 are strange

You lock the tailwheel on the FW 190 by pulling the stick back

 

Thx my friend, it solve the problem for me

[Ala13_Kike]

yesterday, flying on bases at 8k, I've seen one strange object, like one brilliant object like the form or one "pencil" icon on center of bases at same altitude (8k), maybe one mistake at multiplayer map creation vs AAA radius, I don't know.

If you want take a look

[BlackBird_28]

Why i have to reassign my Controlls? And why does the ZOOM-function on my Stick do not work anymore?

 

every time the same.

2 steps forward 1 step back....

[heinkill]

for me all goes very good, freetrack, controls, framerate. One little lagg on servers, and menu flicker using full screen mode (due to my crossfire).

When you input your hotas or key controls, go after on curve configuration to check if they goes properly, using X52pro without his profile program for me all it's ok

[Urra]

Saw an uptick in server response times of about 15-20ms across the board after last update but that might be my area giving the issue. Will wait for a week or two and see if there are any changes. Otherwise everything runs smooth even before the hotfixes.

[tovarisch]

I see a blury effect on the horizon and clouds close tho the horizon in the servers. I do not see this annoying effect offline...is it my graphic card? or is it a bug in the servers. Any idea about how I can get rid of it? Thanks. It is also quite difficult to me to see the contacts in the game far away, they glitter.

Thanks for making this game better and better. Keep going.

Today's update on the Master server (no client updating is required)

 

- A plane destroyed by the gunner should now be counted as a kill for both gunner and the pilot. The Coalition points are taken only for killing the pilot;

- If a player destroys a plane (or any other object) after being shot down (while falling down in a burning plane) the kill points go to his stats anyway;

- If a player damages an enemy plane, and the pilot of that plane quits the flight while in the air, the attacking player still gets the kill points;

- If a player damages an enemy plane, and the pilot of that plane leaves from the server, the attacking player still gets the kill points, and the leaver gets death points as a penalty.

 

BEST news ever !!!! Many many thanks !

I saw it also. I thought it was an airplane at first, but finally I saw it was an UFO

Campaign now very stable but not entirely. Just had a CDT again (after about 20 stable missions). So HUGE improvements!

[pilotpierre]

I have had several instances (3 out of approx a dozen) of the black screen of death when I hit the start button for the mission to commence. This eventuates into there is already an instance of BoS running thus a PC reboot.

[2Yards2Yards]

Excellent update. Thanks !

Although some of the much-requested features are [still] missing, and undoubtedly require more time, it's good to see a steady stream of updates and improvements. Keep it up!

[BzKBravoZulu]

Hi Guys,

 

Can anyone (hopefully the devs) please tell me what do these messages mean and how can I fix it or if there is a work around. It arrived more than 2 patches ago. About half the tracks wont play and it seems entirely random which tracks give these messages and which ones don't. But once it gives me that message on track, that track just won't load not matter what I try. If you could look into it when you get the chance, that'd be great... But Please, if someone can tell me if this is a big problem that'll need a long time to address or if it is just an anomaly of the optimization/bug fixing process and should be corrected soon...  I am not going to bitch about it, I just want to understand.

 

I know the tracks are not a top priority, however, since I cannot play MP atm (20fps stutter / lag in combat) I thought I'd try make some player vids to help newcomers with all the things I struggled with when I started playing 1946.

 

I just want to say that I sincerely love the sim ... It's like a pretty young girl... all elbows and knees... knowing when she grows up she'll be a heart-breaker.

 

Thanks for the effort.

If the leaver leaves from the server how does he get death points? He isn't on the server anymore.

The server writes the log, not the players client. Guess everytime you leave while flying the server will take your "death" into account and log it in the statistics.

[SharpeXB]

since the 11/14 update I have crashed every time, 3 in a row

[johncage]

yep, way more ctds now.

[Yakdriver]

stil 0, in 15h of campaigns and some 15 hours online.

happy me.

