Is that the map you mean or is there another in the works?

You won't be disappointed. Note that one of those weapon hit effect mods requires disabling a similar mod in the modpack, or at least removing a few files from it. It was called EFFECTS something. I'll check this when I get home.

There's 2 BoB maps in the making. 1:2 scale is fine for me, the maps include custom built airfields (real photos of the RAF fields used as reference), new buildings & objects and tons of more cool stuff I cant remember atm.

@Fincuan: When I can be arsed to tweak my "Bullet trail" mod and finish it, I'll give you a shout. I think you'd like it. No more trails ala stock IL2, but white smoke following the bullet ala BoBII & RL guncams.

EDIT:Oh and a word of caution for the users of mods. There is conflicts with the host using stock IL2 and hosting a mission where the mission maker havent checked the "AI only" thingy for unflyable planes.

I'd be happy to try it, so please do send it to me when it's done.

The one I have now is actually quite good, and looks a lot like the guncam vids I've seen. Curving white smoketrail instead of the lazers a la stock IL2.

YOU THOUGH I FORGOT, DID YOU!? :p

Noooo, I didnt! BoBII has the best and the most human AI ever made in an combat flight sim. The IGN review says it reacts slowly, and it surely does that due to the AI having reaction time. They dont have eyes on their back, so you actually sneak on in your enemy without him seeing you. Great game!

Seems weird to me that someone would go through so much effort to get the details "right" given that the 1:2 scale means that the entire map is going to be wrong. Might as well stick with the Gulf of Finland! But, each to their own.

The other map is news to me, I'll do some digging, thanks for the tip

Where can I find these mods? Also I read about one that changes the IL-2 Core files what exactly does it change about the game and is it worth having?http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=140430 heres the link.

Those I listed you can get from a site where we can't post links due to Subsim's rules. Google il2+mods and you'll find it. The "core files" listed in the other thread are official and released by the developer of patch 4.09. Depending on your system they might change things or not, but back up the old ones and give those a try. It's only a few files, so you can always ditch them if you don't like them.

New (Oldish already, just tried it today) great mod from the community:

Buildings in fire + new explosion effect mod!

Quote:
Time to another mod which maybe many was waiting for, this mod changes two effects in game,
first the bomb explosions (will change also the effect, when aircraft crashes down) effects and
the second one! yes it will add flames to buildings and other static objects like trees, controltower,
maskingnet and... so load you plane and burn the cities and airfields, Buildings
in fire
effect will last about 2 minutes and 10 seconds, it is out of my knowledge to give
it more lasting time maybe someone else could do it! It tooks several days and many tests
(restarts of il2) to make and adjust this mod, so don't try to make the flames higher or bigger
because i tried many options and it made the flame unrealistics, it was only some advises.
Anyway good luck and enjoy your new mods.




The explosion effect looks great in-game, pic cant give a good picture of it in action.
