Does the visual mod you use allow the footage of the destroyer at 6:57, or did you use a static camera. How did you get footage without any sort of HUD on the screen?
The visual mod allows you to look at ground objects, but in this case, i used a static camera. You could disable subtitles and other hud in the conf.ini for ages, since 4.12 you can simply do that in the options menu.
You need to download HyperLobby which is the multiplayer server portal for many older flight sim games including IL-2 1946. Most populated and active server is the Battlefields.com 1 server, which rotate maps and scenarios. There are also servers for players running the various mod packages.
What type of armament does your plane have? Guessing 8 .50 calibers in the nose, 2 .50 cal. in dorsal turret, 2 .50 cal. in the ventral turret, and 10 rockets. Are the 6 guns in the wings 50 caliber also?
Watching this am now yearning to get back into IL-2 again, but using Windows (w/Radeon), as my current Mac (OS-X) can't or won't handle the software. Go figure. But thanks for posting!
OK, finished that Bf-110 mission I told you about. I just need to polish the briefing text a bit, pack it and send it your way. Though, I am not sure if it will be up your alley ^^;
Well, if I'm free... sure, you can fly in Coop. There is one 120min. sortie for 8 110's, one 70 minute sortie for 8 110's... I might be free friday to monday, but gotta prepair for them exams ... (though knowing how lazy I am, I'll sure find some time ^^; )
Does Il-2 1946 have a "Cuba Bay of Pigs" add on? A-26's were employed in the Bay of Pigs and it would be fun to fly one of these great plans and win the conflict this time.
I've downloaded and played the mission. I have to say that i did enjoy it quite a bit, but could you add a Mission briefing of some kind in future mission. Just adds to the immersion in my opinion. Great video though.
***** could I send you a mission for you to try? it's in the Spanish civil war and requires only the VP mod pack and the Blitzkrieg Add on for the VP mod pack I've worked on it for about a week and it revolves around the first 109s sent to Spain. _lh3.googleusercontent.com/Pcb-wPeuQL5_Oa3zrysCDmLXYQW5SDKORF0PDFHMD-PHgGwZjF7dtM7Ih-NznGne4uV7CCg04w_
These videos are very good ... but which computer do you have ...? I am about to buy a new one ... and how to put the conf.ni for this ... an i7 7700k with a graphic card gtx 1070 and 32 gb of ram ... thank you and still making videos are fantastic
My computer's specifications are given in the video description. You can use the maximum settings, the game is 15 years old. If you want to know which settings work best for Nvidia, there is a wiki site for the il-2 conf.ini.
If I know that the game is old and this mods ... and every time better ... I have played a lot but always with stops ... and also I see that there are many planes in flight and you do not give them stops. .. that's why I'm going to change my computer. Besides, I already have a new one ... I've dedicated myself to creating maps ... I've created a personal ... of Cadiz, in Spain .. .. I may upload it to the network soon. But I've always bundled a bit with the configuration issue, especially with the I have now. That is about to go to the trash or for the boy .... thanks
None, it's stock, you just have to enable it in conf.ini (switch to OpenGL first) by changing the "water=" line to 4 or 5 I believe (don't remember, been a while).
I can make a little mission for you, if you want... actually I work on the Chalchin Ghol mission... but I can only work at the weekend, because my time is very limited :)
Too bad the mod doesnt include all thr loadout options for the A-26. In reality it could carry a pair of standard torpedoes in the bomb bay. Those would have made short work of the convoy.
Hey guys no offense intended but these videos were a lot more enjoyable back when you guys weren't talking through them constantly. Kinda takes away from the realism.
It's amazing how well this sim still holds visually after almost two decades, especially with mods.
Im am Lucky that You enjoy the creation A-26 of me and all the guys who helped me bringing this plane in the game :-) Cheers Docholidy
Great reference to Catch-22! Where's my parachute!
VP is the best overall WW2-oriented mod in IL-2 in my opinion
Jack Greb Why? BAT only has more planes but the sounds are better in VP.
cant you use both ?
Funny how out of all of those ships....
YOU GET THE SMALLEST ONE!!! XD
and the second smallest one!
Very interesting. Good commentary. No bullshit. Thank you.

i still go back to 1946, great battles is great but nothing replaces the 1946's simplicity and modding community the best.
Do people still play this together? I'd love to find a group to play with! I'm a total newbie though :/
yes, i'm playing with some dudes from time to time

omg people actually still play this thats gr8888
Misha dedogist I know but do you know how to add the 1956 mod to it? I tried but it just crashed.

