Today's update shows a long term bug finally destroyed by Team Fusion!

Many months were spent looking at one of the really irritating issues that for some reason defied detection.

The issue of the Ai Pilots and crews deciding to wear their dress uniform into combat! Fortunately one of the newer members of Team Fusion had been 'tinkering' with this effect and shared it with the rest of the team for testing.

One issue that came to light was that Pilots wearing Irvin Flying jacket would often 'clip' through the side of the Spitfire, so part of the jacket was visible on the outside of the aircraft fuselage.

Queue more work and now the Pilots fit inside the aircraft perfectly and wear authentic flying/combat uniforms (well at-least in comparison to dress uniform!).

Work on other features is still continuing, although work on any new additions for TF v4.2 has now stopped and Beta testing, especially on FM/DM is intensively underway.

News will follow once we have a date we expect to release v4.2.

Cheers, MP/TF

great work mate, thanks.

Maybe they all thought of going out, now they are back in service. I don't know if they are happy now. I wouldn't, but I'm not an AI so I'm very happy with it.

Unfortunately, very few RAF BofB pilots wore the Irvin flying jacket, most had collar and ties on when flying. And thats straight from a few of the very pilots themselves

I'm with Puff, most images I've seen of RAF BoB pilots are in their uniform, including collar and tie.

I would imagine they have just fixed a bug, not defining the Irvin flying jacket as the only outfit option.

Both, and...

Thanks for the replies guys. Currently the clothing they wear would be generic to all Ai pilots, so it would be one suit fits all. Looking at your images of the RAF Pilots it seems that the main thing that needs changing is the head wear when actually flying?

Of the two following images then, which do you think would look the most authentic...sadly it can't be both, but your Pilot can wear what he wants






Cheers, MP

1st image gets my vote.

Yep, 1st image looks good for that stage of the war.

WB.

The ideal (I know that game dont allow ).

First pilot for fighters.

Second for Blenheim (and Tiger Moth)




Good pictures here:

And to complicated the things, for German aces too.

Definitely the first of Mystics two images.

1st image, but I wouldn't delay 4.2 for it if it was going to take a long time to do...

1st image as well for me

Hi Mp/TF
1st image gets my vote given a generic choice for summer 1940.

1 please

Okay, (RAF discussion) so if we could get Pilots only to wear Image 1 clothing and any crew to wear Image 2, this would mean all single engine fighter Ai wear Image 1 clothing (popular vote) but if the aircraft were multi crew, the Pilot would be wearing Image 1 clothing and the crew would be in Image 2 clothing? Is that a compromise?

It's that or everyone in the crew wears image 1 clothing?

Cheers, MP

I'll go with the compromise even though it's probably not historically accurate. BoB fighter pilots looked like image 1 because they were not in the air for long and often had to run to their machine to scramble. Multi-crew plane pilots didn't have to scramble and were airborne for longer - more time to get cold. Life is all about compromise and this one is much better than what we have at the moment.

RedToo.

I think that MP propose is a good compromise, close to some Blenheim crews:



RAF have some "flamboyant" too:

Looking at just the Luftwaffe and Italian Pilots only (not crew).

Thoughts?
