76.IAP-Blackbird

What record are you talking about, the game progress of your character? Or recording tracks?

I have two installs of il2 on my PC, the official and the Tester version, i can't confirm your statement, can you pls post a screenshot of your problem, so i can check it.

null?

Hello everybody, While, as you know, we're working on several projects at once, today we'll tell you about our the current main one - Bodenplatte. The most important new tech we're developing for it is the FM improvement to take into account the air compressibility and its influence on the aircraft stability and handling that is noticeable at high speeds. The late war aircraft are a pinnacle of the piston engine technology and they can approach the sonic barrier, especially in a dive. And of course this new tech is paramount for our first jet - Messerschmitt Me.262 'Schwalbe'. You may have wandered will the new tech work for the existing aircraft released before - it certainly will, we always update all aircraft to take advantage of the new tech so they all have the same modeling fidelity. Meanwhile, our artists are working on several 3D models simultaneously (some are nearly complete and the work on others has just begun): Bf 109 K-4, Me 262 A-1, P-47D-28, Fw 190 D-9, Hawker Tempest Mk.V and P-51D-25. We also decided to improve the recently released Fw 190 A-8. It will be able to carry 1000 kg SC 1000 bombs with reduced ring stabilizers and "M8 Panzerblitz 1" HE rockets and you will be able to remove the nose-mounted 13 mm MG 131 machine guns, resulting in four different modifications of this plane: Fw 190 A-8 (fighter) Fw 190 A-8 Sturmjäger (better armoured interceptor) Fw 190 F-8 (attack plane) Fw 190 G-8 (fighter-bomber) So, while it may appear we have only one Fw 190 A-8 in the sim, in fact, you'll have 4 different modifications. This is also true for many other aircraft - in one of the coming Dev Blog releases we'll compile the complete list of aircraft including the possible modifications. Since the words are best followed with visuals, today we can show you the WIP screenshots of Messerschmitt Bf 109 K-4 'Kurfürst', Republic P-47D-28 'Thunderbolt' and Focke-Wulf Fw 190 D-9 'Langnasen-Dora': Our map designers also have something to show you today. In Dev Blog #193 we presented the early European map prototype. At the moment, th designers are working on the road network and settlements. The total amount of settlements will be around 300 including so many towns we have never modeled on one map before. To be able to finish this work in time while modeling the general layout of the cities and towns the special settlement block designer tool has been created. This is a small teaser, a Western European town made using this approach (this is not a particular historical town, but a test layout): You can discuss the news in this thread

I'm patient...

Perfect!

Hello everybody, The time flows and significant changes in our main project, Bodenplatte, are on the horizon. Lead engineer Andrey Solomykin has started the huge chunk of his planned work - air compressibility modeling at high speeds which is a must for the late war period when the aircraft speeds approached the sonic barrier. At the same time another engineer, Roman Kovalenko, is modeling a new device type in our project - turbosupercharger. The main difference between a turbosupercharger and other superchargers we already modeled in other aircraft is the fact that it is powered not by the engine shaft, but by the turbine which is rotated by the engine exhaust. Therefore, the manifold pressure created by the turbosupercharger at different engine modes has a much more complex formula and requires a much more complex physical model. The first aircraft in our sim that will have this device is P-47D-28 Thunderbolt. In the next update, we plan to improve numerous aircraft graphical effects and make minor improvements to the netcode. Meanwhile, Pfalz D.IIIa and Sopwith Camel are being developed for Flying Circus Volume I, the work on new WWI pilots animations has also started. For Tank Crew, M4A2 "Sherman" and Pz. IV Ausf.G are in the works. Both of these tanks have interesting peculiarities and we hope to model most of them in the sim. Today we can show you the first WIP screenshots of one of them. In addition, the work on the detailed buildings for Prokhorovka map will be finished soon. We begin the AI development for player controllable tanks and will start the work on implementing additional tank systems and their damage modeling, tank commander functionality and tank radio communications.

F-15C, the next version will be the one with the "knob" on the top nose, parts are nearly ready Planed version will be: F-15A F-15C F-15C "late" You guys can use those versions and create your own stuff with your skins, each version with a different skin needs a new "pilot part"

Svetlin is right, this is just a visual fake pilot part upgrade i did for my own fun, i have no access to the max file of the F-15 from MF

Im still working on the right shape, i need to push some polys around to close some tiny holes, but that is the current shape and level of detail. If you guys have anything to add inside the pit, bars, struts .. pls share the info with pictures here F-15A

Good thing is, the parts are working, bad thing is .. it is the old SF1 model, it is working better with this old model

After Vacation, visiting eastern part of Syria

Dear Pilots, Summer is winding down and we’re getting back to our normal work schedule. Here are some early pics of our Me-262 model. Looks fast doesn’t it?

The conversion will be easy as hell Lets say 2.5 weeks

Hi im currently on vacation, i needed a break. Cause After more than 9 month of continues work, i was unable to finish my stuff. After my return, i will release it but i need some ini tweeks to hide the original planes geometry in the pit view. When it is solved i will release a Kind of base pack, so you can paint those parts and create your own version for your favorite skin. Same for the Su, im using just one skin as my favorite one. If you have any suggestions for Upgrades and parts, just Post it here. So far, see ya and Best regards from greece

Thanks for the new terrains

There is a nice tu-22 mod Pack from Alessandro, many Nato planes, great Tomcat Pack and some nice mirage 3 mod Packs, love them. Im waiting for a little mig19 Upgrade, the fitter are not ready yet but im pushing

Kevin, i believe there are some guys out there like Carlo or enoc, who would like to finish it, if its just the skin work

I feel more at home in the oder sf1 menue, it Looks more like the one from Janes ATF. Thank you for this mod, i will definatly enjoy it. Best regards Martin

Dear Pilots, It’s the summer holiday season and many team members are taking their hard-earned vacations. So, as a result our ability to give you super detailed Developer Diaries is diminished a bit. However, we have the first shots of our American P-47D-28 “Jug” in the engine. The cockpit is under development and these shots are of course Work In Progress. She’s turning out to be quite the beauty! We hope you enjoy! You can discuss the news in this thread.

Add another Version to our list, you can count on it

Maybe

Lets see how it will change with the P-38 and 51 together with the Me-262

The BM and SM on the Fitter is great some other SF2 action, what a great compilation of planes we have later i was shot down, but who cares
