I think that would count as a new feature, and C3PO has said there will be no new features in any of the patches, unless it's something that will be used in their next product.

I think a lot of us (myself included), just want occasional CTD/bug fixes for AF and for LP to "get on gettin' on" with their next product.

C3PO , just wondering when some of the un-skinned aircraft and ships will be skinned? and if there will be a hi-res patch for new skins?? It really sucks when you fly a 2005 mission and you see several un-skinned aircraft.

I guess this is as good a place as any:

Below are two .jpg's of the CCRP HUD and accompanying text from the 1F-16CG-34-1-1.
The text is (badly, sorry) highlighted with coordinating colors in the HUD.

Here is what I would like to see in a future product and perhaps a future update to AF:

1. The CCRP HUD has a lofting bracket which is simply modeled in AF. I think we are sophisticated enough to learn how to use one modeled after the real thing using all RL parameters.

2. CCRP uses a pitch steering bar (similar to ILS pitch steering) that drives to the SMS requested release angle. The pilot follows with the FPM and is assured of maintaining closely the profile he intended to fly. This steering bar is also used in LADD mode, which is not implemented--but looks like fun. Much of the math for LADD is in the T.O.s ....

3. Target designator symbol. It is supposed to have a pipper in the middle of the 10 milliradian box, but usually does not. In fact, I only ever see it in some training modules. I think this could be looked at. If the steerpoint diamond and TD box are coincident, the TD has priority and the diamond is occluded.

4. The TGP. Sure wish it could be implemented so that the pilot has a choice between it or the radar for all bombing modes (if carried).

5. 'Rounds Limiter' for the gun. In the real world, most jets have one to keep the pilot from exhausting the ammo too quickly with one press of the trigger.

Guess that's all for now. But I'm still looking...

Hi,

1.0.9 is out ... plse check our website for further details.

Excellent support Threep. That was quick. Superb support Threep and LP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CHANGES since release
=====================

Version 1.09
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
* Gave player a little more time to clear the runway after landing.
* Fix AI pulling up aggressively at takeoff and not flying the flyout modes
anymore.
* Section takeoffs reenabled.
* ATC will no longer at the last second give a hold short order (because of
aircraft landings) while the player is rolling onto the runway following a
previous take runway instruction.

AVIONICS / WEAPONS
* Fix an issue with Ramp Start / Idle detent not working correctly in specific
cases.

CAMPAIGN
* Correct team names for news messages in Balkans theaters.

COCKPIT
* Fix the RWR large font bug.
* Display correct AOA bracket
* Correct HUD scaling in narrow resolutions (1280x1024)
* Fix the "R" for Alt Radar position on HUD.

MULTIPLAYER
* Fix for "Ace Factor" not being updated in dogfights human vs. human.
* No client can change the server's Dogfight settings anymore. Furthermore,
only the own and AI aircraft types can be changed now.
* Fix AI bombing runways not causing hits when the host is in the UI.
* Set maximum dogfight range to 75 nm.

USER INTERFACE
* No more sound playing while importing ACMI files.
* Fix loadout view of missing fuel tank for aircraft without A2G munition
(e.g. F-14A/B).

STABILITY
* Fix CTD when joining a TE with longer callsigns.

What are the details on why there is a 75 NM limit?

There is a problem with DF at greater ranges. The simplest solution to prevent that is to limit the range. BVR isn't unknown at 75nm.

Sounds good.

What problems were there?

Griffith: please post link to the entire manual.

NO. Never. It's mine mine all MINE!


Actually, it's not mine.

I just have use of the T.O. until they want it back.

So whats the poop on v1.10?

As for me, Id rather see a series of patches that incrementally fix things then waiting for super patches, as long as no new showstoppers are injected of course.

CP30,
Did you see the post in the forum I made regarding the cabin pressure cockpit art being tied to the panel brightness switch? Definately not a show stopper unless youre the virtual pilot worried about cabin pressue.

From HyperLobby today....

Ooooh

Give us the dirt, C3P0!

cool!

Not sure if it's been covered before, but I've noticed several times with 1.09, that during the campaing (any), even though I have a AWAC flying and eligible on my comms (Keyboard "Q"), on some flights they do not reply.

I've also noticed that if some of the AI" wingies, lose comms with me also if they take to long to take off becuase of traffic. You can still "speak" to them, but you can use the "wing" command. You must speak to them individualy (i.e. "Close up"). This issue has only happened once but, the AWACS comm issue has occurred several times.

nerves - It's because you're out of range. AWACS can't reach you and can't cover the airspace you're in, I believe. Fly closer to AWACS and they should start coming back in.
