4.10 Impressions

[smink1701]

I have the steam version of 1946 and was thinking about updating the game to 4.10. The current version is running well and I play 100% offline. Have read about some issues and was wondering if I should stay with my current version. What are your general impressions of the update? I know it includes a few more planes but I have about 100 planes already. Are there any big improvements over 4.09?

Thanks

Most of the actual problems are online related as far as I know so you would not be affected. There is an updated QMB which allows for more aircraft and control over the situation.

My next two single player campaign releases (I've been queuing them up for 4.10 release) will use 4.10. There are wind and updated weather controls as well as radio beacons and some other nifty features that will be good for offline play. Maybe wait a bit and read up on what the new features are and see if you want to jump now or in the near future.

I did and while there is a lot of stuff in the update, I wanted to get feedback from those that are using it to get thier impressions from actually playing the game. Ca-peesh? I don't want to add the update and risk messing up a game that is running without any issues if there isnt a big improvement to graphics, FMs, etc.

BTW...what are triggers?

You won't find improvements in graphics, but you ARE able to have a darker sky at night (I'm very pleased with that!). Also the sky colours at higher altitude have been adapted.

I won't go back to 4.09, period. The advantages are huge for me. Real navigation made me drool, especially night landings with zero visibility. I absolutely adore the power/prop on axis for all engines, now I have that sweet phase variance in the engine/prop sound.
The G-limits are simply great!

tried the g-limit myselfe, snapped of a spits wing like a twig without really trying. (High speed off course).

Would be even cooler if it was related to rl g-limits for each specific ac. (wich i dont think it is now)

There are significant improvements in the FMB if you build your own missions.

Don't try thinking at home - it may hurt your brain.
PS Sorry, I couldn't resist. I love, when people are speculating about something, they don't have a slightest idea of.

Because people are not informed enough by TD? No critics though, let people find stuff out for themselves, a part of the flight sim adventure
