Relax guys (and girls) the tension from waiting for this patch seems to making everyone a bit tetchy, I meant no offence to you Doktor and I know you didnt mean any to me, both our views are legitimate after all arnt they!

I first joined this forum about a month ago now and even then there were rumours about a patch coming out in a week, in fact at that point it had just gone into QA for the first time! YES I thought, a week at most! A month later, its gone into QA again, and YES! A week at most? Doubt it. But if it does come out in a week, I will go out and drink myself silly in the student union to celebrate.

The only thing that really bugs me is how sometimes I expload at spawn instantly for no reason, and recently if I crash and no-one is near me or has hit me someone gets a kill (?).

Oh and IiI Gunny IiI, the game DOES work, its not like it wont load or anything. The old Sinclair ZX Spectrum hardly worked and people still loved what it could do, cant you do the same?

well
 
The lawn mower would not have to be completely dead for me to take it back.
If the sputtered ,stalled,and ran "LIKE IT WAS NOT TESTED ENOUGH "Then I would still take it back.AND if they said it would be fixed in a week and I was still waiting after a month Ya I would get my money back!!!!

Totally, and no worries. Mainly I want the kills/crash thing, wheel brakes and fuel load modeling to get fixed. Those three things will improve the game A LOT.

yes this and G-locks/red-outs along with proper stick layout/mapping will take this game to a whole new level

god i cant wait, but aint holding my breath; guessin it'll take a few more of those iterations b4 it is released, so we may b still waiting for a few months here.

But this tiny bit of info really feels like a breath of fresh air. Seriously thought we were being left behind on this one.

Pandora's Box..
 
I'm not so sure about the whole crash glitch/ no kill thing fix... You guys do realize that if we get it, then we're all gonna start complaining about how the other guy didn't deserve that kill because I crashed doing a stupid loop at 500 ft while looking behind me... Seriously, distraction kills me more often than their bullets that have slightly damaged me have.

I myself, pride myself on my ability to jink guys on my tail and evade certain death.. but what's gonna be the point if no matter what I do, I'll eventually crash and they got a kill for scoring one cannon round.

With the fix, people are gonna start crashing right away so they can go ahead and get a new plane and not even try to keep their plane up, I mean cause no matter what you do, even if you call in a wingman to take care of the guy that shot you, he'll still get a kill even after he's dead and moved on to his next fresh plane.

Bottom line is I think we need to sit down and decide on what a kill really is... cause in real life, as long as you got two wings, an engine, and your life, you have a good chance of making it back home alive.

You can still "out live" the kill:

Off Devs forum:

Common for all platforms:

Controls remapping (custom layout).
Changed MP kills scoring system. Suicide will always reduce score; crash (or bailout) soon (one minute) after signifficant damage will score to shooter; crash (or bailout) after 12 seconds after being hit even lightly will score to shooter.
Brakes with flightstick fix.
(For Arcade& realistic) RS will look around with 'half pressed' target camera trigger.
More effective flak.
Blackouts and redouts on realistic/simulation back again.

My understanding of the fix is that there will be a time limit on getting credit for a kill after landing rounds on target. I forget what it is but its somewhat sensible 10 secs, 15secs something like that. Also there are neg points for suicide. Does that satisfy? I hope they get it right.

Atleast this is some new info, I was very glad to atleast hear some news.

@ TRC Subaru, I don't know how I didn't see your thread here, or I wouldn't have made yet another thread on the news. If the modderator wishes to remove my second thread then please do.

So... before 12 seconds of being lightly hit you can crash without them getting the score, but you lose only one point?

What about after one minute... the wording of that seems a bit off, so you have got 12 seconds to not crash after you have been hit lightly and one minute not to crash after being hit severely to not give them the kill?

Is that right?
