AnPetrovich 1074 Posted August 16 13 minutes ago, AnPetrovich said: 228 Hello Dear Friends! As you know, to work well one needs to have a good rest. While the summer season continues, and our colleagues go on vacation, I will tell you how important it is for a military pilot to be able to save and properly spend his strength during combat. Probably you have already realized that in today's diary I want to talk about our new pilot physiology modeling, which we are preparing for the release in the next update. Our Beta testers will receive this model for tests today. ............................................................ News from Jason Bodenplatte Coming Along Nicely! We continue to work on the BOBP map and its large list of airfields and urban areas which is something rather new for us. This map has been a challenge like never before and we have it functioning in Beta, but it has a little way to go still... Saddle Up Cowboy! Our P-51D-15 “Pony” is nearing the Beta stage as we finish the cockpit and external model... Personal Images in Cockpits Another popular request has been the ability to place a personal picture in the cockpit of your plane... New View Distance for Airplanes Yes, by popular request, we have increased the visibility of distant airplanes... Next Collector Planes in Pre-Production And last but not least, we have begun preliminary work on a couple cool Collector Planes... Full news - here is a full text and visual materials 22 13 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feathered_IV 5540 Posted August 16 Lovely new cockpits. I especially like the smooth and detailed view of the nacelles on the P-38. Can any eagle eyed members identify those immaculate airfields? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ADorante 58 Posted August 16 How will the AI pilots react to the G-forces and adapt their tactics? Great DD! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeLv30_Redwing 171 Posted August 16 This new pilot physiology model is wonderful idea and correct if I'm wrong, never featured in detail like that in any sim before? I welcome this feature with open arms, it truly should change flying and tactics online and make this "same old grind" feel fresh and inspirating again. Good job, devs, good job! 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
6FG_Big_Al 346 Posted August 16 I have no more words! Awesome. 1. i am now even more looking forward to the pilots physiology, very well explained and certainly exciting as a new component. 2. I drool at these pictures. Great that the P-51 already comes with optional Gyro gunsight, Bendix and mirror 😄 3. "A couple" of new collector planes, well then I will have a very serious conversation with my wallet. Can't wait to see what we'll get 😄 All in all again a great update and I hope you enjoy your vacation 😄 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Finkeren 5887 Posted August 16 Fantastic work!!! The new G-load effects sound very promising and could have a great deal of impact on gameplay. Maybe I missed a paragraph, but does it say anything about how this will be applied to the AI? The new planes, and especially the new airfields, look splendid. And of course you buried the lead: Increased draw distance is up and running. Just awesome news! And my avatar has made it into the cockpit of a strapping young LaGG pilot ❤️ 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaegermeister 307 Posted August 16 Great stuff! I just made that P-38 screenshot my new desktop to go along with my CPU upgrade so I can also upgrade my graphics settings to fly it soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Novice-Flyer 178 Posted August 16 Amazing Update!! Thank you to all at 1C for your time. 10/10 is my rating for this one. For Collector planes, I hope we’ll get some of these: Arado 234, Mosquito, Me-410... Either way I’ll buy them Salute. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Needs a Sky belly band to be accurate to early 1944 and invasion stripes on the belly to be accurate to our campaign. No Tempest ever flew looking like all these beta pics.

Bullets 379 Posted August 16 Did somebody say HURRICANE???? Next Collector Planes in Pre-Production And last but not least, we have begun preliminary work on a couple cool Collector Planes.
