic that whenever Blitz development fails another self-imposed timeline the invariable response is that BoX and DCS have also missed timelines. ?

[MisterSmith]

To a certain extent, I'll side with Enceladus on this one. Let's get back to the OP which is where does BoX go from here, please. Not moderating anything, as posted, but we are a little off the path here.

[Bell]

My perference:Japanese aircraft first,Italian aircraft second,Soviet aircraft third.

[Hotaru_Ito]

I could go either way, but if I had to pick I'd take East '45, mainly for the late war Soviet planes. I'm mostly a career player, so I actually really enjoy flying all the 109, 190, Yak, or LaGG variants and watching the changes as the war goes on. Right now, whereas we already have some of the early British and American stuff thanks to Lend-Lease, we've got nothing Soviet past '43. It's kind of weird to have the war just sort of end for Soviet pilots after Kuban in vanilla, or to keep flying increasingly outdated La-5Fs and Yak-9s till '45 in PWCG. Yes, I know both types did soldier on till the end of the war and even into Korea, but it'd still be cool to have a Soviet career start out in I-16s in Moscow and finish up over Berlin in La-7s or Yak-3s.

 

That said, CLoD or no CLoD, it would definitely be cool to see some Italian planes--I'm rooting for a C.200 myself, since it'd be good on the Eastern Front too--and maybe a Beaufighter, A-36, or P-38F, not to mention a Med/Italy map, so I'd be almost as excited for an Italy expansion. I doubt I'll have much to complain about regardless of what they come out with. I'd love to see them eventually do both.

[danielprates]

I am surprised Italy rarely comes up in discussions like this. Beautiful scenery, some re-use of planes we already have, viable new planes....

Because its already obvious next DLC is Sicily 43. No point in posting about it anymore. Only question is what 10 airplanes for it will devs select, and what other 10 they had to select and so on.

Italy should certainly be great, but.....

....Italian beautiful planes were soon out of the game,

....and where are the heavy bombers who made the difference, the long range/big guns fleet artillery,  the US/UK armor :  tanks and auxillary and above all, the "poor bloody Infantery" who endured such predicaments ??????

That makes probably Italy a foot and guns challenge  or -best- a combined ops

This game is fighter+fighter-bomber game, its not heavy bomber of big ships game and it will not be that, so in Sicily 43 well get same as we got in BoN, just new thing is torpedos on Beaufighter/Wellington and SM.79/Ju88...

 

Game is what it is, its not PTO or Korea game its WW2 fighter pilot game... it will be that for long time

I already know that it’s “Battle of Notthesolomons” so I can wait easily enough.

 

 

[zan64]

It might be battle of manchuria (1945 soviet invasion) for all we know, i'd be super ok with that

 

(edit: oh just remebered it was only a week long, so maybe not lol)

 

if pacific theater (any location) not an option, would kind of like eastern front though over sicily, the moscow-stalingrad-kuban-ostfront1945 would really finish off the russian campaign side of the game

Ok lets play this game again, so they said next dlc will have something new for team, what is that new thingy with late war east front dlc ?

You guys thinking next dlc is east front are same as ppl still thinking next dlc is pacific after devs clearly said next dlc is not pacific.

Its realy limited on what next dlc can be based on what they said.

It is not PTO, it is not urban, it is not something clod did or will do, it have something new for team, it is prop centric, it can historicly have 4 engine bombers. So what it can be i wonder lol

Romania?

It definitively would not be really a good idea to switch now to Kharkov or Kiev…

North Atlantic ? Condor, PBY, B-24 and escort carriers against long range LW and U-Boots? 
 

Burma? Thousands of jungle km2 and some nice planes. Some Mosquitos, P-40s, Spits and Hurricanes along with Blenheim, C-47s, Curtiss against some  zeke and a few bombers?
