Thanks a lot Gerd, will try soon! 


As for HSFX, sorry no idea what is different there.
Maybe ask at the HSFX forums..here and at the HSFX site.

Intentionally spared me the new fix for the pit to have something to look forward to.

Hi FANATIC MODDER

Thank you for writing the report.
But, please let verify the contents that I am not good at English.

Hi to you all.

I want to thank above all Gerd's for re-creating virtually for us these wonder planes, both two of the best piston fighter planes ever made. I am thrilled by 'flying' the F2G in the IL-2. It's like a ...lifelong dream! I was 14 when I first read about the F2G and I remember myself trying to imagine its pilot trying to master it ...

I'm glad you like so many people the F2G.

Since I am attempting a comeback to IL-2 and downloaded this fantastic mod, which is still being a WIP, I thought about making my contributions as a BETA tester. I hope my remarks will help Gerd in his work.
So, what is left to be done?

F2G's FM is not modified yet.(This MOD version of purpose is UV check for skinner)
Please FM check when FM is modified

For the F8F

 - apart from the cockpit, I thing the FM needs more refining. The way it is, just a sudden pull up after 350 mph is enough to break off a wing. Still, I think that generally is close to true one. The F8F feels a bit like a ...F4F with a double wasp! Good work.

I can't understanding it.
"The way it is, just a sudden pull up after 350 mph is enough to break off a wing."
Does It mean safety wingtip?
F8F-2 does not have safety wingtip.

For the F2G

- the engine cowling is moving up and down when I am trying to climb or dive
- the pilot is ..buried inside the fuselage, so wrong position of the pilot
- the sound of the engine, ok I never experienced live a wasp major but it doesn't seem to me accurate
- the FM of the plane, it seems wrong to me, maybe I am mistaken of course. Still the wings break just like the F8F
- the default skin needs different mapping so the stock insignia won't show
- the cockpit of course...


EDIT: The DM shows the amount of work that has been done, it seems like ..everything inside the plane has been modelled, that's a huge amount of work. Many thanks

I can't understanding it.

Would not show me a movie or screenshot if possible?

Even with a lot of delay, I checked the new versions...I didn't found anything strange, so these remarks are of the past...but...isn't the F2G too slow? Possibly it really was, but I was to ask people about it.

[Griffon_301]

performance wise, the F2G was not better than the F4U-4 and that was the main reason why it did not go into full scale production..of course the end of the war in the PTO, the appearance of the F8F and the new jets and dwindling budgets also contributed to the demise of the F2G;
but first and foremost, it did not offer any advantage over the -4 model, which was already established in the fleet, had a proven engine plus supply chain and could be mass produced in no time...

so check the F2G against a -4 model to see if it is really too slow it was not the über-fighter one might believe

[FANATIC MODDER]

Well, performance is not only straight speed but acceleration and rate of climb and I don't understand any noticable difference between the -4 and the F2G. This should not be the case, even in typical perfomance figures the rate of climb was much better. Another point, in the infamous 'RENO 74' F2G we can clearly watch a very noticable torquesteer that pulls the plane to the left which is not present in the model. The wicked sound of the wasp major is absent too. It feels generaly ok, but still something is missing for capturing the magic of this monster.

[SAS~Tom2]

Still voting making this plane the king of props for Il-2.

MY FAVORITE WARBIRD OF ALL TIME! GREAT WORK! ONE OF THE BEST MODS IN IL2. I did find one little problem though, the throttle seems to be transparent/cut off by the camera. Could you maybe steal the default corsair throttle as a quick fix? otherwise it is perfect!!!
