HippyDruid Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Great updates lately (RoF n BoS). Well done, I might even dust off the wacom and have a crack at some skinning for a change. Cheers and Merry Christmas.
Guest deleted@1562 Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 An impressive list of fixes - that's a nice Christmas present for me.

Sim Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Can save correct format whit GIMP???? You may need this plugin for GIMP to save DDS/DXT5.
XQ_Lothar29 Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Save to dds format. You need nvidia pluguin for PS .. Edited December 23, 2014 by Lothar29
Brano Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Still buggy: the shadow of removed wheel pants is still visible; I don't know why. Any help appreciated! Ju87-test.jpg Does it mean that one can now paint his plane invisible?
URUAker Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 One of the most important updates so far. Can someone give first impressions about changes on th FM? that is key for me but wont be able to try for a few days
Yakdriver Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Does it mean that one can now paint his plane invisible? i tried... because i was freaked out. but when i modified the alpha channel, all it did was change the shine/matte effect, but maybe there is an other way. i will keep trying because i want to be sure. That would be very historically inaccurate indeed! anyone else?
Veteran66 Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Does it mean that one can now paint his plane invisible? This is why we can use the custom skins only offline
Requiem Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Does it mean that one can now paint his plane invisible? Yes, but it doesn't matter for online MP purposes. Only those who download your 'invisible' skin will not see you. If you don't have it then the default skin will always be seen. Edited December 23, 2014 by SYN_Requiem
senseispcc Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 This is my first skin! The spinner is red that is all folks! http://s17.postimg.org/j2v4cso9b/Red_spinner.JPG
D.B.Cooper Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Thanks a lot devs! This is a great X-mas gift! Happy Holidays!
alpenspion Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Thank for the update but 9. 'Return to base' command to AI was fixed does not work.
Bearcat Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 No not by us this time. The community can do this. I will gladly host them though. You should just need to have the skin in your game directory to be seen on custom MP servers. No special work needed as in ROF to control this. Jason That is very good to know. Is there ever going to be padlock in the campaign? Skins in campaign? (Not that the absurd diamonds on the tails of the Luftwaffe planes aren't ultra compelling). Will there ever be any sort of additions to the campaign? It is pretty boring and I haven't played in some time and when I have run it it has been with the game on autopilot to get bombs or gun pods which should be there already. What's the point of the game if it remains so uncompelling as to not be worth running on anything but autopilot? There are far more compelling iPad games with real campaigns (PanzerCorps, XCom, Bulge, Moscow, Etc.) Throw me a bone. I want to like this but you guys seem to be trying to sink any chance of that. The stock campaign will mostly likely remain what it is. Jason can chime in to confirm that as I am speculating here.. I think for many who find the campaign boring as all get out perhaps they should consider it sort of like having to drive through all the traffic to get out of the city in order to get to a vacation in the country. It's a PITA but necessary. As I have often stated .. I have issues with much of BoS as implemented like many do.. but for my way of thinking it is all a matter of perspective. I look at this like.. I want to get to my vacation destination.. I have to drive through the city on a Friday at 1630 to get out of the city .. and I can't leave later because there is a storm coming.. so my consolation lies in the fact that once I get through the city and across the bridge it will be a better trip and eventually I will wind up at my destination.. which is to have every feature unlocked that there is to unlock in this sim. I am not going to sit back and not enjoy what good there is because I don';t like how it is implemented. But that is me. Once the ME is released there will be other options so slogging through a "boring" campaign will at least have a reward at the end. Maybe stick to those? please leave the forum if you have to reply to every criticism with some sniveling sycophantic response. thanks. this is a place for adults to discuss the game. Both of you check your PMs pls Skins are huge, but... Unlocks? Custom graphics settings? Not yet... and if the unlocks are ever changed at all, it most likely will not be until after the Dserver and ME are finished... at the earliest. I know just as much as you do.
=38=Tatarenko Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 This is a fantastic update so thank you and enjoy your New Year when it comes.
Jason_Williams Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Yes, but it doesn't matter for online MP purposes. Only those who download your 'invisible' skin will not see you. If you don't have it then the default skin will always be seen. Correct. This is why we need a community member or organization to manage the collection and distribution of Skins. Each skin should be tested and examined before release to avoid silliness. Jason
Jaws2002 Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) I'm not a fan of the Default FW-190 skin and did a quick and dirty, what I think would go for a standard camo FW-190. free screen capture software upload pictures There are still things to do, but if someone wants to try it here it is: http://www.mediafire.com/download/5qmrafzquuju5s6/fw190a3_skin_12.dds Edited December 23, 2014 by Jaws2002 6
Bomred Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Many thanks. Much appreciated the commitment of the team.
Matt Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) I really think the winter skins need to be made the stock default skins. Indeed. And in the future, either the mission creator or the map used for the mission should determine which skin is used as the default skin (thinking about non-winter maps or even desert maps). Nice update btw. I especially like the sturdier radial engines, Fw 190 FM fix and how planes are now less likely to catch fire. Fighting feels much better now overall. Also thanks for the custom skins and the decision to use this kind of system. Edited December 23, 2014 by Matt
LY_LCT_unknwn Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Is loudout selection in multiplayer fixed?
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Indeed. And in the future, either the mission creator or the map used for the mission should determine which skin is used as the default skin (thinking about non-winter maps or even desert maps). Yep, probably best as a server side decision. Especially once there are multiple seasons/maps.
DeafBee Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Correct. This is why we need a community member or organization to manage the collection and distribution of Skins. Each skin should be tested and examined before release to avoid silliness. Jason Yes this is so awesome!! Great Jason!! Does that mean that each skin has to voted into the skinpack by the community like it does in ROF?
Jizzo Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Love you so much Devs, keep up the awesome work. Wish all of our lovely community happy holidays and a happy new year! ~Salute~
fjacobsen Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Great update If we only soon could get some better ground attack AI. In a flight of 4 IL-2's my wingemen sucked greatly following any of my attack ground target commands. They just fly around and only occasionally attacks. Maybe this also relates to the pooe bomber AI doing level-bombing using "Do what I do" command. Otherwise nice progress. FinnJ
CUJO_1970 Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 I'm not a fan of the Default FW-190 skin and did a quick and dirty, what I think would go for a standard camo FW-190. free screen capture software upload pictures There are still things to do, but if someone wants to try it here it is: http://www.mediafire.com/download/5qmrafzquuju5s6/fw190a3_skin_12.dds Awesome thanks!!!

