Woot woot! Thanks for the heads-up Talbot! I dearly love me some balloons! And observers with parachutes? YES PLEASE! ??

[J99_Sizzlorr]

[No.23_Gaylion]

I cant find any on QM Arras

[migmadmarine]

Have you enabled them in the "ground targets" tab? I'd assume they are listed there.

Don't kid on that you could ever shoot at a parachute

[No.23_Gaylion]

Not listed. Checked all boxes.

[J99_Sizzlorr]

But they are there i checked the ME. They probably forgot to implement them in QMB...

[J2_Trupobaw]

Check over artillery positions.

[No.23_Gaylion]

I tried that too. Loaded up a QMB and selected all the objects. Then went external free flight view to see it they were out. No joy. 

I like that there are now search lights. Would LOVE to see someone put out a really cool night map. The stories of night pursuit and bombing  sound absolutely crazy.

[J2_Trupobaw]

Check Arras, single plane airstart, Entente side, near Arras itself? It may have no icon ;).

Yup. On the QMB, north of Arras. Single start.

 

 

 

The Brits seem to be using a balloon with German markings, not sure why?

 

Note that they haul the balloon down as you get close.

 

[slug_yuugen]

The crucial questions is has anyone tried to ditch without flipping yet? ?

[No.23_Gaylion]

Well dang

I didn't flip it and kinda let it land itself but it still sinks.

 

 

 

[biggles0f266]

anyone else have the balloons disappearing when you get near or zoom in on them?

[BMA_Hellbender]

Nice!

 

Sadly no bugfixes whatsoever for FC, in spite of all the reports made during early access. This is worrisome.

[No.23_Gaylion]

Rate of fire still not affected by prop speed...

Have faith brother hellbender!

[BMA_Hellbender]

Well, the thing is that the game is released now, and no longer in early access. I get that this doesn’t mean all bugs are squashed or that development has ended, but it would be a good idea to give us confirmation that the bugs we reported during early access are either accepted or rejected as bugs, since they were not present in RoF (stuttering gunner animations, D.Va overheat at normal temperature, CL.II gun angle reduction...), that way we can move forward.

 

It’s also fair for us to be more critical about the finished product. That doesn’t mean I’ve lost faith, but I also wouldn’t recommend to buy FC at full price (it still appears to be 10% off for now) with its future shrouded in mystery.

[US103_Baer]

47. Pitch response curve for non-FFB joysticks has been corrected for all Flying Circus planes, making them easier to fly level. SPAD 13 and Dr.1 were adversely affected due to this change and will be fixed I a Hotfix;

 

Edit: it's turned the Spad into a Camel. Requires a lot more stick fwd to stop it looping! Hope that hotfix comes soon. 

 

Also note there is now an Extreme setting for clouds, so the cloud optimisation must have been implemented.

The gunner animation always flickered badly for me in RoF.  I could tell when there was a human gunner even when the gunner was stationary.

I had the same problem in RoF, the gunner would flicker when someone manned the station and at times disappear from view completely at the edge of vision. The animation itself was smooth, though.

 

 

 

In Flying Circus, there is no such flicker, but the gunner animation isn't smooth, while the gun itself does move smoothily.

 

 

 

 

In all likelihood there is a missing animation interpolation.

Just when I was going to have a quick fight before going to bed, the update had arrived.
Checked the settings quickly, selected extreme clouds.  Fired up the QMB. Allright, just gimme some random Entente plane to fight close to Amiens (so I have something nice to look at while my enemies spiral down out of control). What's that Entente twin-engine mono-plane incoming? Oh, a PE-2! ? ?

From the announcement:

"In addition, we plan to closely monitor your messages in order to improve the quality of the project as much as we can in the last part of 2019."

 

Guess we'll need to add some bump messages into bug reports and keep fingers crossed. (Mine are already deformed and I feel strong spasm.)

Not really. They were shelling us with big updates this fall, and fixing feature breaking bugs in upcoming update rather than game play affecting ones in one just released. They have pushed all 3 products in servicable state two months before deadline, and hopefully have these two months to go back to all gameplay bugs we kept reporting. We just need to keep reminding them of what needs fixing :).
