Developer Diary, Part 64

[II/JG17_HerrMurf]

Do you think this might mean another update for Friday ... FW190      

YES!!!!!!!!

 

Definitely a Friday.............in June

[Senilix]

The download game client process don't show any progress, this is rather annoying 

[1PL-Banzai-1Esk]

Great news,

This is what I will be signing every time when I get a kill in La-5.

 

Salute

That will be in QMB for some time to come, let's hope not to long LOL

Just downloaded and installed the new client, and have one difficulty.  It appears that no controls can be inverted.  Whether or not I invert the control for, say, throttle, it continues to function in the normal non-inverted state.

 

The install did seem to keep some of my previous control settings (as suggested I had just left them alone and didn't copy anything back).  Maybe something went wrong with the install there?

 

Any suggestions for the best way to reinstall with default control settings, or how else to work around?

 

Thanks.

[ST_ami7b5]

Throttle inverted here too.

[tanr]

Just to be clear, the problem I'm seeing is that setting a control to be inverted doesn't actually invert it.

[kendo]

My throttle control is inverted too. No effect when I try to reverse it.

[Jaws2002]

Wow!

To extrapolate "custom skins and templates will be released today" from "Game practically ready to be released" I'd say that's quite a leap.

Good luck, hope you're not too disappointed.

I didn't say anything about today. I mean, with beta, whenever that's going to be released. Edited May 8, 2014 by Jaws2002

[ST_ami7b5]

Trim cannot be assigned to an axis??

[Coaster45]

Yay! Very nice. Thanks for the update!

[1./JG42Nephris]

Cant change inverted throttle.

Too much of simulation expected or is it a bug ?

[SYN_Vorlander]

LA5 not in Multiplayer?

 

 

[1PL-Banzai-1Esk]

LA5 not in Multiplayer?

 

 

Not yet , hopefully it will be unlocked on Duel server sooner than on official servers.

[Lusekofte]

Well done team, many thanks for the new plane

[Nankeen]

Thank you for letting us be apart of this, and seeing how a great title is made. it's very much appreciated

[sallee]

Sounds like good news!

Thank you devs and enjoy your Friday off.

[Nil]

Throttle (and everything else) possible to invert for me!? I added a joypad thou, so I had to redo the settings, since joy0 turned into joy1.
But the update turned out to be pure joy, (can't wait for the 190 a3!)

[SYN_Skydance]

Contracts with your expertly executed plans.

 

Loving the LA5.

[Alex_Serbanescu]

TRIM works great ... PROP Pitch works wonderful (in the Bf109) ... nothing is inverted - Many thanx to the devs team - I've never been so happy in a long time

 

 "can't wait for the 190 a3!" +1

Throttle inverted here.

[senseispcc]

The La-5 is a beast, fast, nimble, powerful, beautiful;

The new trims are great additioon and at last the airplanes can be equilibrated during flight.

Thanks, great game, long life IL2.

[ST_ami7b5]

Throttle inverted here.

Also prop pitch.

Seems that some axes that were inverted before this update are somehow stuck and can't be uninverted now...

Congratulations Guys!  I am loving the game and looking forward to the beta phase when it's ready.

 

Cheers!

[senseispcc]

And yes nearly all input's have to be encoded again with some difficulties for the axes like throttle, yaw, roll, etc...  

[tanr]

More info on the inputs that are stuck inverted.

 

Reverting controls to defaults (using the "Default" in the Settings/Controls/Engine for example) then re-entering your control axis for throttle etc. doesn't work around the problem.  The control still stays locked in whatever inverted or non-inverted state it was in.  It even keeps your dead zone settings through the reset to "Default".

 

I can uninstall and reinstall, but is there a simpler way to truly set all the controls to their defaults?  Can I just delete current.actions, current.map and current.responses and restart?  Looking at other posts that seems like the way to go, but I wanted to get confirmation before I go and start deleting stuff!

 

Thanks.

[Habu]

Make a backup of your input directory. Delete all the input directory, then run the launcher. it should download the missing file.

[JZG_Viking]

Awesome! Much <3.

[Sokol1]

Trim cannot be assigned to an axis??

 

 

Assign you can, but no result practical since the axis is see only in one way (or move trim Up or Down).

[tanr]

Make a backup of your input directory. Delete all the input directory, then run the launcher. it should download the missing file.

 

Deleting the input directory and running the launcher gives a bunch of errors about being unable to save files and fails to load (even though I ran it as administrator).

 

I deleted just the current.* files in the input directory and re-ran.  Now I can properly invert or un-invert controls!  Just have to re-enter a bunch of them.

 

Looking forward to playing the new version as soon as I set up my controls again!

[Pudfark]

My way of saying "Thanks"...is, that I just bought the premium edition five minutes ago.

Thank You All.

[[JG2]R7_Blackadder]

Congrats on the Beta stage guys, I've really become more and more faithful in the project in these months

 

I'm confused about the availability of La-5 and in the future the 190: as silver founder will i be able to try them here, and will the price be the same for everybody in case I change my mind  ?

 

(I have no idea what the price of the single plane could be)

[SvAF/F19_Klunk]

I am very excited about today's update.. Entering Beta is huge and also to have a release..well not date but month.....

 

Availability on Steam a smart move....

 

Question: will we, who have bought BoS outside of steam, be able to freely download the game via Steam? I really like Steam, a smart way to keep all my games available and good update features.

[dburne]

Major fps drop and stuttering when very low to ground, trying to land virtually impossible...

[smink1701]

Updated great

Trim seems to be working fine ... at least in the The La-5 

The La-5 is my new favorite ride ... like a fast, nimble Cadillac.  Or Russian Thunderbolt!

Thank you team 777!!!

[IIN8II]

This is fantastic, cant wait to add the La-5 to my next project

[Sokol1]

Just to be clear, the problem I'm seeing is that setting a control to be inverted doesn't actually invert it.

 

You can assign any axis in >>>>>> or in <<<<<<, depends on how you start the movement.

 

http://i59.tinypic.com/121flls.jpg

 

Throttle for example, leave the lever back, click on GUI move the lever front and back will register (+)AxisXYZ - the + is not show, just to exemplify.

Or, leave the lever front, click on GUI move the lever back and front, will register -Axis XYZ - this time the (-) signal is show.

 

And here, click on invert box work.

Does the LA-5 have a working water radiator that is manually controlled?

I notice it stays on 100% and the control I have assigned does not adjust it?

[EAF_Paf]

I had the same problem, that inverting doesn't work. Just change the deadzone abit and back and invert is possible again.

no its a radial engine, air cooled. lalt-+- opens and closes the cowling.
