Great! Those are two lovely planes! 

[15[Span.]/JG51Chajas]

GOOD WORK....

 

[Trooper117]

Great... two aeroplanes for FC3, and the Nieuport 11 as we all know was known for "The emergence of the Nieuport 11 at the front finally put an end to the devastating superiority of the Fokker monoplanes"... and when is the Fokker Eindecker E-III coming out you might ask?... for some reason it's being released for FC 4, amazing, lol!

On a happier note, FC 3 is in early access.

Hy everyone!

After this last update my Logitech X56 stoped responding making the game not playable anymore.Tryed it 4-5 times, restarting and so on.The same all the time.I am trying also to remap trough key bindings,it doesnt react to nothing, cannot map either axis movement nor buttons.

Did anyone with the same hardware faced the same?

Any solution it will be of great help.

 

Update:just tryed an old Mad C.A.T.Z. wich i used to fly for years, the same.When starting the game, I am getting a promt that a new controller device was found, gives me the option to move the settings to the new device or to map it manually and either option I am using is useless.While in flight the plane is not responding to none of hte commands from the joYstick.

 

Any way of rolling back to where I was yesterday,before the update?

 

A final word before giving it up....tryed again everything that came to my mind, no success. So, after the update joysticks NOT recognized anymore as an input device. I will look those next coming days here for any answer you will provide.

[CB77Don246]

Yeah, same! Me and the guys I play with really love the updated sound. Anyone know what the main complaint/reason was?

Thanks for making me feel stupid, but also for revealing the secrets of the universe.

I also liked the new version more. Especially because it had more punch. The old one compared to the MG is almost not noticable when firing MG and ShVAK.

Both planes are great. One thing I found very nice, especially in VR... The perfect & clean metallic look of these textures! There are so many FC textures thal look, let's say with room for improvement, but these look absolutrely fantastic!

If possible for the future: please update some of the textures to look more realistic in VR like this example.

Noted - Is anyone else seeing this problem and if so, are you seeing any error messages?

Same here.  Was there a poll about this?  If so, I wish I would have seen it.

Please check the downloads section in Steam client - chances are the update was scheduled for some 'convenient' time like 3:00 AM.

Have to agree I love how clean the Nieuport is compared to the norm of everything looking like they've been salvaged from the bottom of a lake, as far as textures / weathering goes

[SidtheGit]

Could devs explain where the 'popular demand' for the change back to the Shvak sound came from please? The sound recently got rid of was a much better sound I believe and many squad mates agreed when we heard it.

Extremely excited to see these planes updated!

 

Regarding boosting sales for Flying Circus - I think it would be good to add a little bit of completely new content in order to make it obvious there is something that wasn't in Rise of Flight. These could be tiny additions, but would be quite welcome - giving a sense that we aren't buying the same thing twice.:

 

A) New field mod for some of these aircraft might be easy to implement (Fixed forward firing guns for the F.E.2b, or some of the field modifications the D.H.2 had are examples - in Rise of Flight the D.H.2 doesn't even have the Le Prieur)! The early Hanriot H.D.1 had the gun offset to the left side (it was actually a retrofit to aircraft already at the front which moved the gun to the centre) and there were also tests of a Hanriot H.D.1 with two synchronised guns.

 

B) Adding a couple of Collector Planes or engine variants would have a similar effect (e.g. the faster variant of the D.H.2, the F.E.2d or the Italian subvariant of the Hanriot HD.1)

 

There is a lot of 'low-hanging fruit' that could be added in terms of field mods or engine variants/Collector Planes) that would be relatively cheap to develop but would add something new (beyond Rise of Flight), and could even turn a profit (e.g. selling a field-mod as a 'Collector Plane').

game is running now perfectly, i think this was a problem with steam and OpenComposite, thank you

Surprise...    New design parachute for Halb D2....   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRAI_zxm68A

[Vishnu]

Hmmm...purchased FC3 from the website not steam,   and restarted IL2 twice...no update...just me? 

 

I guess it takes several minutes?

@Sneaksie @Han - It occurs to me that, it might be good to make a big announcement that Flying Circus Vol.III is on sale (as a way of increasing sales)!

 

P.S. I do still think that a field mod or engine mod (or premium edition version of Vol.III) would help... but announcing that a new, glorious product, has entered early access might be a higher priority! Apologies if I've missed the announcement!

No fix for the pathetic Flying Circus AI then? I don't think I'll be rushing to buy until that little gem is worked.

The game runs fine or you can't run it? Please clarify. If it runs and you have purchased FCIII you should see Flying Circus III red bar among the others at the top right of the main menu and be able to fly Nieport 11 and Halberstadt DII in a quick mission.

[FeuerFliegen]

"Original ShVAK gun sounds are restored due to popular demand - the new sounds will be reworked to better fit in the overall acoustic concept;"

 

I guess I'm in a bubble, because everyone I talked to really appreciated the new sounds, and were looking forward to more sound improvements like it.

Honestly, I've been flying Rise of Flight in anticipation of Flying Circus Vol.III and the AI was much worse back then.... you really see the progress when you look at where things were. Made me a bit more 'glass half full'. Although I will agree with the general premise that the greatest flaw in this (and all other flight sims) is the AI - not the FM, DM, certainly not the graphics, but the AI - that is the greatest challenge for next decade. My 2 cents anyway.

[Avimimus]

By the way - the flight models are updated from Rise of Flight. The Halberstadt feels much more stable - if any devs are reading this I'd love to know what changed!

 

Also, does anyone know the washout on the Halb? It feels like it is pretty substantial (based on the stall characteristics). I know the Fokker D.II/D.III had pretty strong washout in this period.

No red bar in upper right saying I purchased it.  I wonder if  the sale actually went through.   It said thank you for purchasing.   It runs fine, as though I never bought it. Can you check to see if the sale went through?

You still there @Sneaksie?  

 

It runs fine, but there is no red banner in right corner like the others I've purchased.   Can you check to see if the sale actually went through on your end?

11. Original ShVAK gun sounds are restored due to popular demand

 

where on earth was this mystery 'popular demand' coming from? The new ShVAK sound was night and day better than the old, and got me hopeful that they'd be working on similarly much needed sound reworkings.

Agree 100%. I like WW1 and would be willing to get a FC installment but unless there is a plane or map in the installment that wasn’t in RoF then I’m not interested. Thank goodness we have WoFF.

It’s a bummer that in FC3, $80 gets us 8 planes while for the $50 gets us 8 planes for all the other GBs installments. Don’t see why they didn’t lower the price a bit.
