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

[JGr2/J46_Sturm]

Has anyone experienced extremely long down load time. At 4+ hours now still down loading.

Never mind LOL it just finished. It still took extremely long. could have been on my end.

Everything is perfect!!!!

But only one thing frame rate is unstable now.

(i7-7700k, 1080Ti, 16GB, BENQ XR 3501 144hz Monitor)

(I know because 144 hz monitor feel the frame rate more sensitively.)

 

So I want to play in Balance in Graphic option.

I really wish Balanced and High in Graphic option have same clouds quality.

Clouds In Balance Option (even Clouds Quality is High) are too low resolution now.

 

Please Let us choice Cloud Quality in any graphic option.

 

That is perfect for 144 hz Monitor user or VR user I think.

I knew about this. and I already did this MOD.

but this cannot be used in public server like Tactical Air War, Wings of Liberty, Berloga.

Cause this only can be used by MOD enable.

So separate clouds option is still useful IMO.

I Wish this MOD would be put into the game its self so that we can fly on-line servers  . 

Talking about on-line . 

Still greyed out start button . !

Still gun bugs . !

No hit sounds what so ever this equals silent kills . ! 

Still poor visibility of air-frames too the background . 

Airframes disappear when near clouds . ?

Three years down the line more content coming out . 

So please lets fix these bugs ..its been going on a while now . !!!

Thank you Devs for the nice update. 

[E4GLEyE]

Just wanted to point out something amazing! So far I have been struggling with the mixture settings, nearly always let it on 100% (which is not very efficient to say the least fuel consumption wise) and now I just noticed, with the introduction of exhaust smoke being visible, If I adjust it, the heavy black smoke disappears when (I presume) I have the right setting for the mixture (no overburning fuel)! This is awesome! And yet an other small detail that lifts this sim so high up in my book !!! BIG thanks for the devs! Amazing stuff!

What button do I use to put trees on my plane?

Ctrl+E puts trees on the pilot's face.

Well pilots face on the trews but anyhoo. 

 

 

Side note I think it is impossible to actually land on a tree.

[69th_Panp]

funny thing happened to me the other night, I was on WOL and got hit by flak so I bailed out and when I landed my chute drifted into a tree and it knocked the tree over.

you can see the tree knocked over and just to the right you can see the chute lines.

and it made a crashing noise as it was falling over 

funny as all get out 

[falle96]

I think the game is telling you to have a few less rations every morning!

 

(that or your ground crew has it out for you!)

Well, you don't see that every day :DDD

[HR_Eldamar]

I don't know very well what they have done with the damage model, but the wings of the red planes are made of paper, more than half of the times they have knocked me down it has been for the loss of a wing, even with very devile impacts they break. the iguas that the IL2 depth control, have taken them so much that now it is very difficult to survive an attack on the ground where there is a minimum antiaircraft defense.

Devs will need to amend pilot movement now when wearing oxygen mask. He won't be able to wipe his nose.

I think they need to completely bind the pilot to trackir head movement without the little programmed animations.... so a slight lean when checking six...  with limitation of course... don’t want the pilots head doing a 360...

I do not properly understand the pictures and what you are trying to show with them.  Surely at that height (2500 ft ish) you will not have a contrail with the apparent time of year either and perhaps it is just showing the new plumes with aircraft operating at full power, so that might explain the wing-man question and why some aircraft are showing the plume.  Yesterday on the server I watched as a Ju88 produced 2 white contrails low level on the deck and when I asked why, the player informed me that he forgot to do his cooling so as he opened the coolers the plumes appeared, something i thought was bloody marvelous showing), even if I'm not sure if it is 100% accurate.

 

Regards

 

PS.  If you believe the other things are wrong such as the Mg131 housing, try PMing Hans the info etc with a picture as the aircraft is still on early release so anything can be changed if required, I'm sure!

@LukeFF, does Han know about the difficult thermals of the A8? 

Do you consider the thermal model too hot, and have the testers reported it to Han? 

 

I don't think he is able to read the hundreds of PMs he's getting by the players. ?

That is probably true - I expect he gets so many from people that do not know what they are taking about, and so many from people who may, but whose questions have already been answered, (although they do not like the answers), that he has no time for dealing with new and important issues such as why the Spitfire cooling system modelling is so laughably wrong.  The A8 may also be in this category for all I know.

The reports about the A-8 have been made by testers, yes. However, I don't know what the conclusion of Han and others is. That'll be up to them discuss, if they choose to.

Thank you for the response. Yes, both planes are still early access, hopefully they get fixed.  Let's hope for the best (or spam good old Jason! ? )

You can absolutely boil off coolant IRL as seen in the game, though some planes may have it implemented strangely . The other trails of exhaust are from planes using mixtures that are too rich for the altitude. Many planes on full boost leave these trails because excess fuel is used at those engine settings to keep the engine cool. This phenomenon is mentioned in a lot of WWII memoirs by pilots of the day...American pilots in particular mention seeing exhaust from the 109s when they ran at full power. If you see your plan doing this, try leaning the mixture until it goes away.

The AI seems to run too rich a lot more than necessary, so its visible a lot more.

These are new effects and mechanics...I expect some tweaks in the next update to be sure.

[Aufpassen]

Thanks very much