I'm not sure when exactly we had the last full re-install of the game, but I'm pretty sure that recordings that are older than that can't be loaded anymore. Over the course of early access it happened quite a few times that older recordings became incompatible when new features were added. In your screenshot I see some recordings from October. Was it one of those that you wanted to load?

[tovarisch]

I see blurry clouds on the server...anyone else? I do not have this effect offline....

[Rjel]

I decided after the 1.003 version that I'd burn the Data and Bin folders, along with my current tracks to a couple of DVDs. One to avoid having to DL the entire game should I have a system crash. The other and it might just be my imagination, but with all the little hotfixes and updates it seemed after 3-4 weeks BoS would become very crashprone to me. Now I just delete the data, bin and update folders and plug in my 1.003 version and then run the update. That update might be larger but it seems to make a more stable game. I haven't had a single crash with 1.005. Knock wood.

Yep - after a great day yesterday with 15 or more missions with only 1 CTD, today I'm getting a new and different problem in my last 2 or 3 missions in a row - game just freezes up in the middle of the campaign mission (flying the Yak).  No error message or anything - just locks up.  I checked to see if the seeding setting or any of the other settings had been changed in the launcher, but they're all still unticked.  Not running any other software (not even TIR or my Logitech profiler) - just the game itself.

 

(BTW - I rebooted after each of these episodes, but the problem recurred anyway.)

Thank you very much. Wondered what the Devil was going on. Never had CTDs before. Now sorted.

Unfortunately, that's not the problem for me - seeding was still turned off, but I'm still getting lock-ups (would be CTDs except freezes up on the game screen and won't actually exit to desktop).  After this happens, I get the error message below when I try to start BoS again (even though task manager reports no applications running):

BOS Editor?  What is that !?

 

I imagine a reboot will solve it?  But editor?  I want one!

check your running processes - not applications.
for Win8, that is:

--> you might have a second instance of the editor running.

ah. and PM me a download link to that software, or i will imagine an evil way to torture you.

LOL - I don't even have a first instance of the editor running - that's just some dev's cruel joke/sense of humor about how to write an error message I guess.  

 

I don't know what those freezes were all about.  I just finished running another 8 or 9 missions successfully without any more freezes, until it happened again on the very last mission.  It was weird this time - not completely frozen.  The Esc key would work, and let me try to cancel out of the mission, but then nothing happened after I clicked on the accept/OK button except the dialog box when away and it just showed an overhead shot of an airfield.

Thanks Dakpilot, seeding was on, now off and havent had a problem today so far.

[TG-55Panthercules]

Well, today has just been a flaky day for me.  I ran 3 or 4 more missions without any CTD or freeze-up problems, but then on my last mission I finally survived in a FW190 mission, got 120 EXP (supposedly) in the after-mission results screen, but got no credit for it on the profile sheet

 

Hopefully things will be more stable tomorrow.

[pilotpierre]

I just had the same thing with a HE111 mission. Got 124 points but they werent credited on my 111 profile. The ¥€£%# unlocks are bad enough without not getting credited with what you earn, thankfully the 111 is the last one not fully unlocked, the rest of its missions will be on 2x auto.

[JG4_Nemesis]

Just Perfect!

 

This should once and for all solve the annoying dissconect / quit problem on MP dogfights.

[novicebutdeadly]

I'm now having the issue where air to air kills I make no longer get recognized

It started in campaign this afternoon, and also occurred when I did multiplayer

Edited November 16, 2014 by novicebutdeadly

[VRPilot]

same here, for some reason the campaign ignores my air kills. This is the first real SP problem for me, everything was fine until 1.005

[Shakey60]

Same here. Have flown last five or six sp campaign missions in FW190 with air to air kills, ground kills, mission accomplished, xp awarded but no progress or unlocks in profile. 190 profile is stuck at 334 points out of the total available. Also the 190 AI of my flight have crashed on takeoff every time, every mission flown as a lone wolf. At least the 109 escorts are keeping the enemy off me.
