Nice screenies.
Thanks for the update.

It's really vodka isn't it? Such a waste! I hope you're going to wring out those rags!

Good Morning B6!

Just an easy Question: Is in the upcomming Patch SLI and Quad SLI still working as "Performance Break"?

For Explanation: I am Using 3 Systems. The Big one is i7 - 6 Core @ 6x4GHZ, 12 GB Tripple Channel DDR3 RAM, and 2x GF 590 GTX with together 6 GB Video DDR 5 RAM.

The second Main System is i7 - 4x3,5 GB, 16 GB DDR3 RAM Quad Channel with a GF 580 AMP Version GTX with 3GB DDR 5 RAM.

The effect is, the System Nr. 1 is with 90 AC in Combat at 25-35 FPS on High End Settings.

The much smaller System, Nr. 2 is with exact same Settings and same Mission at 50-120 FPS!

Oleg wrote me at beginning of CloD, before he was gone, that this belongs to the not implemented SLI and Quad SLI support.

Is this crazy feature still in? Or did you solve the Problem?

Cheers

Thanks B6 for the update

I like the autum environment, great pix. Now lets have those nasty bugs ironed out!!!

Great weekend

First of all, thanks for the update.

Second, i have a question.

Is the team aware of the issues with bombsights? I had started a thread some time ago to collect all data with bugs and suggestions for bomber aircraft. The reason is that being able to fly bombers and hit targets, we can have missions to fly (both offline and online) that are much closer to battle of Britain.

This will make everybody happy, the bomber pilots who can finally hit targets and the fighter pilots who will have bombers to protect and intercept. With the advances being made in mission design (for example Wolf's channel command mission on the ATAG server and the campaign on the ACG server that both use C# scripts) as well as the new C# methods you gave us for setting area targets in the missions, i think it is the time to say that we really need the bombers fixed.

There were a lot of issues with higher priority and there are still many others, but at this time a few small fixes in the twin engined aircraft will help a lot with playability while you guys work on the rest.

bugged bombers that cannot aim their bombs = players don't fly bombers = no battle of Britain

There are various bugs and suggestions about bombers, but the most important one right now is to fix the bombsights. If we can hit targets we can wait to get the rest of them corrected.

The Blenheim sight is fine, but the Lofte sight on the Ju88 and He111 either needs debugging or someone to explain to us how to use it, because whatever we try either the bombs miss, or the sight doesn't track correctly when automation is engaged. I don't know about the Br.20 because i haven't tested it a lot.

Here is the link to that thread with all the bomber bugs and suggestions:
http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=32592

Blacksix, if you could please show it to Luthier and tell us what he thinks about it, we would really appreciate it. Fixing the Lofte is probably just a few arithmetic changes in the code (maybe just like the Hurricane 100 oct start-up fix that you did) and since we have an extra week, maybe we'll get lucky and get it debugged before the next patch. Then we will be flying some group sorties on ATAG and make some nice videos to show you all how to carpet bomb

But please, show the twin-engined birds some love just like you did with the Blenheim a few patches ago (it was almost unflyable, now it works well for the most part). I know fighters are more popular, but if there are no bombers the fighters don't have too much to shoot. Thanks

Pretty much the same as an E4 I would think

Only when there are no 109s.
