Jade_Monkey Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 Would love some sneak peek at the Typhoon with rockets or the fuel management. Even better, a typhoon with droptanks!

Even better, a typhoon with droptanks! I think we are already starting to see some of the fuel management stuff bleed into the sim, going by the patch notes regarding fuel tank damage behaviour in the last patch. IIRC there is now a different chance of exploding based on how full the tanks are. 1

So probably next update then will have the Fuel tanks modeled. IIRC they stated before it would come first on the BF-109 and then go to the other planes, but that was a while ago. Maybe they are looking to reveal it all in one go.

Nice catch!! I'm really looking forward to it for some reason. The reason is definitely not that I need more fuel. It's just such an iconic feature.

The reason is definitely not that I need more fuel. It's just such an iconic feature. I'm looking forward to what happens with regards to the damage modeling regarding fuel. If the system is better modeled then more realistic fires, incendiary ammo, and better modeling of leaks etc. is all more feasible. I suspect that flying online primarily I won't have much call for using drop tanks but the rest of the system benefits. 1
ROCKET_KNUT Posted May 6, 2021 Posted May 6, 2021 Late o' clock... Too late o' clock, to be annoyingly precise. ?

DBFlyguy Posted May 6, 2021 Posted May 6, 2021 Kinda bummed this will be three weeks on with no newsletter now... hopefully this isn't a trend moving forward.

This is normal. Sometimes there's constant updates. Sometimes, it's all quiet on the western front for weeks at a time. Depends on what part of the cycle they're in and if there's anything interesting to share. Edited May 6, 2021 by ShamrockOneFive 1

ADorante Posted May 7, 2021 Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) This weekend is Victory day on May 9th, last weekend was May 1st and orthodox Easter on May 2nd, it's a holiday week. So I guess the absence of new DDs is caused by this. Edited May 7, 2021 by ADorante

kestrel79 Posted May 7, 2021 Posted May 7, 2021 Ah that explains lack of DDs. I was hoping for this week for something.
40plus Posted May 7, 2021 Posted May 7, 2021 Happy holiday week to our Russian brothers and sisters. See you next week when we'll all be tweaking and twitching with DD withdrawals 1
Diggun Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) Fuel system stuff? Can it be fuel system stuff please? I've been very much enjoying the new fuel tank state dependent fires and explosions - those 110s blow up reeeeal nice with almost empty tanks - and I want to know how long it's gonna be till I can tuck on a cozy slipper tank on my spit...

BlitzPig_EL Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 Typhoon, and/or P51B/C please. I don't expect the 410, Mosquito, and Arado to be out any time soon. 1

BladeMeister Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 The good news, Jason hasn't posted a no DD this week statement. The bad news, no DD yet. The other good news is I am off for a 3 day weekend. The other bad news is, no DD yet. S!Blade<>< 1 1
kestrel79 Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 Are there still Russian holidays this weekend? Fingers crossed!

DBFlyguy Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) Maybe with the devs currently working hard on two early access projects (BON and FC vol. II)...numerous core improvements ongoing... and probably even a few unannounced projects there is actually absolutely nothing at all worth a single sentence or picture for an entire month. Totally possible. /sarcasm Edited May 14, 2021 by DBFlyguy
