I have been doing some work with the stock Burma map using patch v4.12.2m. I only have a couple of Red Scramble missions done but I thought they might be a nice diversion for anyone who still might still be playing 1946. The files have been uploaded into this post. If the zip file does not create a Burma folder in your Quick folder then you will need to make one. The file path should look like this:
\Missions\Quick\Burma
Burma is a beautiful map but the airfields definitely have issues…
I am still looking at the airfields one by one to see if there is a stock workaround/trick I can use so the QMB missions are playable by just about anyone.
One workaround I am already using is to remove a misplaced copse of trees on the secondary taxiway at the Palel Airfield in Grid B6, Map coordinates 16.2 x 54.4.
I placed a Stationary Object Train Stock Car 8 next to the hut and had the AAA on the field blow it up.
Outside of being black instead of white it reminds me of a Propane gas tank.
When the rail car blew up it took out the misplaced copse of trees and the hut just leaving some barely identifiable hulks that do not interfere with the AI aircraft using the taxiway.
I used the Me-323 for my testing because as far as I know it is the largest aircraft we have in the stock game and if the taxiways function with it then it should function with any aircraft.
Been just over three years since the v4.14.1 patch was released by the Daidalos Team but that drought is finally over since the v4.15m patch was released today.
Flew an old Pacific Fighters single mission, converted to Coop style play, with some SBD’s landing at Pearl during the attack on Dec 7. Definitely got some unwanted attention before I could set her down.
Lol, I forgot to mention that I fast taxied into one of the hangars to keep from getting killed by the Zeros that were bent on destroying me. The closest call was just as I entered the hangar. The bullets from the Zero practically followed me all the way into the hangar. After that close call they stuck around for about 15 minutes after I was inside the hangar strafing the hell out of it.
Here is a neat video someone did in 2010 showing the improvements the visuals had made in the 9 years from IL-2’s initial release using the Black Death track as the basis for his video.

Actual in-game footage without any video filters and other editing comparing game 2001 default graphics colors and effects with my current modded 2010 game version graphics colors and effects by trying using split footage experiment.
What a nightmare to split video with Windows Movie Maker 2 !!!
Usually it’s copyrighted music that caused this problem in the past. If you still have the video, you maybe can upload it once more and see what the automated YouTube check says? But then, doubtful if it’s worth the trouble?
Outlook not so good