Warpig Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) If it's true, it's a controversial change. I'd prefer not to have navigation icons on Expert. Does this mean I can see where my plane is on the map on expert? This would be so great!!!!! Edited December 23, 2014 by Warpig
6./ZG26_5tuka Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Personally I quite like the different approach. I'm very much lookign forward to making squadrom skins for my mates and the fact I don't have to get every single of them approaved first is a major relief
CorsairHundo Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) There's a program we used at iracing, this young kid devoloped it. We had thousands of different skins for all the different cars/classes. What was great about his program was the ability to dl the skins automatically when you were on that MP race but when you left the skins didn't stay on your HD. Although you had the option to keep them if you wanted to permanently. Prior to that you'd have to zip them and distribute to your league members. Non league races you were sol Correct. This is why we need a community member or organization to manage the collection and distribution of Skins. Each skin should be tested and examined before release to avoid silliness.

D.B.Cooper Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 @ senseispcc: that picture looks great!!
ST_ami7b5 Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Does this mean I can see where my plane is on the map on expert? This would be so great!!!!! Yes, the 'cheapest' way to finish the 'campaign' and unlock everything is to fly full expert missions and tap 'O' from time to time. I have discovered it a bit late, but it works.
III/JG52_Otto_-I- Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Version 1.008 ... 23. Rotary engines on La-5 and FW 190 were made more sturdy; ... Rotary engines from WWI ?? or radial engines of WWII?? Edited December 23, 2014 by III/JG52_Otto_Mas
