How can I change time and weather with the new version? Can't find a documentation.

• [UI/UX] Allow changing conditions such as Time, Date & Weather

Double-click on the part of the UI that shows the weather and time. Make sure you make your changes before you do any mission planning as changing that will reset the planning.

Our first Germany Cold War map campaign, Crossing the Rubicon, is now available in the latest Retribution Alpha (build #1926).

F4U-1D Corsair support has also been implemented, though WW2 Marianas map support is not ready yet.

Hello devs, 

Wah an AMAZING work Retribution truly is, thank you! I come from IL-2 SEOW world from some decade or so ago and this brings up memories. 

In the wiki introduction I see that this can be used as PvP environment. What is the support for PvP two teams in the planning phase? Is it possible to have two strategists planning Red and Blue moves for the next mission separately without the other side seeing planned missions in the planning phase in the app? That feature would be SUPERB, I would love to recreate the SEOW days.

 

Best regards

I can't see why not
Just untick the blue flight plans display when the red strategist is working its ATO

Hi, I can't fly the new high-fidelity MiG-29, only the FC3 one. Does anyone know how to configure it? Or maybe it hasn't been added yet. Thanks!

Mig-29A was just released, keep an eye on the Actions in the projec GitHub here and wait untill they integrate the new plane.

Have to say THANK YOU for this! I have, of late, begun learning the F-86 Sabre and the MiG-15 bis and after one Sabre campaign I found nothing else. Stumbled on Retribution (1,41), quickly set up a campaign (1950's) on Caucasus Black Sea map and off I went in my MiG-15. I learned just enough after a YT video to get it started,  so have a lot to learn, especially about how ground troops behave and why, but have been fragging big attack packages and am having a blast. Love the fact you can do a quick land\refuel\rearm at my forward base, have done as many as 4 sorties in one mission, even got a Medal of Honor (though I don't think N. Korea handed them out..)

I'm glad you're having fun with it! I know we've already got you sorted on the discord but for anyone else reading this, make sure you're using the latest alpha, not the old 1.4.1 because there have been a TON of new features and bug fixes since then!

Yes, all set and running 1.5.0 now, still a lot to learn but enjoying it!

I figured I should provide an update on the new features for those of you guys who don't hang out on the discord.

I think the most significant features that were implemented recently would be Electronic Warfare, Moose Support, Splash Damage 3, and Neutral Control Points.

With the addition of electronic warfare, any aircraft with a dedicated EW pod (i.e. CJS's Growler) can be used to jam enemy air defences and disrupt incoming missiles.

Having Moose script support opens up a whole bunch of Moose plugins that we can add. At the moment, we support Airboss, Soundhandler, Autolase, and MarkerOps.

Splash Damage has also been update from v2 to v3, supporting weapon cook off and other features found in the latest release (note that while Splash Damage 3 is built upon the base code of Splash Damage 2, the authors are different people).

Neutral Control Points is the final new feature I want to talk about. This new feature, along with customisable influence zones, allow campaign designers to set up neutral airfields, FOBs, and FARPs that can be captured. Squadrons can then be moved up to utilise the new control point. This new feature is particularly handy for chopper pilots as it can significantly cut down on the amount of time they need to fly to their target.

The images below demonstrate the new neutral control points (in yellow).

You mean Liberation discord? Or Retribution now has its own?

(Sorry, I'm not in the loop. Left Liberation discord a while ago since it was half-dead, and been downloading Retribution from github.)

Retribution has its own discord, which is pretty active. You can get the link either from our Github page or from the first post on this forum thread.
