COD basic and add ons update

[adler_1]

hello

I used to have COD through Steam years ago and deleted it soon after my purchase due to many graphic problems i encountered at the time , even the driver was a problem with flooding around the coastal area and the single mission mission builder being almost unusable with issues such as setting up ground scenarios objects and taxi  to name the least . Since then 2 add ons have been added to the basic game .What has changed ? are there still issues with drivers , graphics and ground scenarios mission building ? Does the Blitz edition replace the original COD and is it bug free ? Do i need only this version to add the newly released  desert add on ?  I note there are no templates for skinners for both editions , what is the reason ? Will it not accept and load third party skins ? No viewer tool for skinning ?

Blitz update - free for original CloD, is now the default game, required for install the released Tobruk DLC.

 

If you don't buy Tobruk DLC, Blitz was updated for 5.0 with some fixes, slight better graphics visuals, "War Thunder" like fire, explosions effect, and several bug-fixes.

 

Bugs still existing (like in any game), but none a game stopper for majority of people.

Since no domestic computer is equals to another, specially due the "behind keyboard" part, the mileage varies. ?

Templates exist - look at ATAG forum/downloads,  and game accept 3rd part skins, with the probable best skin support in any flight game, e.g. an MP squad can have a unique  plane number, without need make a skin for each member. Only that German "thing" is not included due the actual  "political correctness".

 

In Options > Plane are a skin viewer, as well in Full Mission Builder editor.

hello

Is the latest NVIdia driver 451.67 which i use for IL2 valid for this sim as well ? no need to roll back to play ? does the mission builder allow to place ground objects and build scenarios ?  i found the mystic puma templates for the Blitz range in templates thread here while at ATAG i see only the skins of these templates  , Are there any Desert edition templates available yet such as the BF109 F4 , P40 E and Warhawk ?

Yes, and in a simple way, select the object, Ctrl+Mouse left button for  place the object on map.

Zoom in (mouse scroll) and hit Enter for see the object in 3D (effects, like fire, smoke don't have 3D), and can rotate the object  with Numpad keys.

People involved with skins and Tobruk test can be find in ATAG forum, where I think if you ask there receive a more correct answer about templates.

The updated BLITZ also added the Beaufighter, Bf-110C-6 and three new versions of the Tiger Moth armed with MG's and bombs.
