Excellent news! Thanks guys! ?

[Hopper64]

Impressive!! Thanks!

[R3animate]

Load times are REALLY impressive guys, great work. Love seeing the continuous improvement on the skins/cockpits too. 

[JG4_Moltke1871]

Umph…… from now a new challenge with spotting in Flying Circus ?

[dino_soars]

33. Aircraft lists in the Mission Editor are sorted correctly (alphabetically)

 

This probably makes me happier than it should. Thanks!

if a minimum of attention for those who edit is appreciated

Thanks for the update & the continous improvement of this sim.

[JG_deserteagle540]

Thank you very much for all the work on the tiny details.

[Alonzo]

 

YES!!!! A massive thank-you for this. Seems like a little thing but it's very very helpful. Thank you!

[J99_Sizzlorr]

Thanks for the update! With the release of the Triplane we can finally dive into 1917 scenarios!

[Voyager]

Ooo. Looks like we're doing tripe tonight! 

[Ribbon]

Any news on BoN map, is it still on track for Q2 release (mid, late Q2)? 

 

Thnx!

Too bad I have no time before the weekend to properly check things out.

But thank you for your hard work.

 

Have a nice day.

6. Additional optimization of the landscape rendering system reduced the potential stutters while moving on the map;

 

Can you elaborate this a little please? Are these the stuters we've been report in recent months with a few colleagues when on a map over time and looking at an specific area, the FPS totally drops to an unplayable limit?

[J37_Spyboy]

Thank you Team, you are doing great things!

 

[Alexmarine]

17. AI pilots will switch off their navigation lights when engaged by the enemy during the landing

 

Nice 

[DD_Arthur]

Hey, this is unexpectedly early!

Thanks very much?

[Gora_]

Nice to see you make some tweaking. I'm not sure yet, but after few minutes of testing the strange glow over horizon during sunny day has gone.  Need more tests. 

 

EDIT: nope, still the same

Nice 

 

But why such a great team can't address so simple and so important bug as wrong rendering nav lights (too visible from a distant) for sooooo long time? You even fix it once but reverted this to buggy again ?

[LuftManu]

Thank you, team ?

[Blitzen]

Is this available today or in the pipeline for release through Steam at some later date??

Just answered my own question .After a quick update download there I was at 1500 feet over Arras!

Thanks guys!

It's out. Restart steam if it doesn't kick in automatically.

[AtomicP]

An unexpected, but welcome update. Thank you dev team.

[IckyATLAS]

Thanks devs for all these visual improvements and loading times. All are welcome. Now that bomb jerk is fixed, as you improve also the effects, if you could just have the craters stay when bombs explode and not just leave the last 4 ones visible. It should not be so complicated to do and during a carpet bombing believe me it is an excellent visual effect too. Thanks again for your dedication and work.

Nice update, thank you Developers

17. AI pilots will switch off their navigation lights when engaged by the enemy during the landing.

 

Is it worth it to change to "will switch off lights but, sometimes panic and forget?"

[352nd_Tazman]

Anyone having an issue with rendering in VR after the last update?

 

I run WMR with a HP Reverb G2.

 

Everything was fine before the update, now it seems the left eye render is not correct. It has a "fishbowl" effect. When I move my head, the left eye scene moves along with my head while the right eye view is fine. It is unplayable.

 

I have tried resetting the graphics settings with no success.

 

Other games are rendering fine, so it is something in IL2.

 

Cheers!

Big up Oyster_KAI!  Your moment to shine!

 

[simfan2015]

Thank you all so much for yet another magnificent Il-2 GB update. 

The speed of loading of the map is now really incredible! 

Oyster Kai has also been quite busy, thanks. 

 

[Gedm]

A pleasant surprise and a big thank you to the team!

Because you don’t understand the nature of the issue. We have to modify 50+ models. It has nothing to do with effects. Takes time and resources I need to stay on schedule.

Any time there is a “simple” issue that remains unfixed, it’s probably best to just assume that the issue is not nearly as simple as you think it is.

[AEthelraedUnraed]

I hadn't expected this update so soon. Nice to see one of the necessary "bugfix" updates; not so much new content in this one (although the Tripe sure is nice!), but there's definitely some QoL in here!

[LF_Mark_Krieger]

I really love all the effort on the improvement of the details in the cockpits, gauges, placards, screws... OCD? well... perhaps  ?
