Last look of the new Alb D.II skin set. Thanks to all the folks that sent me all the great info that I was able to generate a much more historic look and color wing set that looks color correct to the game.

Also note the new correct German national insignia for the D.II. I had them wrong... and the "paint-over" look as if done in the field as it work historically.

2 more weeks... HAHAHAHA!

Some more of the new features include:

- Implemented dynamic air turbulence which makes each craft look more real as the pilots jostle to keep formation individually - varies each mission with some overriding criteria:
> 1) Depends on local wind speed - and weather patterns
> 2) Clear days may be turbulent or smoother
> 3) Gets worse in cloud

> Improved in cloud air turbulence.

> Implemented extra workshops setting that allows player to have wind affecting AI aircraft but not his own aircraft

- AI will now spend more time in 'A2A_Seek' looking for targets in A2A before going to A2A_Formup, also revised the limits on number of attackers per target.

- AI that are in A2A_Formup now 'check tail' to defend against potential attackers


and here the SE5, improved engine and cowl areas, radiator, wheels and more. Here it appears to have lost a wheel..

The first time I viewed this picture something just didn't seem right to me. Tonight I went back and increased the screen resolution to 100% and sure enough, I knew it, this Se5 is fly fishing for DVIIFs with a #7 line and a 3 pound tippet. I think DVIIF season is actually over, but mums the word here mates! winkngrin

Blade, it is the safety tether, so that the wheel won't hit the spectators when it detaches.

No No No! I used to be a professional Fly Fishermen back in the day Sir, even built my own poll and tied my own flies. This is a classic case of Fly Fishing, cane poll, no reel, set length line, light tippet and a barb less hook. It is the purest style of Fly Fishing with a new twist to stir the interest of all the young bucks. Trolling with an Se5! yep

Let us hope you can catch some trout with it then, Blade.
Pol, isn’t it time for another feature reveal? Hope it’s a screenshot of an unrecognizable part of the new plane!

And now for some more info:

> Improved formation target selection criteria when scanning skies to prevent chasing targets that are 'running' at medium range or greater,
or re-engaging targets that have previously been abandoned in A2A.

> Revised Speeds at which craft explode when flipping over - craft should now be less likely to explode - also improved pilots survivability in 'on ground' crashes.


Also, on this point aircraft now have damageable gear as shown in my previous post with the SE5 pic and landing without gear is more interesting now wink


> Ground proximity now has less of a bearing on AI reaction to threats.


> Aircraft will now start fighting for a period of time before doing morale checks to prevent immediately switching out of A2A and running.


> Reduced frequency of 'all 4 wing' failures.


> Improved Ground Avoidance code (now as per WOTR).


> Lots of improvement work on terrain, including small towns, better trees, improved railyards, many changes to get a more natural look! More colours, more blending and the area outsde of the WW1 area now will look more natural and much more (and more to come).


Some stunning views now (Work in Progress) :

This is huge. Love it. Also, that terrain looks amazing. Don't know how you guys do it but it's absolutely impressive.

Stunning! All of the changes sound like the immersion will be stepping up even higher, but those two pictures take the cake. Absolutely gorgeous! Pol, have you and your testers noted any concerning FPS changes?

Lovely. Just lovely!
I’m liking all those improvements to the AI.
Is this the new terrain xjouve was working on?
Also, are those new wheels on that Nieuport? That, and the engine of course.

Well spotted Fullofit. There are many aircraft with new or improved wheels - the Nieuport 11 has some improvements the wheels are the same but there are wheel wing nuts etc.

Not sure if WM has xjouve's terrain in - but xjouve seems to have vanished so it is the same one that is out there if it is.
