How times have changed

[HagarTheHorrible]

Whatever happened to the what's happening on F5 Friday threads ?

 

Have expectations of change really fallen so far or has everyone just worn out their F5 keys ?

[Finkeren]

I started one last week. Didn't want to be the one to initiate twice in a row.

Every time an F5 key is pressed, an angel votes Yes.

I've stopped now.....

[Finkeren]

Now that Hagar has made the first move:

 

I'm expecting some news on release - propably a slight push of release date into mid october, nothing critical, and a glimpse of the SP campaign - a video or something, not yet in the EA version itself.

 

What I'm hoping for:

 

More SP content (it's time)

 

Full implementation of CEM (including various tweaks, all manual overrides implemented for German planes, posibility of manual startup procedure)

 

Tweaking of the DM to make fuel fires a bit less common, especially from flak damage

 

Realistic capabilities of the AAA (primarilly traverse time and inability to engage low targets for heavy AAA)

 

Fix of the negative G bug on the German fighters

 

Fix of the supercharger bug on the Fw 190

 

Final fix of the cloud issue

 

Posibility of an expanded HUD with all critical gauges present for full CEM

 

Implementation of proper bomber AI

There really wasn't much in the last two updates that was discernible, we need something to breathe a little more life into the sim.

FMB, carreer mode, skin templates, fully customizable graphic settings and a first screenshot of the Ju 52 would be my guess.

Say what? The last update brought huge change in form of revised Fw 190 ground handling (which happened to also work wonders for it in the air) new HUD and icons.

 

If you mean there was not much content added, I agree, but what did you expect? BoS is on home stretch, and the devs clearly aren't ready to show off the campaign just yet. What exactly is there to add to an already just about complete sim?

[=AVG=Zombie]

Single player campaign, gun convergence........... summer map, x-wing fighter, P-39, P-38.........  

[Leaf]

They said they were working on gun convergence, so that might make it in. 
Maybe some bug fixes. 
They're probably completely focussed on SP right now, so I'm not expecting too much.

Lend-lease planes

 

 

 

 

 

 

One can always hope

[Emgy]

I've stopped now.....

In that case, I now have two reasons to hammer F5 

[dburne]

I personally do not think we will see any additional SP content until the released version - I do so hope I am wrong, because I have lost interest at this point until we get some SP content, namely the campaign.

[TCSEllis]

Convergence and a pair of tinted goggles.

[Rjel]

Convergence and a pair of tinted goggles.

Rose tinted please for some of the Negative Nellys.

 

I'd hope for some missions and gun convergence. I'd love to start skinning too.

What??? a P38???

 

above all, I'd really like a summer map. I'm over winter.

[312_strycekFido]

actually usable inflight map would be nice, but im probably hoping in vain    

[SCG_Neun]

FMB, carreer mode, skin templates, fully customizable graphic settings and a first screenshot of the Ju 52 would be my guess.

 

I'm right there with you on this Matt....We can dream anyway....

[IIN8II]

Convergence was being tested for this weeks release. Let's hope it's done!

[JtD]

Maybe a fix for the Fw 190 performance.

[Blooddawn1942]

Single player campaign, gun convergence........... summer map, x-wing fighter, P-39, P-38.........

I'll take the A-Wing fighter.

I hope it comes with convergence and some decent fiel mods. :-)

[Mags]

Map Tools for navigating

Convergence

Correction of FW supercharger

Bomb wiggle

...and I want to start skinning too...

 

Have a nice day everybody!

Why all this hoopla about templates and skins, as in RoF you won't be able to use them in multiplayer unless they go through some mysterious vetting procedure and are included in a downloadable

skin pack.

 

Which was and is one of the worst features of RoF and this sim.   I mean it's not like everyone plays on dial up anymore so bandwidth is not the issue it once was.

[Feathered_IV]

I think the devs said they have different plans for skins this time.

Not sure how "mysterious" the skinning business is in RoF simply go to the forum and read some of the 1600 topics in the Skins and Textures topic and the comprehensive stickies on skin making and instructions on having work included in skin packs

 

But we shall wait and see how the skinning is implemented in BoS...it may well be different

 

Cheers Dakpilot

That "mysterious" vetting procedure you speak of is to prevent cheating in multiplayer.  

[Jaws2002]

Yeah, right. Like they couldn't have found a way to fix that, in the last five years, has there been a will to fix it......

[LukeFF]

Yeah, right. 

 

Yes, I am right.

Fix what, exactly? 

[Jaws2002]

Yes, I am right.

You said they implemented the voting for skins to prevent cheating in multiplayer. I guess you are talking about the transparent skins.

They could have fixed that a long time ago, if they wanted to.

I don't see anything to fix there, because it's actually a feature of ROF skins to deliberately make certain parts transparent. That way skins can be made showing different variations in engine covers, wheel spokes, etc. The approval process is there to ensure that people don't take that transparency feature too far in multiplayer and thus give themselves an unfair advantage.
