Hi pilots!
Today I am honored of carrying our weekly developer diaries duty, and I am pleased to share with you the news about our work on the IL-2 BoS/BoM/BoK physics model.
Usually the "1C Game Studios" engineering department conducts parallel developments on several fronts. This past week has been no exception.
The first news I would like to tell you is that we have completed work on the development of the physics model for the Yak-1b 127 series, and now the aircraft is under internal "factory" testing. We plan to pass it to our beta testers in about a week.
Historically, the Yak-1b ser.127 was the result of systematic refinement and improvement of the Yak-1 during its serial production. The main external difference between 127th and the early series is...

Coming back to the most important results last week’s work on the aircraft physics model in IL-2 BoS/BoM/BoK, I would like to emphasize the fact that we finally managed to complete an important research carried out under a physics model further development task, announced back in 120th developer’s diary. We were able to establish the root cause of some excessive roll reactions of our aircrafts on the rudder.

Another interesting subject we touched during last week was an additional investigation of the MiG-3 behavior on its landing gear.

November has set in and we have the first snow on the ground here in Moscow last week. The smell of winter is clearly felt in the cold air, but it is hot as usual in the "IL-2" flaming skies over Stalingrad and Moscow. And to throw some firewood into the bonfire to make sure our pilots are not getting bored waiting for the arrival of a new war machine to the front, I would like to conclude by sharing with you the official set of Yak-1b 127 series color schemes.
See you in the "IL-2" sky!
