Community Patch avaiable

Now the planes look realistic for the sunlight we have in game. If you have custom skins made, yes, they will look very different to what you are used to seeing, but that doesn't make it unrealistic.

Here's some examples of real life sun shine effects on planes, many of these shots were taken during WWII (before anyone brings up the old paint argument).

The shine is really representative of all those pilot accounts we've read about.

And Some WWII pics:









So I wouldn't call them terribly shiny at all. I'd call it pretty close to reality and what sunlight does to a metal surface. If you need more examples of WWII pictures with shine, let me know.

Oh, and you might want to take a look at your own signature

With the size of the map and relatively low numbers of aircraft in the sky. I think that the reflections are a good thing, mainly for those who are on-line pilots. I know that it has given me a new interest to go on-line...I do like the various skins made by the community and will use both games to get some artistic shots to post

So do I! Since the last official patch cames out, I am online as well. But if you use this mod online, don't get you banned on steam? Anybody knows?
thx for replying.

@Topgum: Dont worry - no issues at all flying with the Team Fusion patch on Steam. Enjoy it, it puts CloD technically, graphically and contentwise on a new level. See you in the online skies!

No, there is no possibility of being banned on Steam, as the Server can determine whether VAC is enabled or not.

In the case of Team Fusion Mods, the server disables VAC, we don't need it because we have our own 'cheat' system which keeps players with mods other than those included in the TF patch from playing.

VAC was never enabled anyway for the original game, people were able to use hacks online and get away with it.

On TF servers, that is not possible, everyone uses the same version.

In this mod I love:

Clean skins
Trails in the sky
Hi alt fights
109E4N can climb away from anything

I hate

Reflections, when a squadron comes at you it is like attack of the mad disco lights, it just stupid looking.
Spitfires are always higher than me and I can't reach them (this is just my complain, not the mod maybe). Is it worth trying? I thought both 109E4 and Spit II had same ceiling about 36,000? What is the ceilings in the mod?

Leave France from a higher alt...I shot down 3 109N's last night in a Spit I (not Ia) 100 octane on the ATAG server. Of course I had to deal with some nasty girlfriends soon after and didn't have the speed to fully get out of the fight...I spent 10 minutes getting BnZ'd just off Calais. If not for the mission ending my parents would have received a telegram "Mr & Mrs Deacon, we regret to inform you..."

I rose to 6000m over France and then all the reports had the enemy at under 500m near France...can't win

Does this means
#1 that therefore you finding somewhere some UFOs on other Servers and
#2 you can use your own skins without risking beeing banned?
Sorry for the offtopic
