PATCH!! PATCH!!! PATCH!!! ooooweeeeeeeooo

[Tumble]

The africa maps are a bit buggered..

way way way overmodelled overheats, overheats in a matter of seconds in most of the planes, opening rad to max and dropping to 60% didn't work, had to reduce throttle to 30% and it eventually cleared.. wooh, only just enough airspeed to keep airbourne..

Soooo, looking forward to 2.02 then?

Just 2 weeks away pal

its now Thurs am...... 12 minutes in and 82% complete

I WANT YAKS

One thing i have to say about the Spitty though, and that I had to get it trimmed just so, otherwise i found in combat it was a mess to handle. Get it trimmed up right and it just seemed to do what i wanted it too

I loved ripping BOA_BRAVO's wing off with it last night superb. Those cannons are uber nice - managed to get 2 kills with one life and get back home and land

Anything like that gets a big TICK in the box

MMmmmm, cant wait, left it downloading lastnite n then went to the birds house, should b all nice n downloaded when I get home, should be online for about 8....

AAAArgh... got it last night but I'm working tonight!!! Bugger....

[Skii]

Thats some serious nut+boltage in that Spit cockpit - I can only assume theres some serious bullet proof glass in those panels

[[GSV]Trig]

Hope theres more around the engine as well....
Mmmm mk9 goodness

[Skii]

Mmmm mk9 goodness

Its a fire breathing biatch m8 - be sure

[TiG]

You damn right there Skii, It looks scary when you first get into the plane, Although I have to say one of the New Yak's has superb rear visibility, although i find that i can stall and flat spin these new Yak's well easy.

The only other thing to mention is that i've found that they've changed the modeling characteristics for the fact of you getting a whole in your wing, i tend to take a lot of fire when flying dogfight servers and had problems turning in the direction of the wholed wing.

Luke had the same problem when i put a whole in his right wing (checked the track last night luke, definitely punch 2 shells through your right wing very close the the fuselage).

I'd like to test a couple of bits on a DF server with some other marlins to get a view on this please?

Haven't tested it fully.. but flying an IL2 last night... rudder and elevator gone almost instantly I flew into light flak..... Don't know whether it's just a one-off fluke shot, but I didn't have time to fully test it...

[Zak33]

Yak's can all flat stall easily.......the Yay3 has by far best rear vis..all glass....

[[GSV]Trig]

We up4 some patched goodness 2nite then, I should be home n up by about 8, we gonna have a locked DF server for a bit of messing with the new kites?

[Nick]

I hope everyone has got this now. I left a torrent seed running all night... the upload was well into gigabytes by the time I had to come to work... I shut my machine down for a rest...

I'll try and get on laters, can't promise anything though... been out/working the last coupla nights and haven't seen the trouble for a bit..... time for some quality time...

[Stoo]

I'm sure they've rushed it an put a bunch more bugs in the game..

[[GSV]Trig]

Deffo a backup b4 we play then

[Skii]

Well they've fixed the gunnery for starters - LW 20mm actually does some damage to Yaks + Spits now, the new DesertMT map is lush, but a little choppy on framerates around the beach area.

The I-185 is just ridiculous, I dunno why the Russkies bothered building Jet Fighters with prop planes this bloody fast

The Spit is without any shadow of a doubt now the best allied fighter in the game IMO, as an all-rounder nothing else touches it. Beautiful piece of kit and THE plane to be feared in dogfight servers now.

God this B-25 needs to be flyable though
