Yeah, I wish Team Daidalos would work with the makers of UP3/DBW, and the map makers here at SAS (Cyberolas, SAS Bombsaway, GIL57, etc.) to create one giant updated IL-2. Forget about adding random planes that never saw combat and try to make the game better. Also, the fm's are great and now AI is good, but things that can be improved are:
1) cockpits: need more detail on the glass and panel, plus shadows, and maybe a dynamic pilot, 2) effects when you bump into something like a scrim-net or parachute lol (we shouldn't be blowing up), 3) plane models: need more 3d screws and detail, 4) thicker, more dense clouds (how about an effect where we can see condensation on the glass such as in BOB II, Wings of Prey, and War Thunder) 5) new maps: the old Il-2 maps are antiquated, so kudos to Cyberolas, Canon, Bombsaway, GIL57, Maybug, etc. for making amazing maps? Why aren't these-- and the maps in DBW--incorporated into Team Daidalos patches? They change the game way more than adding a B-24 bomber. Also, can anything be done about the 2d forest and square roads?
I'm not complaining just offering suggestions. It would be so nice to see UP3/DBW+New-TFM+4.12.1m all come together in one, single update from now on, but it is not up to SAS I guess.
