Friday, September 28 - Patch Release Candidate and Su-26!

[Verhängnis]

Please! Lot's of video of the long awaited Su-26! Since, I still cannot play...

[senseispcc]

Thanks, for this formidable and very fine work.

[SG1_Mino]

First thank for the patches.

Second: ¿Why dont have a server for download? i cant understand that you use free mirrows.
I´m saying this because when i try download the patche speedyshare say that i must pay. Sorry but this isnt serious.


Estimados Esafadores.

[mcFly]

I don't want to pay for the download, any other mirrors by now?

[ems9]

Really nice update guys! Thanks a lot for the effort!
Can't wait for the final release!

I am very grateful for this new patch, any improvement is welcome.
.. but I think they should focus all efforts on fixing the bugs reported in "http://www.il2bugtracker.com" instead, developing strange artifacts like the SU-26, with lasers and antimatter cannons etc.
Thanks and best regards

I hope this is a Typo..

You can toggle airshow smoke by injecting oil into the exhaust manifold. This is done with the WEP button by default. The default smoke is white. You can select other colors by selecting corresponding loadout options.

The plane also comes with four easter egg weapons that can be loaded onto the center pylon:

- Shotgun – fires explosive pellets with everyone’ sfavorite green tracers;
- Laser – fires a beam that sets an enemy plane alight. Effective distance is 700m;
- Antimatter mortar – fires anti-matter spitwads;
- Railgun – fires a shell that generates electromagnetic pulse that in turn destroys enemy subsystems, especially engines.

NOTE: Our artificial intelligence simply could not manage the pure awesomeness of this plane. If you try to create doom flights of railgun-armed Su-26s the AI will most likely just crash.
The Su-26 is a special type of a recon plane in the game, so other AI aircraft will mostly ignore it in missions.

the patch is very good news (presuming the spitfire and hurricane "speed corrections" are a typo), but i think it is a downward step to include some weird fantasy wonder weapons for the su26, it really detracts from what should be focused on as a ww2 simulator with realistic planes and weapons

hate to post something negative o this glorious day of a new patch, the weird fantasy weapons just seems like an odd choice while so many other issues need to be addressed

any indication the reversed controls for the allied fighters are corrected for ex ?

[adonys]

so.. nothing about:
- AI
- radio comms
- clouds

I regret to have to say it, but it doesn't sound too good to me..

I only partly agree with you. As far as I can imagine, these wonder-weapons didn´t use so much time to programm. I guess they have something like that anyway for their own purpose. For testing System-Damages, Damage-Modell, etc....
