The antenna on top of the fuselage is a problem here. Many countries with F-5E do not fly the version with the antenna, therefore this addidtion breaks the realism

yes the team are aware and will tweak it. 

thanks

So we didn't get any map updates, I at least thought Afghanistan part 1 would have had an update by now, it's been nearly 6 months.

@BIGNEWY How about service hatches in the new F-5? I see the shortcut there, I tried it hot and cold, but it doesn't seem to do anything. But I've seen them open in the Remaster video (12s). Is it coming later or am I doing something wrong? It's a little thing, but it would be a pleasure, of course. I guess that's why it's in the video.

RShft RAlt and H work for me. If you don't get it working feel free to send me a track and I can see if I can see anything wrong.

Supercarrier IFLOLS is now only visible in the overlay. I have volumetric light turned on, the meatball isn't visible whatever I do. Tried it in both Case 1 and Case 3, both with ball call.

It's best to make a separate report in the Supercarrier section with a track please.

I created a mission in Syria on the Israeli side
with super carrier, I installed 5 F18c at the start of the cold parking
and of course mine which makes 6 f18c at the start of the aircraft carrier
but 2 of the planes remain blocked on the deck with the flight directors with their arms in the air, I manage to be catapulted but here I am I can't land because with these 2 planes blocked I don't have permission to
land.
I tried to remove 2 planes to see if that changes but unfortunately no
it only works with me and another plane
what did I do wrong??
Thanks for the help
have a good flight

You have to see it first to see HOW transparent and strange it is now.

Yeah, I noticed. Could be a little more opaque, while I've never seen one in real life.

Are the two campaigns the same missions, but with different planes, or are they two completely different campaigns?

Looks like the ball is off in the super carrier and the regular carrier too. Anyone else having this issue? The ball not turned on in the actual carrier models but the overlay works fine. In the russian carrier it works as expected. I created a bug report:

Amazing work to all involved with the work on the new fog/dust effects, they are truly fab well done ED! 

edit: wow also the rain/cloud effects look way better too, I love the shadowing and illumination effects.

Any documentation for the new carriers ops please

[waterman]

Thankyou and well done.

*** Hey In the Mission Editor

If you use the Multi Select tool and Box select some items including zones then click    "Ctrl+c to copy them"

Now load a different mission that even uses a different map eg - normandy.

Now select the Multi Select Tool and place mouse where you want to paste and click   "Ctrl+v"

Note if you dont have the Multi Select Tool active then Zones are not pasted !

Copied items from one map to another just like a universal template.

Have fun till you trip up on the next NEW BUG ! ***

The Multi Selection Tool in Mission Editor is great !

Love how it shows selection and you can tweek selection etc.

I have made some Animated Static railway signals that consist of 5 objects the signal post and 2 go arms and 2 stop arms that need to be lined up perfectly on top of each other a frustrating proceedure !

The new tool now makes this super easy -

Just box select a perfectly positioned set of 5 -  copy "Ctrl c" and place as many as needed paste "Ctrl v" Done !

Nice Job.

The first option, the same missions but different planes, however you can notice different speeches.

The fog is an excellent update.  The Strike Eagle really comes into it's own now with auto-TFR low-level IMC missions.  It really suits the Kola map.  I only wish we could get some way to disassociate and independently set swell from the wind speed, so we can set up some authentic winter North Sea 2nd Fleet carrier ops.

The mission editor copy/paste is a very welcome addition, 

Honestly, I'm struggling to see a huge difference in the F-5, though I admit it is not my most flown aircraft.

Is it the same missions? Are you sure? I'm positive Reflected said it was two completely "different campaigns", (mission sets), while happening during the same time and at the same place. So, basically set during the same campaign.

"Same mission" happens on 2 different dates...hum...you'll be the judge.

Is it possible to get the hatch open on an AI unit. Like putting on on ram with uncontrolled?

[BigBorner]

Any infos on why the Jeff’s CM400 AKG still wasn’t made available? Is there any timeline at all?

tried this and it didn't work, tried to bind all the 3 options to my flight kit, and also didn't work

[Mric29]

Beautiful fog but I no longer have TADS or PNVS display in pilot seat AH-64! (it's OK for the CPG)

 

[Tomcatter87]

Really like the new update so far - gonna change the weather in a lot of missions now  I also like the plane captains and directors. They really add a lot of immersion. 

We'll have to take that into account when building populated carrier decks, of course. To avoid being directed into static objects in front of the island, I'll use a script to delete statics on elevators 1 and 2. Also two spots in front of elevator 1 1 are empty in most of my deck layouts.
