Fantastic, thanks for the hot fix! Great work, guys! :salute:

Great update, thanks for the hard work! :cool:

 

Any news concerning the problems with clouds and AA of objects in front of them, so far is the most (and nearly only) really annoying thing for me in this sim....

Great! Especially 15 and 16!

With the latest update, just completed 8 missions, 3 of which ended with BoS has stopped working.

I did about 6 missions in the campaign and got a black screen when starting the 7th no reports, just restarted and working.

If it's such a privacy issue to people, then why are they putting their real name into a computer program that doesn't specifically need it? If anyone thought they should put their real name in for purposes of being addressed by their name while the game is installing, or wasn't under the impression that it would be your in-game name (why else would it be asking), then I'm pretty sure their "private" name being on a video game is the least of their worries.

Apparently you are calling me stupid

I object!

I've installed many applications where a colloquial name is requested at the installation point for usage only during the installation process. This appeared to be the same. I also presumed that if the name was for a wider purpose then there would be an ingame option to change it like most other games I've ever used.

Please don't try and pass of this very dubious bit of design and coding as a user error, that would be extremely unfair and unwelcome. I'm a professional software developer (senior for a huge company) and my team wouldn't leave a basic error like this uncorrected.

yes I'm well aware of your problem, you do realize these guys are Russian and when they started the EA, well the meaning for Pilot and real name was lost..

go there and start your ticket I'm sure they will fix it for you.

No. All I got was a 'we hope to offer the ability to change it in the future' response.

Seriously unimpressed by this guys!

The problem is that the question wasn't clearly formulated and after just putting in my address and billing info in paypal to buy the game I guess I simply continued to believe they needed to check my real name with my payment or this was like in ROF career mode where you can create several pilots with different names at your leisure.

Anyway this isn't a mmo so why would our usernames not be changeable? Why couldn't they put in a name check that would tell me Alexander was already in use? Why did it put a number at the end and think I was happy?

 

Are you saying this is good game design and it's the users fault? 

 

Looking at the amount of players in multiplayer servers having a number after a common name like Michael8 means there has been 7 other Michael's before him who did the same mistake and put in the name Michael. I was the third Alexander but I've seen a guy called Alexander9 online as well so it's definitely a common issue. 

 

Anyway I couldn't care for any privacy stuff regarding this, I just want my squad mates to see when I log in and are playing. This issue separates me from the online community and makes the game is less enjoyable. I'm actually seriously thinking about buying another premium copy tonight but I'm unsure if I will miss any founders rewards then.

Any chance of being able to change the friendly/Enemy colours?  Every time I try to change the to red-friendlies/Blue-Enemies in the game options it reverts back to blue friendlies/red enemies.

Can this be fixed please.

For the last umpteen years I have been flying with red friendlies and find it difficult to adjust to it being opposite. :biggrin:

 

Cheers

It's just a modern thing... 'Blue' forces are friendly.

'Red' forces are enemy.

I had 2 random "BoS has stopped working" today at Campaign mission end whilst unlocking the Pe2. Also probably a misprint, but in the description for the 2 x FAB 500 bombs they are described as 2x 250kg  bombs. FAB 500's are 500kg yes?

But game has possibility to revert it to historical were for soviets were red and enemies (germans) blue.But it does not work and it confuses me a lot.But luckily no friendlies harmed so far :biggrin:

LOFT said that they'd do all the "polishing" after the release and until then they're mostly concerned with major bugs.

Dont worry,I will not cry for refund just because of this ;)

Some people may  :)  On the Russian forum there were quite a few posts from some guy strongly criticizing the game because the Red army wasn't red. Apparently for him it was a deal-breaker.  :lol:

Um ... silly question I'm sure BUT, what does the number that appears above your nik on the Hanger page signify?

Wich will have an influence on skill of AI planes and AAA.

 

If you rush the campaign the fastest way it will not be interesting ... If you take your time, it is awesome ... Much more immersive than MP.

This means that the wipe that we kinda planned has been cancelled. And we don't plan to do it.

 

WOOP WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!

 

PM me your address so I can send you some vodka.

I agree. This adaptive campaign idea is a really cool one.  Simple for a start as you (the intended newcomer, not a one year early-access player) get used to the controls and orient yourself on the map, then it builds and builds. I think it is a really good idea - like a tutorial that you hardly even notice.

Skill of the AI planes seems to be purely random and as far as i understood it, the AAA becomes harder depending on the stage of the campaign, not the player level.

That's what I thought... can this be confirmed?

New patch makes campaign missions full on. However I've tried 3 times to play today with my limited time, all have ended with the game basically paused, sound looping, however things like gunfire hit affects on the ground keep looping, i can turn the hud on and off and access the options menu. 

 

But the game just hangs, I have to kill it in the process tree. Have not had any issues and I mean no issues before this patch.

 

To me it seems as though cannon fire is setting this crash off, seems as though hit animation or something is doing it. 

 

So basically game is unplayable now.

No issues in campaign missions other than the wingmen AI don't cover me. No freezes/crashes/etc.

 

But it is definitely not more immersive than MP given a properly designed MP mission. It's very static, contacts always at the action waypoint. That don't happen in MP, you have to keep scanning the skies and expect the unexpected at all times.

First thank you guys for the patch good work !

 

Question about the watermark ingame. Will this be removed soon?

 

Also the founder bar ingame is silver for me instead of gold..

Last night I was halfway through pilot level 5.

Tonight when I loaded the game I'm halfway through level 4!

Something is wrong methinks.

Hmmm... you know, I thought I had a 7 and today it was a 6.  Thought it was just me losing it.

Also, not that it does any damage but the game crashes on exiting a high percentage of times.
