Any significant changes between 5.51 and 5.52?

[Steel Jaw]

I looked at it.

 

UNFORTUNATELY...the F16 2d and 3d pits are still HIDEOUS.

 

FF team wastes far far too much time making other pits rather than fixing the 16 pit!!!

 

This is a deal breaker for me.

 

NO GO.

Why did you expect good pit graphics in old game engine?

The OF 4.7 3d pit is STELLAR.

I hate Open Falcon so Please don't Hijack my Thread with that crap Sim! I don't know what Pit you're in, but check the CG or CJ, there are also some aftermarket Pits from Aeyes that rock. Check out my vids and you'll see the F16 Pits are sweet, there is only one default ugly F16 pit and you must have found it. We hardly ever fly the F16's anyway we're flying all the other stuff (F14's are SICK!)

 

The 5.52 Change Log:

 

- Taxi Signs "wrong directions" fixed

- Tornado center line rack fixed

- Airbase runway numbering bug fixed

- HUD "too dim info" bug fixed

- 3D cockpit ECM light fixed

- 3D cockpit TACAN switches transparent panel fixed

- A-7 nose gear "rotation reversed" fixed

- A-6 "nav lights black" fixed

- Setup current weather (Sunny, Fair, Poor or Inclement) used for weather of TE's, training missions, Instant Action and Dogfight. Disable this feature with ffviper.cfg "set g_bUseTEWeather 1".

- Aeyes' Sea Tiles

- New terrain tiles. Thanks to Fighting Falcon for providing some of the elements used to make these new tiles. Tiles include fartiles and new night tiles provided by Khronik's new tool. This terrain is phase 1. We have really examined the current tile sets and have found many errors. Our intent at this time is to take this terrain to another level in a future upgrade.

- SAM missile MIN and MAX ranges have been researched and improved.

- Improvements to the AI.s reaction to threats and the way they can maneuver. Thanks to sortofred.

- Scramble missions have been looked at and we have made a change that MAY return this feature. If you experience a request for a Scramble mission, let us know.

- Aircraft sensors have been corrected and adjusted. This includes the reports of non functioning MFD's in the Tornado GR4, Jaguar, SU-33, B-1, AV-8 and the A-10 among others.

- Some additional weapons were added for aircraft contained in the 3 Theaters.

- AJ37 fix

- BK-90 fix

- GBU-38 Fix

- default F-16 cockpit fix

- F-5E Fuel Bug fix

- All of the Training TE's have been upgraded to match our new data base.The remaining custom TE's have been scrubbed, improved and

matched to our data base. Thanks to RAM22

- Some code changes that will assist with the '5 minutes after the hour' stutter.

- Instant Action has changed. Stock Korea uses the F-16 for Air to Air, the F-4ESK for A2G. Korea 2012 uses the F-22 for A2A and the F-15E for A2G. Eurowar uses the Mirage 2000 F5 for A2A and the Tornado GR 4 for A2G.

- We think we fixed Dog Fight?

- the Digital Map and Threat Circle f4Patch issue has been fixed.

- New skins for the HAF F-16 B52 C & D models. Thanks to Pigasos.

Open Falcon crap? LMAO. You discredit yourself with that remark.

 

The issue I raise remains legit: the 16 pits need to be fixed. Aeyes doesnot scale properly, the default ones need to be fixed and widescreen properly supported.

 

Carry on.

Please forgive me for my English, I use a translator. But on my system, Windows 7 x64, NVIDIA GF8800GT, FF5.51 does not work.

Mower Thank you very much

[Steel Jaw]

Make sure you get the beta drivers from the link in my first post then rename FFViper.exe to FalconAF.exe to trick the nVidia driver.

Clear, thanks

IMHO FF 5 3D pits are quite good. I haven't seen OF pits long time so I can't say they are good or bad. However mostly I play in 2D pit, where I love Stopworks pit:

 

 

Some say it is too sterile - for me it is great pit texture :]

 

Tornado 3D:

 

 

2D:

 

 

Quite nice :)

 

I don't see any significant changes between 5.52 and 5.51 so I am not going to reinstall it again ;]

[asparagin]

Yeah it's working also on my old one (win x86, 8800GT). I still get sometimes the green screen when in 3D and have to restart. Also the encylopedia is broken. In AF you could fix that but here I haven't found a way yet.

Wow... you're a dildo and I mean that with the utmost respect. :thumbup: If you're analyzing that kind of stuff you have bigger issues my man. Those things TO ME are barely noticeable and hardly even matter in the grand scheme of things. You're to savvy for your own good so nothing is ever going to satisfy you anyway :music_whistling:

 

Now lets go fly dammit!

[Steel Jaw]

LOL Im on your TS right now yacking with RAM22. :D

[BLuDKLoT]

I couldn't figure out how to post these but here are some shots I just took from 5.52 / F-16 CG

 

[BLuDKLoT]

I wouldn't have anyway.

[Steel Jaw]

I wouldn't have anyway.

 

I know that bud.

 

We're too small a community to burn bridges amongst ourselves.

 

Thanx for your contributions in keeping a FF server. :thumbup:

 

It sucks to be you since I may start hanging out there more. :D

 

Gonna try Aeyes payware pits, bought them over the years. Maybe I can fly the F15 or 18.

[BLuDKLoT]

Welcome!
