One question (unable to download it here):

Does the FW190A series still have an 'automatic' radiator setting? I'd like to send in a bug report if it is, as I believe it should be 'manual' only.

Feels nice.

I haven't been able to try it out in detail yet. Few bugs though:

1. I-16 engine still invulnerable to 7.92mm

2. Mustang cannot break engine with overspeed rpm. Got governor shot up and no problems to over-rev, just like Hurricane.

S! Ming.

Just like others have already mentioned, I just unzipped the RC1 into my FB driectory and allowed it to overwrite and then unzipped RC2 the same way and all was well, at least with my very limited test in QMB... won't be able to spend any time with it until later tonight.

I haven't tested much yet, but, it looks almost good until now. nice patch!

There is one thing that I'm not sure if it is a bug or not. P-40M's turn rate is reduced and its stall happens more frequently over 1.11. P-40M's Turn&Burn against Bf109G2 or G6 seemed to be ineffective while it was effective in FB1.11.

Having fun with mission building... there are a few significant changes in the MB.

Here I'm building an armed recce mission for P47s of the 404th FG, 9th AF on June 8, 1944 with Spits flying top cover

Hmmmmmmm, what about Emil's auto prop pitch? Kind of still feel quite sluggish and not running at the optimal RPM. But that could be also my poor flying.

Not sure the closed/auto radiator setting is working properly on the Mustang. At least visually, the shutter does not even begin to open until after the engine has suffered damage from overheating.

I would expect it to begin to open before you even receive the "engine overheat" message, much less before the engine is permanently damaged.

Oh, and level stabilizer has been banished from the game (poor bomber pilots )

I thought it was only removed from the fighters...

Just a reminder, gents (and ladies for the few among us ) don't forget to submit any actual bugs found with this testing to Oleg (address in the readme file... ok, here it is: il2beta@1c.ru) so that he can check them out. This does not include subjective feelings regarding flight models or damage models and the like, but actual bugs with the game. Thank you, carry on. S!

Impressions, the nose attitude behavior changed a bit, the nose doesn't rise like it used to at slower and moderate speeds in neutral trim. The band has shifted so you pull your stick a bit to much and snap out happens quicker. Good news is it's a bit more relaxed on the pull outs on normal dive angles, G on wings level gives you much greater stability.

La-7's have been tamed quite a bit, no longer the wonder zoom climbers. Pretty easy to leave them under, don't lose the advantage though, they don't exactly suck yet.

Really wish they'd fix that crazy twirling tumbly routine in the gun sight, just killing the stiffer flying AI. They got the horsepower to escape via dive and climb but opt for suicide every time. They're good enough preformers to compete without the cheap circus acts.
