Very nice sounds! Now the 109 is alive! Hope that it will run smooth as i can enjoy the palne

Thanks for the update, and keep up the good work!

This patch if all goes well will fix some things that are broken, the sound in that video is fantastic!...but there is still alot more to fix.
The list is long and this is another step towards a working, releasable version of CLOD.
It seems they are working and will carry on working...so its good news.

Im sooooooooo looking forward to testing that 109 start up!

Sounds really great.

Just like to echo some of the other posts made in this thread - don't expect too much as this is still a beta. (I am looking forward to hearing a merlin though )

Thanks for the update information. I hope the change log is as promising as the video, but nevermind, I´ve got patience.

Go to you C:/User/Document/1C Soft Club/Cliffs of Dover - Folder, find the folder Cache and delete all files inside this folder and inside the subfolder, but do not delete the subfolder itself. But beaware, that all downloaded skins will be gone and you have to transmit all the skins again, in case you are regularly flying with fellas and got used to their skins.

Finally, something good. Nice update, thank.

Sorry for making you wait for an update. Here it is!

We’ve been working very hard on multiple aspects of the game. We are pushing with all our might to have the beta version of the upcoming patch ready… Well, sooner than you might think! If nothing goes wrong, it might even be out this very Friday.

As stated earlier, it’ll contain a beta version of the completely new sound (fewer individual engine models, sparse ambience), revamped color processing algorithms, transparent shorelines, and numerous fixes and improvements. It’ll also contain the Bf-109E-4 and E-4/B and at least one new mid-size online map.

Following that, we have other things in the works. We are finally ready to start knocking out SDKs, with the map making SDK being the first one you’ll see – quite soon, too! We’ll release more details on that, and on the plane-making SDK, after the upcoming beta patch is fully tested and goes live.

We also have a rather cool new major feature almost ready. It’s not going to make this patch. In order to keep the competitors squirming, we won’t say what it is until we’re ready to release it.

With that, here’s a short video showcasing the new WIP sound. It’s recorded on a deprecated version of the patch, after which we’ve toned down the ocean colors and filled in the sounds. The biggest omission is the turbine whine of the Daimler-Benz. Don’t worry, you’ll hear it in the actual patch.

(I didn’t want to make an update without the video, and by the time I finally captured and spliced it together, the game version advanced way ahead. And by the time I make a new video of the sound as it is today, you’ll all be playing it yourselves!)

I thought i would bump this bit as sometimes conversation goes abit awry so to keep focussed.

Thanks for the update. Its starting to look and sound great. Can't wait for the release!

Great update. As my faith failed Lutheir revived it.
Great job on the sound from the video. Am I to assume all planes will have sound? I refer to the black death track were the 110's are silent
