The current FC3 price is far from $80 :)

Yes it is and I snapped it up at $59.99 really quick while sitting on the toilet before one of the team comrades came to his senses and marked it back up to normal $79.99. The only bad result was when I stood up my lower legs had fallen asleep and I had to walk on pins and needles for the next 5 minutes.:rolleyes:

Interesting thing I noticed warming up on Berloga server, you can now be knocked out, and regain your senses after a bit if you take a good hit ?

That's going to surprise some people!

I need to know in what country the server is for GB so I can set my VPN to it according to the VPN that I use. So do you know the country if not point me were I can get the answer thanks.

Guys, regarding the ShVAK sounds: it is planned to re-implement a new sound once a new one can be created that fits well with the other weapon sounds. While the new one was definitely better than the old one, it didn't properly fit within the game's general soundscape.

I didn't notice that, but I'm not a sound engineer. Thanks for the explanation!

Dunno where that sarcasm comes, but I got the impression that this work was normal tedious procedure for Mtnbiker. Did that couple of times myself, until I started using these as "mod-style".

No sarcasm. I can't believe I never thought to use the mod manager to manage cockpit photos.

Thanks for the answer.

 

I loved the new sound so much, that I started playing with the Yak's and La-5 a lot more.

 

But it will also be time to revise the Berezin UB's sound (K, S and T), and the MG 151 (15/20), the same way for the larger calibers, they need more impact, echo and reverb.

@LukeFF are there any other (minor or bigger) sound updates in the plan, or is it just for this specific cannon?

Before that, as many have asked for, if they are going to make something new, let's have early war two seaters, and definitely on the Hun side.

 

Yes, I agree - and slower ~130 km/h ones (i.e. Albatros C.I or LVG C.II for the Germans, and Caudron G.IV or B.E.2c for the Entente)! That would be the most 'essential' improvement... some prey that the early fighters can actually run down!

I think it was $80.40 cents for the pre-order discounted price (for us Canadians anyway)... but compared to the exchange rates people in Eastern Europe get... I can't really complain that I'm the worst off.

 

Anyway, I'm just glad to be able to support the project. Magnificent work as always.

 

Note: The price will jump to $105 at release (using current exchange rates)... so I'm glad that these things eventually go significantly on sale after a couple of years - which is good for lower income people (or people living in cities with very high rents/housing prices).

That's been there, but it seems to be pretty rare. I knocked out an enemy AI, saw him slumped over and start a death spiral, only for it to recover and level out.

 

I've had it happen to myself on some pretty bad landings, thinking my guy had expired only for him to perk back up after a few seconds.

With all do respect, it’s always been 10 planes for $80, 8 planes for $50. With FC2, the pre-order sale price was $60, so 10 planes for $60, but with FC3 it’s $60 for 8 planes (really 7.5 planes due to the British version of the N.17). There are no new planes or variants or maps which weren’t in RoF in FC so I just feel that the current price isn’t worth what we’re getting.

That’s all.

Posted (edited)

Sorry but my math is a little bit 'different' ...

I always feel that I got 2 planes / tanks / vehicles for the price of 1 ... 

The VR models are always quite different and ... vastly superior (at least that is as I see it).

AFAIK we never got that in RoF.

Also in DCS and IL-2 CloD (I am indeed enjoying the VRbeta version of it) everything 'VR' feels so much more alive, something 2D 4K could never offer me.

I can only guess how much more difficult and resource consuming it may be to create those VR versions.

If I only look at the 2 new planes I just flew ... those alone are, to me, already worth the 54 EUR I paid for it in EA.

That is my opinion but as always ... YMMV.

Alright, good to hear. ??

 

Having the same problem with VPN.  The one that I use had and update the day before, so I thought that the problem was there. 

No that I see other reports that VPN is conflicting, I'm not so sure.

After this update my game crashes to desktop when trying to load any mission (e.g. a quick mission or a mission in a campaign).  I have verified the integrity of the game files but still no luck.  Anyone else having problems?

If you have any mods installed, remove them and then try again.

In Quick Mission I had my first CTDs ever since I play BOX: 4x Halberstadt DII, 4x Halberstadt C II against 4x Nieuport 11.C1, 4x Airco D.H.4 on the Arras (Spring) map @1500m, 2,5km distance. After approx 1 minute the sim crashes to desktop. 3 times in a row. Carriere missions on normandy work flawless and also any other Quick Mission ww2 related. Other than that, nice update. Cheers, Cello

In the aircraft list in the Mission Builder, the Halberstadt two seater is now mis labeled as a d2, both versions.  If one of them is selected for a use the mission will not start.

The listing appears as this:

halberstadtd2

halberstadtd2AU

halberstadtd2

 

Only the bottom selection is the D2 that actually works if placed in a mission.

 

Also, what is going on with the twin gun Nieuport 11?  Only the left gun reloads, as it appears the right gun never gets a reload, and I have had them both stop working while still showing ammo as available on the HUD ammo counter.

 

Also Nieuport 11 related, no matter how the throttle or mixture is managed, I get an over cooled engine warning in the tech chat all the time soon after take off.

What looks like 'd' is actually two letters 'cl' close together, so the naming is correct. Only the new D.II have an actual 'd' before the number 2.

Judging by your description, the both guns have misfired (one later than another), press the reload command (Alt-R) to unjam in such a case.

Was the bug of transport aircrafts not dropping loadouts and hovering above the drop point forever when its pretty windy fixed?

Ditto! And the throttle will not come down from 100%.

After updating to the latest released version, my external views are not working. I can't look at my own, friendly or enemy aircraft. I tried reconfiguring in settings but it didn't help. What should I do?

Sounds like the expert difficulty option is selected, it allows in-cockpit view only.

No, it's not. I have custom selected. I use external views to "photograph" drawn camouflages.

Sorry about my old eyes Sneaksie.

 

I did hit my reload button several times to no effect.  Can the weapon become permanently jammed?

Do you have an 'f lock' key on your keyboard (i.e. a key that disables the function keys?) I have one and sometimes strike it by accident. Probably not your problem - but I thought it is worth checking.

No, it shouldn't. Have you pressed Alt and R simultaneously? Perhaps it is remapped to another combination on your rig?

No, everything on the keyboard works.
But something's wrong.
I just tried to run the game for the third time today. And without any change in settings or mode selection, all views work. Yet I've had this problem for two and a half days since installing this update.




It's probably some kind of black magic...

Were you playing multiplayer? Some server hosters enforce expert difficulty.

That's a good looking skin. I really like the clean/less to non-weathered skins. Weathering is way overdone on many skins, these planes were used at the front lines for a few months to a year. Sometimes longer, but rarely. They were kept up too, not just flown hard and put away wet.

Hi @LukeFF, the bug was there again but meanwhile I find the reason, its a Mod causes the problem. In a process of elimination I find it and contact the creator. Thanks for your attention ?

Yep, completely forgot to disable mods before playing after this update - all fine now!

Thanks Luke FF!

Hi @LukeFF - Quick Nieuport question:  I am not getting much output at all on Buttkicker and Jetseat when firing the gun.  Is that intentional because the only armament is wingmounted and more isolated from the cockpit?  (The DII has plenty of "kick").  Thank you for checking!
