Developer Diary, Part 74

[SR-F_Winger]

ahhhhh, so much better. Thanks for posting!

[Beazil]

Yup. Someone needs to post before/after pics of the fw cockpit. I'm looking forward to seeing the changes. Can't believe this was done in a week.

Lol that was quick too! Thanks guys!

[StG2_zulu354]

Too bad, the He-111 isn't included yet. Can't wait to go with German Bomber. =) Anyway, thanks for the new update. =)

[sallee]

Well done!

 

111 looks absolutely gorgeous!

[Feathered_IV]

Looks much better 

[303_Kwiatek]

Fw 190 cocpit improved.  Still down level frame looks too thick

Ty for the pics resmania. I assume new is the right screen and old is the left?

The other way round

I don't know, i just made a quick look in the cockpit. But I think the dashboard is worse than before, I can't see down there. And there are so important features like Prop-Pitch, Fuel, Fuel consumption, Oil, Temperature.

[LuftManu]

Thanks Team! Really like the new appereance, I was not certain about the problem of the "bar" before, but I clearly have more visibility now, also I am a little more behind than the original Pov and its nice, Thanks!

 

But!, the revi is too high

 

Anyway, You manage a really good work and a really nice timing!, only one week, and I think you all deserve much thanks!

also the REVI is still too high...

disapointing!

My opinion on current FW 190 cockpit. 

Edited August 1, 2014 by resmania

[Blooddawn1942]

The adjustable Stabilizers on the FW 190 don´t seem to work anymore.

[sallee]

 I can't see a shit down there.

You mean you want to?

1. Perfection has no limits.

2. To infinity and beyond! ©

 

[Siegfried]

They only cut vertical frames in exterior side and add a black line in bottom frame, very disappointment. Sight too high, pilots POV too high, inferior board still impossible to view, the famous "bar" still here. There's not sufficient proofs, videos and photos for understand the real pilot's view?

 

Seriously, all this cockpit 3D representation issue is only some kind of joke to us... don't?

[Panzerlang]

 

Left side after the new patch.

 

Again with the incomprehensible decision.

 

Make the frame that holds the armored glass TOTALLY NON-VISIBLE, lower the Revi to its correct position and lower the pilot in his seat so that his eye-line is correct in regard to the windscreen and lower instrument panel.

 

Seriously, WHY do this half-baked? I simply cannot comprehend the decision-making process. Clearly it can be done but you (the devs) have chosen to do it 50%. Please tell us your rationale behind this, there has to be a reason we're not understanding here.

[LLv34_Flanker]

S!

 

 Thanks for the update. Good to hear press was interested in BoS Heinkel looked fabulous! Can't wait to try it out! The Fw190A-3 windscreen is better but the errors still remain. Anyway a step to right direction which is much appreciated.

[smink1701]

Thanks for update gents!  And for listening to and acting on the wishes of the community.  Feels like a real partnership!

My opinion on current FW 190 cockpit. 

I really appreciate that you did something about the frame thickness, but the two major problems remain: Revi too high = POV too high = bad instrument visibility

[Krause]

I think that one of the reason of why we are dealing with all these issues with the FW 190 might be because the community keep pushing and rushing every week on the developers. Jeabus, give them some air for breath. It's just an opinion, I am just trying to understand what's going on.

Quite..and pushing in several different directions. And very rudely (in some cases).

Yep

 

Although I hope they're not finished, I'm happy with the state of the aircraft at this point.

I can wait until after release for further changes if they're going to happen.

[VBF-12_Snake9]

I cannot not get stabilizer to work on axis on the 190 after this patch.  Tried the 109 and it's fine, but the 190 will not accept axis movement anymore.  Worked before this patch and now it doesn't.  109 still works.    

[216th_Peterla]

Give them time fellas, it will be fixed.

Anyways excellent work on the overall product Devs, I'm really happy how its going. And nice pics of the Heinkel, its gonna be awesome!

[VR-DriftaholiC]

Great work on the FW190. It's enough to ease my concerns. But there is still room for improvement with regards to the dash height and revi

Wow not much rudeness or attitude! it is posts like this that make this place tiresome sometimes  forgive me if English is not your first language and you are using a translator program 

 

Anyway thanks for the update and feedback, He111 looking great

 

Cheers Dakpilot

Thank you for the quick attention to the Fw. It is important but now back on task for the overall sim. I know there are higher priorities and am on board.

 

I think the default POV and Revi still needs some more love but I can wait. When the time comes, move the POV to approximately this and drop the Revi accordingly and I think we've got a winner. If the second screen is what I can see with the adjusted POV I can just scrunch down a few mm to read the lower guages with my TIR. 

 

Again, I can wait.

It's not perfect, but it's much better than before. Cut them some slack.

[fjacobsen]

 Confirmed !!

I would not give up AA for refraction modeling. Sorry bud. Lets just see how this panes out (see what i did there?)

Oh, that was paneful, Hooves.

 

 

Thanks 777 for really taking the customer's viewpoint seriously. I can imagine with the game being so close to dead line that this was not an easy decision. Your  willingness to evaluate and change in view of the customer is quite commendable and appreciated by many here. THANX!

[II/JG17_HerrMurf]

Agree on the H Stab not functioning

[sport02]

no

no , for me in the first screen  the pov is more realistic even if we see less things , if you d' ont like  it you can move it yourself .

We’ve worked at the compromise solution that had been proposed earlier this week, and we hope that this new approach to the windscreen implementation would be more commonly accepted.

 

I hope that this is historic correct made?

[SeriousFox]

no

Yes, it might be with normal flying condition. But it should be lower when you aim down sights which means with default head position, aiming reticle shouldn't be visible.

I like the old one [right side]. Looks more realistic on the right Screenshot. Now it looks awful...............

Its very disappointed the decision what the devs made. First the draw distance reduce then the Fw-190 A-3 what comes next?

[Zak]

Draw distance has never been reduced.
