I hope Ranwers doesn't mind

Here is a little update on one of my all-time favorites:
1. Managed to get a few gunsight Modes like:
-
Unguided Rockets, for use with S-8 Rockets.
-
Unguided Bombs for use with everything that is a freefall:
2. Different
Autopilot modes, something that should bring you closer to a real autopilot of a modern jet plane:
Altitude hold mode:
When engaged, autopilot will hold the altitude at which it was engaged. The good thing that like in real life, you will be able to control aircrafts controls and systems and also you will be able to change the direction of your plane or even do a barrel roll, because AI takes control only over your elevators
.
Direction mode:
Use this mode in order to keep the current heading constantly. Like in previous mode you have a full control over everything in aircraft but now except your ailerons, so you can freely change your altitude and be sure that plane will not change its direction. Very useful in a windy weather in some clouds or rain.
Navigation mode:
Works same as a default Autopilot in stock IL-2 that we all used to. But again you have a control over everything in your aircraft. Currently it also controls the throttle in this mode but I want to disable it. And of course this mode is not as effective as the original full-AI autopilot. It will change direction more slowly, can be a bit wobly sometimes, and it won't land for you or attack anything. Just fly through the predetermined waypoints, that you have set in your FMB. Just like in RL
3. Other fixes updates etc.
Numerous code and FM changes and updates and fixes so I am too lazy to list them all.
Here is a just few screenshots for you guys to enjoy this beautiful aircraft:
