Patch Note Discussion December 2024

[ouky1991]

In case you have a flickering fog, make sure you don't have NIS on (nvidia image scaling found in Nvidia control panel). Turning it off solved the flickering problem for me, and now the fog works fine even with DLSS / DLAA.

[TOViper]

I found out that the new "Multi selection" tool cannot handle carrier groups with aircraft on it. Or I am doing something wrong?
Once all groups (aircraft, carrier and linked statics) are selected, and then moving them around via mouse, they somehow "dissolve".
The aircraft that initially had been linked to the carrier (no matter if cold or hot) and the linked static objects are moved somewhere else.
See video:

Otherwise, nice update with that fog.
The same fog setting seems to be "thinner" at night than during day, or is it just an illusion?

Mine was already off. Still flickers.

Thats strange, I assumed it had somenthing to do with upscaling, both in game via DLSS or in the control panel with NIS, since setting MSAA initially solved it. Maybe I just got lucky but I haven't seen any flickering since.

Sounds like Iraq is coming today judging by Patch Status post and this:

[BIGNEWY]

Yes, last chance for pre-order discount which will end when the patch goes live. 

Patch will focus on Iraq North launch. 

 

We will try to have another patch in December for some fixes.

I've copy-pasted the carrier templates with aircraft multiple times, over different maps (ie - Caucasus to Syria). Sometimes it takes a few seconds to paste. Additionally, try clicking the selection tool box on the left menu bar on the map you want to paste to before you ctr-v the carrier group.

Hello Mr BIGNEWY
Can we expect with the arrival of IRAQ the update of the South Atlantic announced? Or just IRAQ?
Thanks in the meantime for your work 

[BIGNEWY]

Focus is Iraq this time. 

SA winter textures will be in a future patch. 

thank you 

[PLUTON]

We Steam-heads requite all pertinent information.

Personally, I'll be wait for the update of the Afghanistan map first, before taking out my wallet for the Iraq map.
Yes, the Afghanistan map was announced as being enhanced by an upgrade of the terrain, but the timescales have absolutely nothing to do with what was announced at the time of the release... And for my part, I'm waiting for facts rather than speeches before buying a new map or a new module.
So wait & See....

No problem, we understand if you need to wait. As mentioned Afghan is taking a little more time than expected with updates, but work is in progress by a different team and we will share more soon.