Yes, but a typical A-26 could carry 14x 5" HVAR rockets
Are there Beaufighters available in Il-21946? Those had 4 20mm!
Yes, they are. Multiple versions are flyable.
a rlly beautiful video
I think you should use CUP or BAT if you haven't already
Was this created with the standard game (Probably on Steam), or a Mod?
How do you get the aircraft like the B-29 ?
I state all mods/modpacks that i use in the description of my videos.
Watching this am now yearning to get back into IL-2 again, but using Windows (w/Radeon), as my current Mac (OS-X) can't or won't handle the software. Go figure. But thanks for posting!
How did you record multiple angles of the same actions?
il-2 got a replay feature, i used that.
Can you run BAT/CUP with VP?
OK, finished that Bf-110 mission I told you about. I just need to polish the briefing text a bit, pack it and send it your way. Though, I am not sure if it will be up your alley ^^;
are you done? :)
found out a few problems when testing it ^^; (and typos, typos everywhere)
Nice, i downloaded it right away. Would you like us to fly it in Cooperative mode? And if so, would you like to take part?
Well, if I'm free... sure, you can fly in Coop. There is one 120min. sortie for 8 110's, one 70 minute sortie for 8 110's... I might be free friday to monday, but gotta prepair for them exams ... (though knowing how lazy I am, I'll sure find some time ^^; )

Yep, i can add briefings in future missions. I don't write briefings in most cases, because i don't need them for selfmade missions ;D
thanks man, like I said, I really enjoyed this mission
***** could I send you a mission for you to try? it's in the Spanish civil war and requires only the VP mod pack and the Blitzkrieg Add on for the VP mod pack I've worked on it for about a week and it revolves around the first 109s sent to Spain.

With this PC you can just max everything the fuck out, it will work flawlessly. Remember this game is almost 2 decades old
Vaht are zay sinking about?
What mod is for that water
None, it's stock, you just have to enable it in conf.ini (switch to OpenGL first) by changing the "water=" line to 4 or 5 I believe (don't remember, been a while).
Is this mod downloadable? If so where?
Please open the description
What type of plane is that?
A-26
Fishyyy thanks
no problem and by the way it's in the video title
Fishyyy oh.... my eyes are bad i didn't see that........woops
Fishyyy, can you make video with Mistel
I don't know how to aim and when launch it.
I can make a little mission for you, if you want... actually I work on the Chalchin Ghol mission... but I can only work at the weekend, because my time is very limited :)
Bro Floyd you do not have waste time on me. I will learn somehow, but thanks bro :))
it works with the bombsight... adjust bombsight left, right, up, down...
You can also check out my channel if you want... :) I work together with fishyyy, but I'm recording more Live-Vids... I'm not a great speaker... ^^
Bro Floyd I will check your channel. Thanks for help.
Fishyyyy you sound like Werner Herzog
.50s worked just fine with B-25s vs. Japanese ships.....
Too bad the mod doesnt include all thr loadout options for the A-26. In reality it could carry a pair of standard torpedoes in the bomb bay. Those would have made short work of the convoy.
Too bad the Invader isn't in the vanilla game, as they were in widespread use by the USAAF during the final 9 months of WWII.
Shouldn't turning into your dead-engine wing have got you down in real life...?Just asking, no sarcasm implied.
I don't know, never flew an A-26 with only one engine in real life ;D
Banking in to the dead engine with a B-25 is lethal, I tried that myself on Il2 1946. I had expected the A-26 to behave the same way - to crash
That kinda ax looks like a mosqito
A26 invader was great american bomber attack ww2 plane, powered by two r2800 engines and armed with machine guns bombs and rockets
I didn't know this plane
fish, are you German?
yeah
