1CGS Han 20557 Posted December 16, 2020 1CGS Share Posted December 16, 2020 Just now, Han said: Update 4.504 Dear Friends, New player controllable aircraft or vehicles aren’t ready yet, but we have decided to release the update 4.504 that improves many aspects of the sim. The main feature of this update is the increased visual detail of the landscape at close distances ................................ The second main feature is a nearly complete overhaul of the sound volume balance in the aircraft cockpits ................................ There are many other important changes as well, for instance, many graphical effects were improved like large structural fires in cities and more detailed tank cannon fire effects. Even the grass now bends when you fire the tank main gun! The full changelist follows: News on 4.504 update, full text You can ask new questions in this thread 20 18 9 Link to post Share on other sites

unreasonable 3186 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 48. P-51D-15 spinner was made less shiny; Seems unfair when everything else is being polished.... Good to see the sounds getting some TLC as well. Thank you. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

enyak 14 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Well, I just spent about 40 minutes zooming around Kuban listening to the new soundscape. The sound of rushing air alone is a huge improvement and given even more weight to an already fantastic aerodynamic simulation. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Voyager 197 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Very cool. I'll have to hop in the Jug tonight and see how loud it is vs the V12 aircraft. I didn't pay much attention to its volume before, but I'd guess it probably got quieter, internally. I find myself wondering how loud a Beaufighter would be? I recall the thing had mufflers on it. I wonder if that would make a possible premium plane candidate? I recall they served all over the place. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Enceladus 522 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) I think the devs made a mistake here. 4.504, not 5.405. We’ll probably be there in a year or two, but not there at the moment Edited December 16, 2020 by Enceladus 2 5 Link to post Share on other sites

Melonfish 265 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I don't suppose a fix for the hurricane has been snuck in? I.e. nose pitching up when the flaps are deployed, otherwise it's Mary Poppins. Link to post Share on other sites

Rustedgun 10 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I just smile when I see release like this one.

I./JG52_Woutwocampe 135 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Nice that the AI wont try to shoot you from 3000 meters away in a face to face now. Thanks for the update. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
40plus 1097 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) Ooooooo! The image of the P-39 pilot exiting his burning plane is sublime! Oh and By the way.... 56. The visibility range of large fires (static effects City_Fire, City_FireSmall, VillageSmoke and their new cyclic versions) has been increased to 100 km;57. Settlement fire effects in Career, Quick Missions and tank campaigns won’t periodically disappear and reappear or ‘flip’ when you move the camera around them. These effects now illuminate the surroundings as well;62. Сyclic settlement fire effects City_Fire_Loop, City_FireSmall_Loop and VillageSmoke_Loop won’t visibly disappear and reappear or ‘flip’ when you move the camera Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Koenigstiger 133 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Hello Freaks, I'm really excited - the developer’s checkout work and an early Christmas present! Thank you - just as the chains fall on the Tiger I when driving, you don't want to have your fingers in between! Also the movement of the sloping towers - wonderfully implemented! Good luck !

Otto_bann 149 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) Tested right now on alpha IL2 Expert : the wind noise in cockpit is too high (tested in 190 A3). The motor sount can't be heared now on my game. Impossible to play long time or with sound shutted only. May the problem is only for me, the others pilots said to me "no problem" for them. I restarted the game : no change. What can I do now? Edited December 16, 2020 by Otto_bann 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites
TWUNT-Sid_the_Sexist 5 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Only 60 + improvements? Thank you team. From my first days of Rise of Flight (bought in a real shop on a DVD!) with six or so planes to now. I hope you get some rest at Christmas if you celebrate it or get a holiday.
