Developer Diary, Part 146 - Discussion

[Han]

146

 

Hello everybody,

 

Another hard working week has passed. Since we finished physics optimizations for AI controlled aircraft, AI revision for all the planes in the game was mandatory. During this revision, their piloting and attack maneuvers were improved in many ways. As the direct result of this, update 2.007 will bring not only the double performance level of AI controlled aircraft (meaning that the same number of AI planes will require twice less CPU time), but also the improved quality of AIs - there will be a lot less jerky movements, AI handling will be more fluid.

......................................

Fw 190 A-3 physics revision is finished and will be included in 2.007 update as well.

......................................

Our artists have finished He 111 H-16 3D model and its weaponry is already recreated in the sim, including the German 13mm MG 131 machine gun which is new for our project. 

......................................

In addition, we finished the Bf 110 G-2 development and start its beta testing today. This means that 2.007 update will bring this plane and other announced additions to your PCs prety soon.

Great stuff Han!  Thank you for this unexpected dev diary

[[CPT]Pike*HarryM]

Looks like it will be a good update!

[Finkeren]

Awesome news all around.

 

Despite all the new stuff I can't help but being most excited to see, exactly what has happened to the Fw 190. I almost don't wanna get my hopes up, and I really hope people aren't expecting it to suddenly turn into the easiest ride in the World.

 

AI optimizations and improvements sound really awesome too.

[76IAP-Black]

Great Pics! Thanks for your work guys!

[Nil]

As usual, FANTASTIC job on the new Heinkel!

I hope we will get a mg131 for our Junkers 52 one day!

Agreed, the new He 111H-16 and Bf110 G2 look a bit more imposing now.

Any news about SLI fixes? There is a topic here https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/26732-sli-working/ Even though the title says SLI is working, it is actually not since the change to DX11.

 

Thanks for the hard work!

Lets see the performance of the Mg131. Im so interested on that because the G6 will have this machine gun.

Really?

[Piciu]

Everything sounds great but what about annoying stutters which many of us have now in multiplayer after last update? Any word of explanation would be nice, because after this problem occured we didn`t received any answer from Devs.
We have three threads in "Technical Issues and Bug Reports" section about this and completly no solution from Devs:

https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/26850-horrific-stuttering-makes-multiplayer-impossible-dx11-patch/

https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/27338-game-stutters/

https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/26746-trackir-and-ffb-working-together-cause-terrible-stuttering/
 

I hope that Developers have read that topics.
