Another update today

[scoobe]

Don't know what was changed. I haven't seen a list yet but the autopilot is back (thank you!). Accel time is still limited to 2x (I can live with that).

I am sure we will get an update on what it was at some point today.

Personally I would have preferred the x16 over the autopilot.

Afwastus, can't they be brisk steps?

[Finkeren]

Seems overall good changes. Baby steps in the right direction.

Bomber's are also spawning really high now. I was at ~6.5k looking left and right searching for the friggin bombers when suddenly I check my front and bang, there they are. It was funny really.

 

I did this type of mission several times and they were never at this altitude, guess I'll climb up to ~7.5k from now on.

Same as yesterday. Baby step each day, I like  that. If that's how devs intend to finish it I'm suddenly less worried about future of this title.

Hi all,

 

you know what, I've been following the initial hostility to developments and the wild posts written by some players and was determined not to join in. But I've tried the initial few missions of the campaign today and guess what..............I actually enjoyed it. I can see how the die hard MP pilots are upset and why, but I can also see a balanced view of what the Dev's are planning and what they are trying to achieve by taking the sim in the direction they have.  

 

I hope that now the sim has had some tweaks to the campaign and hopefully emotions have settled a bit we can look forward to developing a great sim with a good community spirit.

 

Cheers.

WHY?!? 

I sometimes like to practice formations with the AI as lead. And mainly because the AI cannot keep a steady formation with the player even with auto level on.

[Feathered_IV]

Great news. Looking forward to checking out the progress.

I was 75% downloaded with yesterday's update when I had to shut down my computer. If I resume this evening and there's a new update as well, will I be in trouble?

Nah, should be fine, think it uses a torrent.

[indiaciki]

love the AP :D

[Feathered_IV]

Cool, thanks Afwastus!

[StickMan]

Yes, now get rid of the unlocks for MP and bring back the Eagles Nest so that the crying will cease and the fun can resume. Good job with the constant fixes.
