Jason_Williams Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 Quote 279 Dear Friends! Work on our next update, which is version 4.6 continues as planned and should be released before the end of this month. This update will be a pretty big one with new content, some new features and lots of small tweaks as usual. We also continue to make new airplanes and other models that will be incorporated into the sim this year and beyond. Work never slows down for us as you know. Today I’d like to share some screens of ongoing work that you’ll enjoy as we finalize the next update. Here are some images that help demonstrate our DVD system for our tanks and AAA vehicles along with our Tactical Codes technology. DVD definitely adds another interesting layer to our damage modeling. Full news is HERE. Jason 17 6 5
HandyNasty Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 Of all the Spitfire Mk XIV skins, the Belgian one is the best since you need zero IQ to fly it. 3

Also it's a 1948 skin, so that's practically confirming the next installment will be a 1946 style "what if the war continued longer" scenario. 1
co199 Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 Great work, team! Those Spitty posters are so good!
Aurora_Stealth Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 Some fantastic content coming through there, very excited for the update! the GAZ-AA really looks the part in the camo, and the dynamic visual damage looks very authentic and immersive. Looks like this update will be the big one... 007

Badger343rd Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 What does the tiger pic represent in terms of this weeks diary's development "message"??...is it the dirt on the hull?...or simply the skin? I'm not sure of its relevance context ,in relation to the other pic's of damage modeling. 1 1

I'm not sure of its relevance context ,in relation to the other pic's of damage modeling. The numbers on the hull are dynamic and you can change them yourself. The fact that they fit on so naturally is SUPER impressive. 1 4
6FG_Big_Al Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 Really nice DD and thank you Jason for those posters! I really enjoy them and they give a sweet little overview. ? And the Screenshots of the DVD & tactical markings are looking gorgeus!

Furni Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 Very nice DD today, all looking great, not long now. Always a nice way to end the week with a DD update ??
No_85_Gramps Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 Great looking additions! Going to love those new railyards.
[F.Circus]sith1144 Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 spotting the towns with some friends... so far we have Rouen (2x), ???, Le Havre, and Cherbourg... we'll get that last one soon enough!
Diggun Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 Some very lovely new skins for the Vb there - particularly like the' Air-Sea rescue squadron' skin ?
NIK14 Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 Nice stuff! Like the dead truck driver hanging over the steering wheel...grim. 1
Redwo1f Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 B E A U T I F U L! - everything, even the things full of holes!
40plus Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 Wow, so many goodies to look forward to. I cant wait to start trying out the GAZ

ShamrockOneFive Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 So much good stuff in this developer diary!
310_cibule Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 The cities and marschalling yards look simply awesome. I would not mind to have a skin of one of the three Czechoslovak RAF fighter squadrons on the poster but one can't have everything ; )

Pleasantly surprised to see VOS-7, too. If recon-style gameplay was properly implemented they'd make a very unique career mode 1
SKeptic Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 Thanks for the diary. I'm not sure, changable nubers will be able only for tanks, or for planes too?

kendo Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 For planes too eventually. But in next update 4.6 only for tanks and vehicles (and the Nieuport too) 1
Luger1969 Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 Never thought I would see the Spit mkvix in a sim. Brilliant. FC2 looks really good to...The Nieuport brilliant. I have to start saving....
itsbillyfrazier Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 Ooof! I'm loving the new train yard images and DVD images, oh and thanks for the Spit posters Jason! I'm really looking forward for this next update, it sure will be cool to get shredded in the Gaz and observe the new DVD tech! ? Have a nice weekend Devs!
Heliopause Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 Great news ? Little detail though: No 332 (Dutch) Sqn should be ...... 322 (Dutch) Sqn
keeno Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 Fantastic update, lots to lust over. I wish I'd had those skins posters as a child!

Come to Overloon/NL, there we have one hanging from the ceiling in the museum. War belongs inthe museum - Oorlogsmuseum Overloon Edited April 16, 2021 by sevenless 3
