Posted by Sneaksie,

5.504b Patch An air drag calculation error of damaged aerodynamic elements of WWI airplanes has been fixed (it made the airplanes with damaged surfaces fly faster instead of slower); There were some reports that improved AAA gunners skill sometimes resulted in killing players in one shot so this change was toned down (AAA skill is low on Enemy Inferiority career setting as it was before the 5.504 update, low or medium on Parity setting and medium on Enemy Superiority setting).

Nice updates!  Downloading IL2 and MSFS 2024 at the same time which will finish first?  I put my money on IL2.

 

Download update - Gave up on MSFS after about an hour at 97%.  IL2 is downloading at less than 100 KBS so it will take days to finish.  I have a 1.3 GB service so IL2 updates usually finish in just a few minutes.  Something must be wrong with the servers. I think I need to find something else to do (drinking?) and try downloading again in a week or so.

 

Update - went with the drinking option which is working out very well and the best part is I do not need to wait for my beer to download.  Or do I?

There was a bit of a delay (20m) with the game being unplayable (said update required) and Steam not letting us get the update in time. All sorted out now.

Does this mean bomb fuse timers now work for on contact?

Once upon a time (in the West) advice from support was: switch off your antivirus. PS right now downloading is quite slow    ...

I think this is for tank HEAT rounds, not bombs, meaning the round will explode on striking a building or the ground rather than just impacting like a solid shot.

Does this also apply to the later models like G6 Late without MW-50 and G6-AS wtihout MW-50?

Fantastic news, been waiting for this. FC IV bought.

 

Just waiting for it to load up but boy is it slow, not even 100KBs at the moment even though speed checker confirms my internet speed is 25Mbs at present.

Just flew a career bomber escort mission i. BoK and was getting flashing red text at top of screen saying ADD or DELETE. I assume this is debugging info that was meant to be removed.

Same here.  Downloading at 100 KB/s.  Going to bed and will check in the morning to see if it's done.

Since up date I can't see any servers on multiplayer! Reset twice now, but no joy. Anyone have any ideas?

This is normal. The master server needs to be updated before you can use them.

If we purchase FC IV, will it show up in our regular game running off steam?

I am unclear as to why Amazon has anything to do with purchasing/ downloading IL2 products. I have always just purchased through the IL2 website store….Is Amazon just an option?
