Developer Diary, Part 72

72

 

Hi Everybody,

The traditional Friday update is waiting to be deployed for you later today. And while Loft and Jason are on their challenging business trip visiting the America’s most popular gaming media, we here at the studio are preparing all kinds of improvements for BOS.

Ammocounters that many of you have been waiting for are going to become available on both Bf 109 and on Ju-87. A nice improvement has been made to the DM - it is now possible to cause damage to enemy’s machine guns and cannons and practically disable them. There are also going to be visual changes - you’ll notice that we’ve implemented vapour trails and wingtip trails that often appear when a plane reaches critical angles.

 

FW 190 A-3 that some of you are eager to see in the game is planned to be released next week. And as we’re doing our best to make it happen, check out this short flight video featuring the fighter.

[sallee]

Winger. Wake up...are you okay?

[Mags]

I'm in heaven! I just saw a FW-190-movie from the devs!

 

Great other improvements too. It is going to be a great sim!

 

Thank you!

[LLv24_Zami]

Awesome news. Nex week will be hard to survive:)

Thanks for the video and i cant wait to see the new effects.

CU over Stalingrad.

[Voidhunger]

Thanks for the great news! I hope that we'll see this update sooner than the previous one

[Zak]

Ah, one more thing that has just popped up - a DM improvement. You can now damage the bomb racks, so the bomb would drop. I hope that's a proper explanation

[FlatSpinMan]

Time to say goodnight, VVS (although idiots like me will fly the 190 all wrong and allow you plenty of chances to down it!).

That thing just has a sinister beauty about it. I love it! I find the 109 far easier to fly and do well in, but I love the 190.

[Feathered_IV]

Nice plane.  Needs two more radial engines though.

 

 

[FlatSpinMan]

Wha..? Ohhhh. I see what you did there.

We can but hope. Community 3D modellers and FMers, get on it! It'll be the fastest (only?) way we'll get the Tante in-game, I reckon.

[Eldur]

One more week... finally we'll get a German fighter that is armed...

 

Wait... this isn't Oleg's World

 

We'll get a fighter that cuts through anything like butter

[Pringliano]

Great news Zak!

 

Thank you so much for showing us that beauty!!!!! 

 

And great new features waiting for us too - this get's better from weekend to weekend 

[Yankee_One]

Great news. Cant wait for the Würger

[Nankeen]

Woooohoo, Awsome! The 190 sounds great. And man, it does indeed look very sinister

Great news, on the ammo counters and DM.

[Livai]

The today update force me again to reinstall the game because of the Error "Checking Version" then "failed to update".... a never ending circle...........

 

Lets see what the update improve or not?

[SYN_Mike77]

I don't think the update is even out yet is it?

[Nankeen]

Correct, no update yet.

[PA-Sniv]

Looking forward to see BoS contrails at sunset!

Cheers,

[FlatSpinMan]

No update yet. They'll let us know when it's available. Look for the green background.

[Nankeen]

Can't understand why so many people have problems with updates? I just followed the Devs posts.

[III/JG11_Tiger]

Im seeing a download of 168.3mb so I guess the update is out?

[smink1701]

GREAT news.  Still no cockpit visuals??? Considering how long they've been working on it the cockpit must be a work of art.

[FlatSpinMan]

Tiger - did you grab the mid-week mini-update? That may be it. Or it may well be uploaded but they haven't yet announced it.

[Voidhunger]

no its not out yet.

[Nankeen]

Developer diaries:62 and 64 provide good information on updates. I followed these instuctions and have had no problems with updates. Hope this helps  the folks that are having problems before update 72 is announced

please repair the setting of the convergence 

[ST_ami7b5]

That 190... :)

[Brano]

The moment Fw reaches skies over Stalingrad I will switch to different sci-fi (Elite Dangerous)

[[SJ]CatoLarsen]

My first post in here should be a positive one so I will start with. Yay, good work. Looking forward to this and next week now.

[6./ZG26_5tuka]

Nice engine sound demosntration! Could use a little more bass (Bass, Bass, wir brauchen Bass!) to sound more "powerfull" but it's still amazing.

 

Ammo counters are good addition indeed so are the vapour trails! Will make fighting more interesting and easier to predict stalls.

[SR-F_Winger]

Winger. Wake up...are you okay?

[71st_AH_Hooves]

Well im actually half relieved. My entire g940 flight control system just went tango uniform. And i ordered a new system saitek x-55 amd saitek combat pedals. It all gets here on wednesday

Edited July 18, 2014 by =SE=Hooves

[Tball]

Great update.

 

Is it easier doing deflection shots using pedals? How big an improvement are they?

[Rivet]

My first post in here should be a positive one so I will start with. Yay, good work. Looking forward to this and next week now.

Bloody 'ell! It's the Tiny Viking! Hello Cato

[LLv34_Flanker]

S!

 

 Fw190A sure looks nice. Can't wait to take it out for a flight Any spesific changes or additions regarding the visuals? I understood that the bomb rack can be damaged and ripping off the bomb if you pull too much G? Or am I completely wrong? There are maneuvering limitations with bombs attached. Have a nice weekend all.
