Developer Diary, Part 77

New smoke effect looks great. The initial vapor effect seems to disappear rather than fade away though.

[Jade_Monkey]

The bullet traces look amazing!

 

The new red circles in the map are not as pleasing though, I hope they streamline them.

I think the design on this title is amazing, so I'm confident the final release will look great!

[Sparrer]

S!

Very pleased about internal sounds that so many requested, and 109 starter sound as well. A little bass up engine sounds will improve even more, imo

Those cockpit animations are better than i might expect. Great!

Maybe in some day we will have at least a generic ramp start, since the animations are on and very nice

The maps aren't freezing anymore....thanks for the return!!!

15. Engine start when "hot engine" option is turned off was fixed

16. Engines start by AI planes and autopilot was fixed

17. Problem with howitzer which have continued to shoot while crew have disappeared due to close-up bomb explosion was fixed

18. Radio comms is not working anymore while engine is turned off

There are ghost for me. Every time when I shot down a He-111 all pilots and gunner ball out with no damage [whole piece]. Maybe I am to bloodthirsty?

 

This remember me the Developer Diary 1

 

18) Will be infantry (in any form)? It's important for the Battle of Stalingrad (for example, in air strikes on urban areas).

 

      No. You are a bloodthirsty

[rlk281]

Lovin' this game more every single day; the new smoke effects are simply jaw-droppingly good...thank you!

Maybe graphic settings? They live and die up there, I have recorded footage and taken screenshots with them in the He111, even counted two jumping out and gone back and found the others died before impact.

 

Even have one unfortunate bombardier start to evacuate, explosion and then he slumped back down dead.
