Game version 3.006 discussion: GFX update, numerous features and fixes

[Barnacles]

The smoke effects are great and must have been complicated technically to achieve. I hope this means the Dev's are able to simulate detonation eventually.

[JG4_Sputnik]

Thank you for another great update ☺️

[ROCKET_KNUT]

These new exhaust smoke effects are actually quite a good indicator:

 

Now he doesn´t see me...

 

Now he DOES!

 

 

Or he swapped the V12 Merlin for a Diesel...

 

Great update! Thank you so much!

Thanks for the numerous fixes, improvements and additions.

 

I apologize for what follows now, still have to ask it. I appreciate what you've done. That said: When do you plan to fix the A-20 firing arcs, the MW50 behaviour on the G-14 and the overheating of the Fw190 (in particular the A-8)?

 

I'm at work now and unable to test, I would like to also say thanks for the fixes and improvements - I'm looking forward to updating tonight.

 

I have to echo the question above though, especially regarding the 190A-8.

Is it just me, or are the WW1 hit effects a bit overdone, at least in VR? They sort of look like puffs of smoke and they're either twice as big as I'd expect, or twice as opaque. Other than that, me gusta. Can't wait to check the 1.8 ton bomb drop in more detail.

109s and Spits are making a contrail of smoke when using full power as if they have a wrong fuel mixture  but yak lags and la5 not. Why is that??

Haven' t downloaded patch yet...

Watching this video I see contrails of smoke....maybe similar to what we have now in game?

I like it, much better indication when you get MG hits when flying the 109. (also in VR).

I'm talking about the new wood effects on the WW1 birds. The debris is great, but the puffs of dust are simply too big. And as they disperse, they get even bigger. Especially in VR, with all the effects at minimum (the pic below is with max settings), it's particularly noticeable. 

 

Edit: I've updated the pic. In the right corner you can see the original effect on the lower wing, but the exact same effect at 50% size and 60% opacity on the middle wing. IMHO it looks much more realistic for a single bullet hitting a wood/canvas wing.

Tried the a8. Heating hasn't changed. 

[keeno]

Has anyone checked out the animation on the WW1 pilots and the German pilot bailing out on the DR1..........it looks fantastic!

Yes, I have been flying a few missions with the new patch now and it is very close to reality or what you can see on the vid. Very good work! Amazing to see how this game evolves!

[ITAF_Rani]

Cool....nice job Devs...

[Adj]

A nice update, thank you team!

[9./JG54_GERMANWOLF]

launcher stopped here ... how do I check the files, which folder did I delete to fix a bug that occurred in the installation?

[Talisman]

Great stuff!  Thank you very much indeed :))

 

Happy landings,

 

Talisman

[SCG_Fenris_Wolf]

Very nice indeed!

 

A-8, the most numerously built Focke Wulf, getting its treatment. By the way, has anyone checked if the overheating is fixed as well? I didn't see it in patch notes.

Way too opaque, but looks the right size to me. The wood chips look awesome.

Way, way, way too opaque.

How does one go about updating? When I accessed the game today, it went thru the download process of downloading, installation, etc. Game will not allow me to log in offline; online works fine. I get this message trying to log in offline:  "#10005:   Please update your game, new version available." 

Edited September 26, 2018 by fliddlesticks
Haven't posted but 2-3 time. I kept clicking on the button to post my message over and over, not realizing that it was posting it.

Made some test flights in Quick Mission, it was okay. Cant say more about it.

When accessing game today, it went thru the new update  process of downloading, installation etc.  Thenwhen opening the game and attempting to play offline, I got this prompt: #10005 Please update your game: new version available. I was able to play online. Hope someone can help. Thanks

I would suggest a fresh installation or if its steam version try validating the files.  

[JonRedcorn]

Man was just coming in for a landing in my battered F2 on TAW, two planes landed before me and one just took off, watching that 109 rip down the runway with snow dust and black smoke trailing behind it was just too freakin awesome, this is on balanced settings too. You guys definitely did some work on VR limits for a fact I know it this time, the 109f2 had a ton of space to move my head around in compared to a bit ago. It was quite something. Def some changes in the game that aren't listed.

[ShugNinx]

Thanks a lot for all those fixes and improvements !

 

I updated the game a couple of hours ago at very decent speed, nice improvement there also ?

Did you attempt to login Online first? Afterwards, attempt offline. ?

[wombatBritishBulldogs]

To put off real flight for simulated flight seems somewhat counterintuitive But not in this case ?

[EAF_51_FOX]

   STILL  no mention of improved A.I. --planes-- behaviour     ...............

They are quite aware of the AI issues. No need to keep harping on about it. 

[BadBud]

Do we know what are the two new aircraft to be released soon?

 

BadBud

[Adger]

Maybe if there was some "word" on the Ai issues a bit more regular from the team people wouldn't have to keep "harping" on about it Luke

Or be told "we heard you the 1st 1000 times" It just comes across to me has a sore point for the devs and "some" testers.

 

Overall its a really good update,and i want to thank the team for your continued work.

More particularly, he said that they know there are issues with the AI, that they don't have the resources or people to fix it, and that as soon as they do they will let us know.

Then i must have missed these guys? Like i said its a really good update I just get a bit miffed that when people ask about AI they get "slated" for it?

Its a 3.006 update and i believe we have a right to ask. I am enjoying the new effects and career fixes,thanks team

[SYN_Haashashin]

Hi all,

 

AI changes are not part of this version. You can discuss AI at all the topics open about it.

 

I will repeat the same as last week at the DD topic, All future offtopic post will be deleted without notice.

 

Haash

[SYN_Haashashin]

Adger, 

 

I have edited my post (dont know What I was thinking) not a DD but still, no AI changes so you can ask by posting about it at different topics about it. The answer is clear and said múltiple times, AI will be reworded when possible.
