They are either offensive missions where you support a friendly armored push by attacking the enemy's front lines, which consist primarily of tanks and anti-tank guns; or they are defensive missions, where your goal is to stop the enemy's attack by attacking their armored forces.

That's cool! That should make for a pretty lively ground attack mission!

Something with the update went wrong.

-At first when I was ask to update (at login) Steam was not visible.

-I stopped a steam process in task manager and restarted steam, for IL2GB an update was shown when I clicked on the update button nothing happened.

-I restarted ther computer, now in steam the blue update button worked, after only 2 seconds it changed to green to play.

-But when I start IL2GB I get now always the message to update, but there is no further update shown in steam.

-The IL2 GB Symbol in Steam has changed:

It's better to verify game files in Steam since it looks like it wasn't updated.

Failing to update

 

Partial download initially. Cut and stored today's download folder somewhere (just in case?)

Re-opened game and managed full download. Then failed to update

 

No mods. Never had a problem before. What's happening?

What once helped me in this case is to delete everything in the folder C/il-2sturmovik Great Battles/Updates.

Then try again to update your game.

I'm not sure if it'll help you but it once solved the problem for me.

 

Have a nice day and hopefully it works.

Thanks FS. Probably not going to have time to follow this up for a couple of days, but will give it a go.

Failing that - or any other solution that comes up - it'll be a uninstall/reinstall I suppose :(

How is the bomb sight implemented?  As a press to view bomb sight (like other bombers), or can we non-VR players now move our camera out enough to see through it?

I'd find out myself, but my rig is currently in storage, awaiting a new man cave.

Re. 5.108 Change List: 7. Achtung - Spitfire! campaign updated

 

Just finished this campaign. Can you give some details pls? Just to decide if I should run it again (or some missions). Thx.

 

Change List for Achtung Spitfire Scripted Campaign:

 

* Ground smoke and fires are changed to _loop effects to improve frame rates

* Added player flight Tactical ID numbers

* Assigned Tactical ID numbers to all AI aircraft

* Added 2 new Generic 57th GIAP skins for player and AI Spitfires

* Revised waypoints and corrected where needed

* Corrected GUI mission briefing map so waypoints and patrol areas display correctly

* Changed subtitle size and color so they are more visible and consistent

* Revised player and enemy aircraft AI levels so gameplay is more balanced and you don't get mauled due to improved AI behavior.

* Revised numbers of enemy aircraft for the same reason as above.

* Reduced wind speed in various missions to reduce or prevent AI takeoff and landing errors

* Changed primary mission goal complete 1 minute after player takeoff so you do not have to return to base on every mission to progress to next mission.

* Repaired mission logic so all waypoints and attack commands proceed according to mission plan.

* Corrected takeoff flares so they fire when player flight is ready for takeoff. 

* Corrected grammar in English mission briefings

* Various minor mission logic changes to fix timing errors

Plans can change though. For instance, sometimes I've noticed plans to release a group of aircraft, but one needs more work and gets pushed back one or two patches. So three aircraft in the next patch can very easily turn into one aircraft in the next patch and two in the patch after.

 

As for announced aircraft, there is the WACO CG-4A glider, R.E.8, IAR-80, and IAR-81 already announced (plus three new aircraft for sometime next year).

My guess would be the Waco, R.E.8, and the other variant of the Albatros D.II (with the radiator in the wing), since that didn't come out yet and is the only other FC Vol.III aircraft not out.

No Albatros D.II with different radiator was ever anounced
