Do we have any idea when we will get the final release?

[14./JG5_Droz]

I'd love to get those new flight models in their proper places.

[Blaubaer]

Any hints concerning the topic?

Can we get RC4 released to the public to test?

[[URU]Fox]

I believe an announcement will be made when they have some news about it. For the time being, seems that developers keep on working on it as much as they can.

[StG77_HaDeS]

We are ironing some final exceptions, really minor things, and the one thing we wait is the final Flight Models.
I don't have an ETA for the FMs but when they will be finished the final 3.0 release won't wait more than 1 week.

Cheers!

You must be an insider.

Its summer time I hope they are taking advantage
of the warm weather and not turn on the computer
too often.

The modders look a bit pale they need a bit more
sun.They also need to look at short shorts and
bikinis too.    

We must not be too selfish people.

[Jermin]

please do raise the default head height of 109 pilots in the cockpit view so that we don't have to duck our head before centering TrackIR.

[439th_WTornado]

There is a wishlist addy here for requests.

They don't do miracles.

Jermin, there is a mod compatible with UP 3 for that.

Put it in #UP# and it work fine

If you want, I don't try it but there is one for all plane:

Edit:
I just install the second link and it work too
Je viens d'installer le second lien et ca fonctionne parfaitement.

[Jermin]

Thanks for the tips, bomber!

Did you mean by saying compatible that I can use that mod on spits_vs_109_Mods?

[Bomber]

I want to say it work but I don't know if people think it's cheat but me I use that on server because in BF 109 it's really dificult to stay behind enemy with stock view.

Je veux dire que ca fonctionne mais peut être certains dise que c'est de la triche mais moi de tout de facon je l'utilise car rester derriere un enemi est tres dificile dans un BF 109 avec les vues par defaut.

[Jermin]

Thanks for the answer. I confirm that it can be used on CRT=2 servers. But I don't think the mod is perfect. Because you have to lean foward lower your head quite much in order to see the reticle, although I like the cockpit visibility. I hope someone will make a better one in UP3 final.

 In fact, I think the current 109 cockpits of all variants are way off from reality. Replica's 109s for FSX make it right. Is it possible to rebuild the 109 cockpits from scratch?

[Schwarze_Acht]

You think wrong Jermin, the visibility in IL2 out from a 109 cockpit is almost 1:1.
I know this very well, believe me

Really? Let's compare the cockpits of real Bf-109s and in other sims with the ones we have in game.

This is the cockpit of a real G6:



This is a G6 cockpit layout drawing:



This is the G6 made by flight1 for FSX:



And finally, the G6 cockpit in IL2:



I fail to see the cockpit shown in the above picture is anywhere near the one shown other three.

Bf-109 has a very crowded cockpit, which can be clearly seen in the following video:

Cockpit of Messerchmitt 109

But the cockpit we have in game gives me a feeling that the cockpit is quite roomy.

And the cockpit struts are wrongly modeled in game. They are just too thick. And the two front vertical struts should be nearly paralleled.

[StG77_HaDeS]

Thanks for the answer. I confirm that it can be used on CRT=2 servers.

It CANNOT be used in crt=2 servers or the Servers you have tested this are NOT crt=2.
DF Servers and clients must have exactly the same configuration regarding additional addons or crt=2 error will occur.

[Schwarze_Acht]

Have you checked you eyeline in both pictures? you are much higher than sitting in it with tighten belts.
Second, I don't know what fantasy instruments are there in that HSFX cockpit, if the struts is the only fault in the UP version I have to say that I prefer more an accurate instrumentation than anything else.
Look for yourself and you will see that almost EVERY instrument in the HSFX cockpit is wrong....
About the video:
I know it, if you look well you easily will see that the guy have more than 1,85m. body height, I bet he have also problems in any other WWII fighter cockpit 
I have 1.72 and fit perfectly in a BF and have not one of the problems he have 

Besides, did you took the picture? the canopy was open in some museum without warnings?
Then its IMPOSSIBLE that its a REAL cockpit because they are SEALED with a hazardous warning.
The old instruments used a phosphor coating which was radioactive

I'm wondering - will contain the final version of the UP are beautiful and realistic effects? Or we will have to finish all the eye candy? I see UP in this form  Effects Mod for IL2 UP3.0  and I like it.
