ANTI-CHEATING MEASURES

 

To prevent cheating by exploiting altered visibility range settings in the graphics.cfg file, the the \Config\ServerGraphics.cfg has been created. Some parameters of graphics.cfg are exported to this file, which is included in the file integrity check system for online play. If the file contents on the client machine differ from the host’s, the client will not be able to connect.

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------

 

FLIGHT MODEL CHANGES

 

+ Fixed an error in the F-15 polar curves that had caused a reduction in time required to achieve sustained turn rate at reduced speeds.

+ For the A-10 and F-15, added automatic flaps extension/retraction based on indicated airspeed when the flaps are set in the “down” position in the cockpit.

+ For the Su-27 and Su-33, adjusted the flaperon mechanization logic (the indicator will blink while the flaperon is adjusting depression angles – this is not a bug).

+ MiG-29 flaps will move with the wind force.

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------

 

ERROR PROBABILITY FOR RADAR-GUIDED MISSILES ON LOW ALTITUDE

 

Increased the error probability for radar-guided missiles (ARH, SARH, radio-command guided) based on altitude above ground. Currently the error probability increases from 300 meters to 0. Maximum error probability is at ground level for a target with minimum radial velocity. Error probability is reduced as radial velocity increases to 500 km/h. Above 500 km/h, error probability is minimal regardless of altitude.

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------

 

TRACK IR

 

For proper functionality, TrackIR software needs to be update via the “Check for Game Updates” command in the TrackIR software.

FAQ

 

Q: Upon mission start, the game does no respond to commands and does no unpause. Some buttons do not work, I am unable to save and restore a control profile.

 

A: Most likely your system has either PuntoSwitcher or NewView software installed. Add the simulation executables (launcher.exe and simulator.exe) to PuntoSwitcher exceptions or stop the program while running the game. For NewView, you will need to rename the working NewView folder prior to starting Flaming Cliffs 2.

 

 

PD: oh no, second XD

For those who bought the russian version I've found the link for you:

There are two patches, the first one is for 1C disc version and the second one is for the download version from ED website (the one you probably have)

[connos]

Thanks ED, Downloading!!!!

[Nate--IRL--]

Thanks ED.

[elchacal]

Excelent!

[Speedbrake]

Patch...? Just Wondering

 

The patch is titled 1.2.1 but the simulation is v2.0! Shouldn't the patch be v2.01 or 2.1?

 

Or was Flaming Cliffs 2 really 1.2? Uninformed minds would like to know.

 

:music_whistling:

[GGTharos]

It's a logic bomb for you. ;)

[pvtkramer]

the simulator.exe was version 1.0.2.0 before the patch and now it is version 1.2.1.0 after being patched.

[Axion]

Cheers ED!

[Speedbrake]

Twilight zone....my head is spinning!

[159th_Viper]

So are we able to fly the copter now?

 

Development of 1.2.1 FC2 patch is finished and we'll focus on BS 1.0.2 patch now. Currently RC2 is in progress.

 

;)

[foxwxl]

Yeah~GREAT NEWS

[Renato71]

Thanks!

 

BTW, whats with the numbering 1.2.1 ? Kinda confusing, better to be 2.0.1 or alike, no?

This is not a complaint but in what grounds was ECM friend or foe been removed in the patch? AFAIK real planes can tell the difference based on radar type frequencies used by the different aircraft (depending on ELINT).

[Case]

Great news! Thanks for getting this done so quickly!

A picture showing STRONG AIs.... watch out for the info bar

^^ haha.. well you know AI is not human.. it can take easily 13G

[Postal2]

Yeahhhhhhh good new that !

13G's........Negligible if you're John Paul Stapp ;)

 

Try 46G's in an afternoon at the office - All in a Day's Work :D

[Robin_Hood]

It is quite possible to take 13 instantaneous Gs. Sustained Gs would be a problem, however.

 

Great that the patch is out :thumbup:

[Robin_Hood]

Flaming Cliffs 1 was Lock On 1.1, so it sounds normal that Flaming Cliffs 2 would be Lock On 1.2 ;)

 

simulator.exe version seems quite confused, though :megalol:
