27 septembre 2018 IL-2 Great Battles 0 comments 1833

Pour une fois cette version du soft ne contient pas de nouvel appareil au grand dam de nombreux joueurs.
Les 2 prochains (BF 109 K4 et P-47) n’étant pas encore aprèsles dév ont quand même décidé de sortie ce patch aux vues du nombre impressionnant de correctif et d’ajout disponible. Cela concerne aussi bien la partie graphique, que technique et multijoueur.

Tracer smoke effects improved (more smooth and realistic);
Wingtip trails effects improved (more dynamic, less apparent beginning);
Water hit effects improved (more realistic);
Aircraft and vehicle hit effects improved (more difference between AP and HE ammo, more realistic, added debris);
Bomb detonation effects improved for 250kg + bombs, additional flash effect;

Water steam overheating effects added;
Wrong mixture exhaust effects added;
Wood hit effects added for WWI aircraft;
Gunfire smoke effects added;
Oil leak during flight effect adjusted;
Fuel leak effect on the ground added;
Water steam effect on the ground added;
Oil drops on pilot googles effect was added in case of engine damage;

Simulation fixes and graphical effects fixes

The water hit effects no longer appear like ground hit effects;
Bug fix: He-111, Bf-110 and Pe-2 right engine hits won’t damage the left engine cooling system anymore;
Bug fix: Spitfire Mk.VB/IXe oil radiator leak will stop when the left wing is lost;
Bug fix: Ju-88 A4 right supercharger hits will correctly damage it;
Bug fix: engine fire now correctly works on all planes;
Bug fix: damage of the engines far from the cockpit (and the oil leak on Spitfires) won’t make the cockpit windows dirty;

Other improvements

You can set the starting altitude up to 10km in QMB;
Projectiles now can be stopped by trees;
Fw 190 A-8 modification: removal of two 13mm MG 131. This allows to model the bomber variant of the plane; some Sturmjager modification aircraft also had tem removed;

While driving, AI now takes into consideration all nearby vehicles instead of the vehicles of its group only;
AI has learned how to control the advanced (player controllable) tanks, they can be used in missions;
The water in all water cooled engines boils at different temperatures depending on the altitude;
Fuel actually burns out in an event of a fuel tank fire;
Fuel tank fire intenisity decreases when all fuel is burned out;
Fire intensity directly affects the speed of structural damage;
Fuel fires are extinguished when an aircraft hits a water surface;
Mission generator toolset released (you can download it here and unpack into your IL-2 install if you want to try it);

Other fixes

Simple vehicles (not controllable by player) physics modeling improved. They shouldn’t ‘fly’ away from collisions as they sometimes did before anymore;
German aircraft of Bodenplatte timeframe carry bombs of a different color that was used in the late war;
German aircraft of Bodenplatte timeframe carry SD 70 fragmentation bombs instead of SC 50 which production was canceled in 1943;

The game server and clients won’t crash when a player controlled tank impacts the ground, for instance, after falling from a damaged bridge;
Multiplayer net packets won’t slowly increase in size over time;
Multiplayer net packets now have their CRC checked, this should improve the data transfer stability;
Net load decreased by optimizing the data packets carrying graphical effects data;
Statistics system accuracy increased (this should fix the situations with unaccounted kills);
Minimum starting altitude in QMB on Novosokolniki map has been increased to 250m;
Sharp texture changes were corrected on the Stalingrad map near Golubinsky;
The pilot won’t be injured by the wing fuel tanks fire on Bf 110 E2, Bf 110 G2, P-39L-1 and Yak-7B series 36;

On Fw 190 A-8 with F-8/G-8 mod the 20mm guns stay on the same fire trigger with MGs;
Radiator assist on MiG-3 and IL-2 won’t overcool the engine at high altitudes;
Pe-2 series 35 upper turret correctly shows ammo left in HUD;
Yak-7B altitude mixture controller corrected;
Coolant overheat warning in technochat corrected;
Damage system performance optimization should decrease the CPU load;
Radiator assist closes or opens radiators in a more smart way;
