Game version 2.006 discussion: DX11, Ju 52, Bf 109 G-4, Scripted Campaign, "10 Days of Autumn"

[Han]

Update 2.006

 

Dear Pilots,

 

today is one of the most important days in our project history. We just released the update containing several key features that open up new possibilities and future pesrpective.

 

First, this is Bf 109 G-4 release, the release of the first aircraft for Battle of Kuban, meaning that Early Access for Battle of Kuban just started. From now on, Battle of Kuban owners will receive regular updates that will gradually add more BoK content as it gets ready.

Second, the game now uses DirectX 11 renderer. This is an important milestone. It brings mainly performance gains, but it also opens up many possibilities for improving visuals.

Third, Ju-52/3m g4e is released. This aircraft brings many new gameplay features. Three new mission types for the current campaign - paradrop, cargo paradrop and cargo delivery. They can be used in complex multiplayer missions as well.

Fourth, new Scripted Campaign mode has been added and everyone can create and distribute campaigns, We'll tell you about how it's done in coming Dev Diaries.

Fifth, the first official scripted campaign made by Alexander -BlackSix- Timoshokov, "Ten Days of Autumn", has been released. This historical campaign tells about the events of one of the German squadrons during the Battle of Moscow.

[gnomechompsky]

Looks like I am now getting a solid 60 fps whilst flying in a formation of about 10 aircraft, even in windowed mode which normally sucks for framerate.

 

The game wouldn't let me start in fullscreen at all.

First test in QMB the game seems to run fine, update went through without problems here. Get your well deserved vodka me thinks, it's already late in Russia...

[PhantomRacer]

Fantastic effort guys, solid 60 FPS in all conditions.  Awesome job.  AMD 8350, R9 390 GPU, 16 GB RAM.  Can't really do much testing tonight but I'll be flying tomorrow.  Couldn't start in full screen either, not a big problem for me.
