Anyway, you can move the map by clicking with both mouse buttons, and dragging.

thx for the tips, but ok for the darker smoke. I understand, but what about longer smoke 4.13m

Marvellous! Simply marvellous!

What about water trails

The new one is amazing for ship. The only problem is that it's doing a straight line

Just like in real life. The trail is widening, but not much. Check google image search for 'ship wake' and youz will see.

Thank you TD!!!!

Thank you Team Daidalos for yet another great patch!

The new effects and the native widescreen (+FoV) support makes this a game-changer.

Surprised nobody commented yet on the new firing particle and smoke effects and especially how the bullets ricochet from the ground. These are simply excellent. Also digging the new subtle splash when an autocannon round hits -- no more of the old inane mini-explosions.

Gave the new aircraft a spin, I must highlight that I simply love the Hawk's cockpit, it's obvious that it is a work of love.
Really glad to see the new japanese planes too -- especially the B5N, it really fills the blank in the whole aircraft park, but the two-engined heavy fighter was important for the Japanese side (and probably will end up flying the latter more).
Not too interested in the SB right now (that's subjective, but seems like some folk really looked forward to it), but it's definately one step closer for a complete russian flyable list. What are we missing? The Tu-2 and DB-3 comes to mind as more prominent.


Summa summarum, there's still much life in the old 'gal.

Looking forward to 2023.
S!

Wanted these posted as a last update but the patch was faster than me in the end... anyway:

Smokey!

Thx very much.

I though that it was working with times. Exemple : smoke during time 15 sec before disappeared...


How to launch demo mission?

Thx very much DT for the patch.

Yes, thats right, but only for each particle (simple plane mesh with a puffy texture). They spawn with a fixed 'number per time' and so they are closer together, if you fly slowly, hence the trail is shorter.

How to launch demo mission?

I think, from FMB.
There are some single missions too.
