hi Pablo
it's me again, with some more ideas of possible extra functions for the menu.
basically, i just want to throw these ideas out there, if any of them become reality, all the better - if not, so be it
i would like to be able to give a sub-set of minor technical commands, to my flight only would be good enough, but if it can work for more, also good.
this would include the ability to command the flight to do things like open canopies, use nav lights, landing lights, tail-smoke and such sort of things.
i was using your control menu to quickly cycle through my flight of hurricanes, only briefly taking control, opening the canopy, and then taking over the next plane.
the result was a cool scene of my flight of Hurricanes all flying line abreast with their cockpits open
so, this was the inspiration for this request.
thanks for reading

+1 Eugene, Please Pablo!

just a few screens i took to illustrate how cool it is to fly with my own offline aerobatic team, lol...






woo-hoo!

[SAS~Bombsaway]

Cool.

[BravoFxTrt]

Wow, how'd you do that?

[SAS~Malone]

i explained the trick in my previous post

the only difference is, in that post i was talking about opening all the canopies, but the principle is the same.
cycle through your flight via the 'take control' option, quickly switch off autopilot, press whatever action you want - smoke, canopy, lights, etc and then switch autopilot back on, move to the next plane and repeat

That is funny Malone! It is possible to do that, but some of the functions should be investigated. In fact I consider that the easiest way is to intercept the HotKey management and there replicating it to the other planes of your flight.

For the while I don't have time for that, but I don't know in the future.

People, I realized a bug me myself introduced when trying to make the external movements completely fluent.

The outside views were not properly working in stereo, and if you paid attention they looked shifted to the right.

Now they are centered and tremendously crispy and sharp as they should have been.

It is now updated in the first post!!!

+ One on Eugene, that in effect would make IL-2 more realistic since in real sims you can command your wingies to do such things like "fence in" (Lights off), fence out, smoke on, etc.
My 2nd idea would be a way to disable that damn textual hints when an enemy is inbound on the Migs, so arcadish, totally breaks immersion to see text on the screen.

Thanks mate!

Can I suggest to update the mod date also in the red download post text....

[SAS~Bombsaway]

I am sorry if I missed it but when I added the new download, the game refused to enev load at all. Is there a fix?

Hello again, I have a question about the known accepted resolutions when using Modact and Visual mod 8. I seem to not be able to use my native PC monitors resolution (1680 X 1050) or my 3d monitors native res (1920 X 1080) only res above 1280 X 1024 thats allowed s 1600 X 1200.
When mod-select is set to no mods it allows my native res but not if I set to modact ?. any ideas here?

Nice mods though...even in 1280X1024! But no stereo (other than red blue) on my 3d monitor needs to be native res of 1920x1080 to work properly.
