IL2 Modifications

Dowly · 08-07-08, 08:40 AM

Atm, I'm only using few mods on-top of the soundmod, but are they cool!

My 2 favorites are the high resolution cockpits for the 109 and my own new fire mod for burning planes which uses the flames seen on the rockets/rocket-engines in the stock game. No more fireballs spawning from the damaged plane. :p

I need to get back to modding and figure out a way to make the flames of burning engines etc. to emit light, similar to when guns are fired. Would look darn cool in night missions. :hmm:

As for mods in general and what all is currently available, all I can say is WOW! With what the modders have to work with, it's just damn impressive to see what all there's been made already.

I see some ppl starting to work together on mods, so I'd say after few months we just might have first big mod coming.

Actually, I'm surprised how few bigger mods there has been. The coding stuff seems to be pretty simple, atleast the particle stuff.

Ah yes, Nightfighter campaign is on the top of my wishlist aswell.

I think you can get to fly the SpitMkI in action when CanonUK finishes his BoB map. :hmm:

D** where are all these mods! Ive searched the far corners of the internet(with the help from google) and I cant find a thing.

I am tierd of the stock bf 109 sounds.

I'm finding it hard to believe you've searched the far corners, since a simple IL2+mods gives you the correct answer right on top of the list

I found them. Just not looking good enough.:rotfl: I guess I didnt think the wedsite would have mods.

Task Force · 08-07-08, 01:01 PM

Oah yea did I mention I was exadgerating.:rotfl:

onelifecrisis · 08-07-08, 07:45 PM

Anyone care to list the "essentials" and save folks like Task Force and I from trying dozens of mods to find the few good ones?

Pretty please?

I read about someone making a BoB map, but they were making it at 1:2 scale

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

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
