Lonecrow66 Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 I try to download the manual from the primary site and it kicks me back. I was wondering if there is new info since the beta 4 manual? Or can i just keep the one I have? --- May your takeoffs equal your landings!
Nate--IRL-- Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 No new info IIRC but a number of corrections to reflect the content in the final release. The current manual is in the DOC folder of your install directory. Nate Ka-50 AutoPilot/stabilisation system description and operation by IvanK- Essential Reading

Lonecrow66 Posted February 22, 2011 Author Posted February 22, 2011 My first impressions The new gun sound is FANTASTIC!!! It is soooo satisfying shooting that thing. The Instant Action missions have been about as smooth as it gets so far. I was able to run the first campaign mission during startup and there was some lag like usual but I had to abort because of misconfigured joystick stuff. It does seem much more polished. I still have sooo much to learn. I've had a few odd crashes in setting up the joystick but in the actual game no crashes and everything seems to be working. Not sure if maybe I missed deleting some files from the beta maybe. One thing I noticed different about the startup. After I turn the battery and inverter on, warnings are going off like crazy. I can clear the master cautions but it comes back until you get most of the systems and engines running. It never used to do this in beta 4. I see the actual mission editor was cleaned up a bit and from what i can see in the missions all the radio freqs are listed as requested. Thanks a bunch for that!! To take it one quick step further - in the next patch can you add a "Print" button when we are at the mission overview? So it prints the text with the radio freqs and the overall map and mission information? That would be cool to print on the fly and then head in without having to do too much note taking.. Lazy I know but not all of us have all night and want to run the missions. Wish there were a few more training missions but we can see them on youtube or we'll start to get the community rolling on this. I noticed you touched up the bridges the way they look, added railing etc and some grass around the outside. Unfortunately the grass sidings now sort of flutter in and out of the clipping plane when you watch in the tgp or bomb view. Only one bridge so far that I've seen though. It also seems that its quite hard to kill paratroopers with the gun :) You can take out the trucks but if I go around for the troops its just not working :) At least not with CM. Just seems tougher. AND my immortal MFD problems just don't seem to go away! No matter what happens if I get hit, first thing to go is the MFD. The last 10 times I've been hit I actually lost the multifunction displays. Too bad I started taking screen shots but I deleted the directory. But this time again a sam hit me on the right side. Blew out my tires and of course the ONLY other damage ... CICU as per usual.. :) I just have bad luck? Argh thats nother thing I took screenshots and the screenshot dir is empty. Did you guys move where the screenshots go? I had proof! ;) Its a conspiracy I tells ya! I bet the print screen button was remapped. I wouldn't doubt it. But the avionics and everything seem to be working perfectly, which is what this game is about. I still have quite a bit of work learning more but from the basic newb pilot who has enough knowledge to get around take out the targets and navigate home.. (and land safely) .. I have to give this product a 9/10 now that. Where the beta was a 7.5. Even the dreaded first campaign mission was performing pretty well (with the clouds) even though frame rates at times did drop, there was no really really long pauses like it used to have. It is very playable. Very well done. __________________ --- May your takeoffs equal your landings!

Lonecrow66 Posted February 22, 2011 Author Posted February 22, 2011 Thanks :) Heres your proof! I'm like the unluckiest guy out there. Almost every time its just one piece of damage and yep.. its the cicu --- May your takeoffs equal your landings!
Lonecrow66 Posted February 22, 2011 Author Posted February 22, 2011 Oh and here is a screen of the clipping problem.. I didn't catch it in the screen shots but the circles show where it "flashes" in and out of the space time continuum. --- May your takeoffs equal your landings!
