Han 13304 Posted September 20 Just now, Han said: 231 Hello everybody, We're in the second half of September and this means that the next update 3.201 isn't far away. This one will be massive and will bring a lot of new content as well. Three player controllable aircraft, AI bomber, new AI ground vehicles and of course, the new map - Rheinland. This map tops the records once again: 130 000 square kilometers of reachable terrain (401 x 324 km), 176 000 square kilometers total size (461 x 384 km), 225 cities and towns - a record number of big cities, 70 airfields - 67 of them have historically correct layout recreated using archive documents. For increased detail and historical accuracy, for the first time, we have used 4 airfield types on the same map - with concrete, metal, and unpaved runways and airstrips without runways. ............................... Full news - here is a full text and visual materials 16 7 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FlyingNutcase 151 Posted September 20 (edited) Massive indeed. And you've tripled the building rendering distance? Bravo! Ouch, the Quad Flak 38 could be a problem. Edited September 20 by FlyingNutcase Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jade_Monkey 2798 Posted September 20 Very impressive work!! I really love that tech like city builder, bridge builder, and distant rendering is being added to the platform. I'm sure that can be leveraged in future installments and accelerate development. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luftschiff 212 Posted September 20 That P-38 is making me feel things I haven't felt for an allied plane since the Felixstowe... And the mud-mover in me is absolutely delighted at the prospect of being able to see my target before I've passed it and missed my drop cue. Fantastic job, this patch will be something truly special.

If buildings are rendering farther out it makes high-alt level bombing much more feasible. As long as your computer can do the render distance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
