Patch road map ?

I am indeed. When we do fly some historical battels, most of us are falling down due to lack of fuel or lack of lifting surfaces generally.

Perhaps next time you try it you could watch the oil and water temps carefully and record any excessive temps that occur during the climb. A recorded track would be even better.

Cheers

I really think the real aircraft handles its nominal climb boost and revs up to the top, that is 2850 rpm 6 1/4 boost up to 30'000 ft, and we're still far from that.

Should be cross checked, but in my mind, it should handle that.

But I really think that's side effects from inadvertant engine and flight model changes. They are not documented anywhere that I know and one has to try to see what is working and what is not.
I used to read the historical manual, but what you find does'nt essentially apply to CoD.

Boost and maybe mixture settings may be the culprit.
I havent flown the Hurri in the latest patch but the spit requires careful attention to RPM, Boost, Mixture and Prop Pitch to manage RPM/Boost, or it will fail after about 10mins of abuse.

In particular I now have to manage mixture which I havent had to do before the patch. The Hurri maybe different but just something to consider.

Yes, to be considered.
If it's modelled right, mixtures pulled back is rich, then it shall be ok. And when pushing away, the engine's rough under many conditions.

I've also learned that it should'nt be the case since they are normally auto rich and auto lean so lean shall work better in theory.

In the patch notes it was said that the boost gauges aren't displaying the correct values.
Maybe you overboosted without realizing it.

Yes but apparently ok on Hurricane, anyway the boost is part of a factory setting and I don't think one can over boost unles using the boost cutout.

Up to 6 1/4 (6,25) it's the rated (the gate). Should be allowed continuously except that it may impact on the engine's lifetime, thought I don't think it should fail during the flight really.
That is at < 2850 rpm.

Nevertheless I usually fly at lower rpm. Surely enough speed and rad fully opened + temeprature checks should be done, but when I failed the engine, I do not recall it was too warm.

Hi,

No idea when a patch could be available yet ? It's long wait.

[jf1981]

From now on, we are planning campaigns, some informations on patch would be welcome to the least.

[FS~Phat]

Just to clear up for you guys, Blacksix has made it pretty clear that there is still work to be done on catching bugs in the new graphics engine as the first priority.
From this one can deduce that it may be some time before we get the next official patch as they want the next patch to fix 99% of the new engine issues before turning to focus on the last remaining CLOD gameplay issues. This means catching as many beta bugs now as possible.

The Following is also still confirmed as being worked on; (in no particular order)
1. FM is constantly being tweaked.
2. clouds: shadows and self-shadows, reflection on water, source light influences
3. Radio Comms
4. AI
5. AA
6. Skin weathering

No guarantee that these will all be perfected until perhaps the sequel but they are currently being worked on.

These are currently the facts. Any more wild speculations and harassment of B6 or the devs will not be tolerated. This goes for both sides of the camps that like to argue. Any overstated comments trolling, whether being on the supporters or detractors side, will be deleted with no further warnings.

You guys that make broad sweeping and unfounded statements about the future of the game are not appreciated.

B6 will providing further information on Monday as stated in the community thread.

The thread will be locked if you can't be respectful and truthful.

Hi

I'm sorry if this thread was becoming wild that it 's been necessary to clean up, but frankly speaking, it's the first time such long time has passed from the issue and the cleanup of a software.

It's not yet, as I use to say, to a state where it should have been released 'clean'. Surely enough nowaday such complex sims take some weeks or months to get stable.

I'm personally wondering if there is really an interest in working out Cliffs of Dover. I mean thanks for the sequel, but we're waiting for the first opus to be clear and clean, we're barely flying as possible online, but it's far from the interest it's got to have.

Is there an interest from development to make a step ? Just wondering. Has'nt been very much clear yet.
