Wags all ready posted it.

[Ranger79]

I wonder if multiplayer wingman messaging will be addressed in this or next patch?

[RodBorza]

Wow, it's preliminary, but seems an entirely new game.

Again, ED has showed great customer support.

Thanks Wags and team!

[Frostiken]

Yes, but here we can go "Horray for surround sound!"

[Snoopy]

I wonder if multiplayer wingman messaging will be addressed in this or next patch?

 

Please explain?

[genbrien]

Emergency hand brake implemented.

 

will this be our ''chocks'' ???

How does it works on the hydrolyc system?

[Kuky]

some great graphical additions and improvements... and surround sound now also fully functional... what a treat 1.1.0.8 will be!

 

ED... you guys kick ass... seriously...

[Merlin216]

I was excited to see just the T Handles working again. Looks like a good patch though.

[imac12]

Impressive. Looking forward to being able to try some of this out.

 

No mention of TGP FLIR fidelity improvements?

[Ranger79]

Please explain?

Ability to sending a data message to wingman, don't get me wrong, not complaining, just asking, this is going to be an epic patch.

Epic patch indeed! hand Brakes? Dynamic Shadows? Wow, just wow. The attention to detail is what sets ED apart from other developers. :thumbup:

[LankNZ]

I am so impressed to learn that ED actually listen and interact with their customers to the point that we get what we want. I've played many games of many genres and never seen support like this. I've only been playing Warthog for a couple weeks but already I've converted four mates onto it, and keep trying to get others to buy it too.

Great work ED. Patch looks like a great addition to an already brilliant sim

It's the support from people like you that keeps ED going. :)

And yeah, the guys do read the forum and they do take user feedback seriously. There will always be cases where business reality can put a stop to a good feature of course, but user feedback on this forum is an obvious market research tool. So keep making your voice heard and never be shy about letting the guys know when you like what they did. :)

[S77th-konkussion]

Very nice.

[Rider1]

"Reduced probabilities for cockpit random failures. Random failure for gun and CICU was added"

 

Seriously? I was hoping we were moving away from these unexplained random failures.. not adding to the possibility of more things breaking for no reason.

 

Other than that, :) this patch looks to be stellar. :thumbup:

[goldfinger35]

Nice. Great job!

Looking forward to this one:

• Wingmen Engagement logic improved when threats are in target area.

[Mirtma]

:thumbup:

[Kankkis]

Hmm, looks like patch is out soon.

[STP Dragon]

Why I can't find:

 

- Multiplayer Radio Communication Issues with Tower fixed

- Custom Radioitems for Multiplayer fixed

- Datalink from JTAC for Multiplayer fixed

- Air-to-Air TACAN for Clients fixed

 

:wallbash:

[amalahama]

I was looking forward to some improvements in this field as well. I cannot say the patch disappointed me for this reason, a lot of new features have been added, I might wait for the next one though.

 

Any performance improvements? Stuttering makes me put aside this thing unfortunately.

 

Regards!

The list IS subject to change though. You might see them there. If not.. there's always the next patch :smilewink:

[delta9856]

Cant wait for the dynamic shadows! Great job as usual ED :)

[STP Dragon]

Hope dies last.... :(

The list very well might be subject to change, but that doesn't necessarily mean by adding things. They can always remove stuff from the list.

 

Would be good to know if the issues =STP= Dragon mentions have been addressed.
