Update 65 is out.

i Everybody!

Summer, the last season that divides us from the release date is coming really soon. And the remaining 3 months are going to give all the early access owners a chance to try almost every one of the game’s feature before the launch later in September. Today's update is mostly fixing the bugs that have been reported during the past week. Also, w have enabled air resistance to gun and bomb pods and added new features to the MP stats system, etc..

Since this week’s game version is not rich in changes we decided to get a bit educational.



Firstly, we publish a guide that would help amature bomber pilots to get better aquanted with the Pe-2 bomb sight.



Secondly, many of you already know about the Network settings in the game menu. This is where you can apply the most effective parameters for received and sent traffic. This section of the Settings is specifically useful in these two cases:
- you have a very fast unlimited internet and you’d like to take the best from the game; also the position of planes around you will be shown as precise as possible
- you have slow internet and connection is not reliable, but you want to play with comfort and enjoy playing without “warps”, “teleportations” and so on.



How it works if settings are incorrect:
1) You have slow internet connection, but in-game settings are for fast connection. This causes other planes to slow down and your own plane is not controlled smoothly.
2) You have fast internet, but your in-game settings are for slower internet. That causes all planes around you seem to be flying oddly slow.


How it should work when set up properly:
a) Find out the speed of your internet connection (use this test, for instance; EU server - Dublin, US server - San Jose);
b) Divide this number into 4;
c) Put the result into the Downloading speed field (if the test result is 10Mb/s or less, put 1 or 2 into the settings);
d) Uploading speed may stay default which is 1Mb/s (but you may down it to 256kb/s is your uploading speed is limited for some reason)

Considering the listed principles, you may experiment with network settings. But what you must keep in mind is that you should not underestimate or overestimate your internet connection quality.

And thirdly, we announce the list of unlockable modifications for Fw 190 A-3 fighter which is going to be available in Early Access in a few weeks.
