first review
 

Flew a few missions online, my natural environment, and the planes are very stable now, they do not jump when lining up a shot with micro movements of the sticks.

Roads seem to be stitched differently, you can see the individual pieces.

Pribaltika, which was always a dark map, (no sun) is now proper for 12:00.

Looks like the bullets striking the ground has been upgraded, you can see the power of the missed shells. Subtle, but instantly noticeable.

Raised some AAA guns, are you guys going to add that function to objects, I would like to raise some sand bags to put around the raised guns. Also. it seems like if a gun is on a hill, when you move it, it stays at that level, you need to drop it if where you are putting it is lower.

And when you Insert a object, cloning the one you have selected, it stays on the original, the new one has to be clicked on to rotate, raise, or move.

and we seem to have lost the 7 and 9 keys (the smallest increments of movement) for rotating objects, neither of them will work on my machine.

It's hard to say if it's better, but it sure seems that way.

Cheers.

7 and 9 keys have to be reset in the fmb configure section, same with insert etc.

USN Aircraft Speed indicators now in MPH instead of KNOTS
 

The speed indicators for the below listed planes got changed in this patch to indicate MPH instead of KNOTS. This is incorrect for USN/USMC aircraft. The speed indicator should be in KNOTS. You can verify this by comparing it to the speed bar.

F4F-3
F4F-4
FM-2
Corsair I (F4U-1)
Corsair II
Corsair IV
F4U-1A
F4U-1C
F4U-1D

As I said in the release thread, this is indeed a mistake that should have been corrected in this patch. I assumed it was fixed in beta4, but I must admit that I didn't test it afterwards, sorry. Anyway, it has been reported and it will, I hope, be corrected in the hotfix.

I was just making sure it got reported in the proper thread since I didn't initially see one for feedback and bug reports:

414 Feedback Observations/Bug reports

I also corrected my post in the 4.14m release that the F6F-3 Late and F6F-5 speed indicators were in fact indicating correctly in KNOTS.

Here is a screnshot from the FM2 manual

I am not able to join neither of working 4.14 servers from this list:
http://il2.com.ru/en/links.php?sort=version

When I try to connect directly from the game menu, I get "Connection is successful!" first and then the error message "The communication with the remote host is lost. Reason: Timeout 0".
I have joined all those servers in 4.13 earlier without any issue.

I153 was kind enough to suggest the "cheating" from my side. So nice.

But I have installed 4.14 on the copy of "vanilla" 4.13.4 which had never any mods or additional programs installed. Ever. The only changes were done in conf.ini (graphics and network) and in Samples folder (new voices added). And new skins, of course.
Even more, I have no idea about any "cheating" add ons and never was interested in them.

So, how to overcome this connection issue?
Any advise is appreciated. Thanks beforehand.

does it get as far a CRT:2 message, I noticed that when I joined, never saw that before.

I had no problem with the AleXserver, the two other servers that have updated to 4.14 have never let me join so I don't bother.

@dimlee,
Have you try with il2fb.exe 512 MB?

I don't seem to be able to load a map in FMB, zoom in and press Enter, then hold down the RMB and move the mouse pointer along the ground anymore. :confused:
