Wilches: Indeed!!! I'd LOVE to have that feature!!! Dialing in the cockpit positions for the crew is tiresome!! (at best)!!

Training Day

Hello Pilots, Stormbirds summed up the new updates for Cliffs of Dover. A series of updates over the last several days have focused on the work that Team Fusion Simulations is busy doing turning IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover into a VR supported sim. That’s not all because they are also busy upgrading the visuals of the sim with higher resolution textures and TrueSky technology for new volumetric clouds. Here’s the latest! Try and find the bombers in these clouds Higher resolution textures, VR support, and volumetric clouds round out the headline features of a future visual update coming to IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover Blitz and Desert Wings – Tobruk. These veteran sims are getting one of the most significant updates in the series’ history when it comes to core technologies and the inclusion of the new cloud technology, on its own, will likely be as transformative as it has been for other sims that have employed it. I couldn’t agree more with this statement from Team Fusion. Have a look at some of the screenshots below or check out even more 4K resolution images here. As of yet, no release date has been offered for this update and work appears to be ongoing on this project. Still, it seems like we’re getting closer to do the time when it will become available. It should be very interesting to check out when we get there. More to come!

I love this forum, and appreciate the work the mod developers have done over the years to keep a humble sim going. I remember buying Wings Over Europe at a Big Lots store and then, a few months later, buying Wings Over Vietnam. My memory is a little foggy but I remember mods from Fast Cargo, Wrench, a slew of others, and then I think Fifth Column? Can't remember. They released the NATO series (I think). I've always had fun with this sim. Until recently. Got busy and the HOTAS started collected dust. So, here's how my last few missions went down. The mission was for a flight of A-7s to provide close air support - no problem there. My wingman was ready to go and so was I! So, I pushed my throttle forward. Nothing. Everything was plugged in right ... That's right! It's the other throttle, Nope, not that one either ... Are these things even being detected by the game at all? I pull the trigger and blow up some stuff on the deck.... oops Okay that mission didn't happen ... nope. We'll just uh, check the settings and try again. New Mission - the first mission. Close Air Support ... no problem. My wingman was ready and so was I. Pushed the throttles forward and get off the deck. I raise the landing gear ... the tail hook drops. I raise the flaps ... the air brake deploys I retract the air brake ... I'm told that the wheel brake can't be set while in the air. I turn on the radar .... and my wingman goes down. Okay that mission didn't happen either. New Mission - the first mission. Close Air Support ... no problem. My wingman was ready and so was I. I pushed the throttles forward and get off the deck. I raise the landing gear and the flaps. I got the radar on. No one is dead yet. ... Progress It's going to be a long flight and I need to skip the time ... no problem. ... it's CTRL and something ... no it's SHIFT and something ... ... no it's ALT and something ... ... or it just a button ... yeah it's just a button. Guns set to caged mode ... Map Screen opens up ... I'm off course Flares got dropped Chaff got dropped Flares got dropped Radar range increased Radar mode changed Flares got dropped Map mode activated I'm headed toward a new country all together. ... ALT + N ... riiiight So, know we're over the action! My squadron destroys the enemy forces with ease ... I helped till the soil in certain places ... but I got some kills too. All right time land on the carrier! Hook down, wheels down, flaps, ... the carrier decided to make a left turn ... and I bounced off it like a basketball. Y'all I was laughing so hard myself. I hope that little anecdote at least gave you a chuckle.

Your best bet would be to use Normal HUD (as it is also better in my opinion) and then just turning it off with ALT+D I just looked around the F-8E cockpit and found nothing that shows my ripple interval and quantity

I am uploading the versions for both su-27 and su-27u with the structure of the ailerons repaired that were not in the model plus some improvements in landing gear cables

The day he completed and launched his map of the Río de la Plata, he would adapt it for the campaign of the 1955 revolution. where the Argentine Air Force would face the navy and naval aviation, Uuguay would also participate with its P-51 and HELLCATS, escorting defecting aircraft to Uruguayan territory. imagine Gloster Meteor, Pulqui I (new), pulqui II,IA-30(new),IA-37(new),IA-38(new), Lancaster,F45UNL(new),P-51,Hellcat,AT-6D Texan, Catalina, new aircraft carrier Independencia.

'Black Tulip' F-100D Super Sabre

Polecats!

my 3.5 cents... I have to disagree. Upscaled stock F-4 skins still look like old ones. Nothing better, nothing worse. Still has the same old level of quality. I would rather stick to available 2048x2048 templates. Way better and are available here since looong time. And if matched with the same quality bump maps...can give excellent results. as for small ground objects. Maybe, not sure. I have no opinion on this. Stock objects are quite simple models so there is not much hope for great improvements. For me, it is still the same old object with a higher kB size on your hard drive. I have replaced around 80% of stock ground objects with custom models...so even if those occupy more space on HD - ...well different quality.

Greece... is the word!
