Tested the IAR-80/81 .. please do not lets us down..

[GOZR]

Please really make more efforts with 3D models and textures 

-Radial engine sounds is inexistent ( should sounds more like a Harley  * )

-Buffets sounds and canopy etc. are so fainted 

-Canopy handle is much too thin.. beside all aircraft canopy thickness 

-Canopy VR limits box is to narrow and almost all aircraft.. Should be better tested pre release

-FM should be really studied more carefully and each their specific characters .. goods and bads

-More precise engine managements responses 

-And a must missing torque

 

This apply to all aircraft but specifically tested the latest IAR-80/81 (on my 2 first minutes)

-Please better test aircraft before release ( I can )

 

( CG-4A Glider and soldiers are fun well done )

First of all it needs a fix, looks very poor, I hope soon and not after a year as long as I waited to pre order 

PRETTY PLEASE!

Not only the canopy (buble part) has problem with this but small, front trinagle windshield too:

It might be a bug, for me it works fine even in VR...

Here actual strong handle to pull

A quick search to give what an radial sound like more.. in real it is much more pronounced  .. like a harley .. I flew a lot

 

 

Vibrations.. importance also in damaged props

Turbulences and weathers perfs

and on and on easy finds.. but if the virtual pilots are not aware of those problems they have no idea but by having them it add a lot of realism and GOOD difficulties..  ( closer to this extremely important factor )

A good FM is a theoretical performance on aircraft abilities on the frame envelop and engine in relation with the atmospheric physics .. clouds.. pressures .. turbulences .. cold .. heat.and relief grounds or water masses 

 

Check the cockpit frame in relation with buffets and turbulences ..  vibrate .. move.  in rl you feel a lot.. adding visual is important.

I love those talks.. love to add the feels on the IL2 aircraft it would be a great step forward onto the right direction.

 

 

 

 

Same..  observation is key.

 

Amicably yours

 No it cant, perhaps you have reflections and shadows off on the canopy.

Canopy looks like it's made of corrugated iron.

Nope, I have reflections and shadows activated as well.

So perhaps I have better eyes ?. Its visible even on official screenshots:

There are some updates planned for the IAR 80, so please re-check these things after they are published.

Btw. Found in the net, the same issue, 2D picture, so maybe you're just less attentive (sorry from my side ) :

AT-6 ?

The weird corrugated look is gone now. Actually put in effort to test it. I opened the cowl flaps all the way to see if it made any difference to cooling, but seemed to climb faster than when fully closed, at least if that's the cylinder head temp gauge to the left of the altimeter with the red circle in the middle.

 

Kept RPM at 2300, mostly, and MP at 850 but engine randomly conked out. If that gauge I referenced is the cyl head temp it was below 120 so shouldn't have been that. Real first test with it, so will have to figure it out. Keeping the RPM in check is definitely going to take a lot to become muscle memory.

⚠️ Canopy is fixed! I checked and now its ok, like in the rest of models from IL-2 BoX! Thank You and thx for quick fix! ?

True, the model is quite demanding and it's easy to miss something in combat, but practice makes perfect

I was never happier to have a throttle and prop pitch bound to an axis. But man this bird is nimble - I like it.?

Only made a couple of airstarts for now cause I cant use my right leg for the pedals (surgery).

But when this is over, I'll see what mayhem it can make.

Still keep blowing the engine. Found out the first problem was where I thought 850 pressure was actually 900. So tried a flight doing my best to keep it between the hashes that should be 840 and 860 I think,  rpm at 2300. Engine eventually blows after like 20 or so minutes. Tried keeping lower pressure and just below 2300, same thing. Guess I'm going to have to run technochat to see what's not right. 

 

Found out if you do a bunch of sick stirring your pilot gets dizzy with blurry vision and controls get a little sloppy until he recovers, pretty neat and hadn't noticed that before. I had jammed a landing gear on the IAR and was hoping if I kept raising and lowering the gear while throwing the plane about the sky it'd eventually come loose but not modeled. Such a rare occurrence doesn't surprise me though.

It's the oil temperature gauge.
