Hello everybody,

The next update 3.201 will be released really soon. In the previous Dev Diaries, we told what it will bring for Bodenplatte, but it will also contain many improvements for other projects as well. Let's start with Tank Crew.

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

Now onto Flying Circus. The coming update will include the Arras area map (1918).

Full news - here is a full text and visual materials

Something telling me I'm going to need the whole day to get this upcoming update downloaded. 

[sevenless]

Just wonderfull!

[namhee2]

Merci. danke schön, thank you….

[Manstein16]

I love how the SU-122 models are just tossed in there without comment. On their own those images would be awesome, but they hardly merit notice in a DD that is packed to the gills with awesomeness.

[6FG_Big_Al]

Great stuff! I love the the improvements and i had a feeling that arras would come with that patch ?

[Garven]

The WW1 Airfield looks amazing; much better than the RoF ones.  Excited to fly on the WW1 map it looks fantastic.

[spitfirejoe]

Great stuff…...Keep it coming please. I hope for Monday......PLAEASE!!!

[Missionbug]

WOW, the internet will implode with all of us trying to download that little lot, awesome.

Jeez at least give them a little while before you complain. 

well but I cant hear a real change?  just  while spooling up the engine you can hear a change but full throttle is the same...

[smink1701]

Amazing. 
Can’t wait!

[Chief_Mouser]

The best thing about the BoX series is the constant improving of stuff that's already out there. Outstanding service and attention to detail.

[sevenless]

I hope the servers wont look like this after 3.201 release:

 

[ghostrider44]

Can't wait for the 3.201 !!!!

 

Some sound improvement for the spitfire will be very cool. ? I hope they work there.

It`s great that also the old planes are getting new stuff, 4K skins and the Bf-109 sound in this release. Thanks!

[150GCT_Veltro]

Is time to oil my SE5a engine.

Oh

My

God

 

[Max_von_Wuthenau]

Wow, amazing. The T-34 engine sounds terrific, like the big ole diesel it is. I'm not sure if the russian farmer appreciates your driving, though. 

[sallee]

What a gorgeous Arras.

[Enceladus828]

Great dev diary guys, especially Tank Crew

 

Regarding the Arras map: was making and releasing 10 planes ( which we can already fly on Rise of Flight and have the same if not, very similar experience) really more important than a suitable map that we can fly over (which we can also already fly over in RoF and have a very similar experience)? True. We were doing that with the Bodenplatte aircraft for awhile, but for the planes and the map, the devs were essentially starting from scratch, while with Flying Circus they were just refurbishing existing models made by 777/1CGS from 2009-14. With Tank Crew (who also started from scratch) they still have a few more tanks to release, but the map was released back in March. Because of that, we'll get the campaigns and possibly another or 2 Tank in the October update. I mean, both Flying Circus and Tank Crew were both released into Early Access at the same time (July 2018), they’re both being made by 3rd party teams, both the maps are the same dimensions, 100km x 100km. I think work should have been more focused on the Arras map than the 2 seaters so that the map could have been released earlier and update 3.201 would have included the final 2 planes, the Bristol and the Halberstadt. Let's do that next time for FC please.

 

Anyway, really looking forward to the next update in the coming days. Release it before dawn and I'll be up bright and early to play it and fly over the Rhineland map with the P-38.

Awesome work!

Me too, but I need a campaign for it

Are there any being developed by our community? I know there are no official ones.

[CountZero]

Nice changes for Tempest skin

[BlitzPig_EL]

Outstanding update!

Can't wait for the release.

 

Question, would the Arras map cover any WW2 action areas?

[J37_Daedallus]

Brilliant!

 

 

[Lusekofte]

Ehh Seeing that FC map my brain hung up. 

I am no longer sure what I am looking forward to the most. I wont be able to choose when this is downloaded

[II/JG17_HerrMurf]

Really happy about occluded icons. Makes them more of an aid and less of a crutch now. Bounces will be possible now.

 

With all of the improvements, the next update is almost a new game as opposed to an upgrade.

 

Bring it!

Yes. Blitzkrieg 1940 and battles from June 1944.

[4driano]

All looks very good!

I just would like to see some people walking by those city streets of WWI.

[pilotpierre]

You guys continue to outdo yourselves. It would appear there is no limit to what the future might hold. I take my hat and the rest of my hair off to you.

 

Should you ever be blessed with a camel as a gift, let it be one with 2 humps.

[cardboard_killer]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhh hh hh.

 

Thank you. Do you need cab fare?
