4.101 RC - List of fixes

[csThor]

No, it's a system I devised for 4.10. I wanted to give players without the in-depth historical knowledge (in this case I'm one of them) at least a bit of hint what types these units flew in WW2. I wanted to use the term "Strike" but that proved to be too long for the drop-down list.

It's not meant to demonstrate what kind of operations these units flew since that goes far beyond the scope of such a system. I could easily remove all (F), (FB), (TB), (B) and (T) from the list but then a not-so-informed player doesn't know what this or that unit did in WW2. Most thoughtless of the RAF and its sister air forces not to include some kind of hint as to what a squadron did. Couldn't they have taken a hint and done it like the Luftwaffe or the VVS?

EDIT: I left out the night-bomber units on purpose since there are no aircraft for them in the game so far. I had to draw a line WRT workload somewhere. Sorry.

I used MAT Manager to sort out the squadron badges I didn't want - in the old days, however it's been a long time neglected and doesn't work for all.

Could you not make the RAF regiment TGAs plain transparent? I like the badges in the briefing but would sacrifice them to not have them present on the a/c.

Personally, even with my knowledge of the more famous RAF squads I find this feature really helpful Thor; thanks!

A little note for correction - my 601 squadron in game still has the 602 lettering - 'LO' - and badge bug from old. The codes should be 'UF'.

Yep, I/ZG76 emblem was on my 110 for years. Now it's not anymore.

Weird. That's because the old I./ZG 76 didn't have an emblem defined to show in aircraft. Are you perhaps talking about 1./ZG 76? That emblem is still there.

[Oktoberfest]

Pretty sure it was I/ZG76. Flew for over 4 years with it. Emblem was a white Lion on a yellowish shield. Easy to verify, the identification letters always were : M8 + OK (number fifteen) on my aircraft, selected by : I/ZG76, squadron 2. O letter is in red. I still have those letters on the aircraft. But no more emblem. Which is fine, now I will be able to put a bigger noseart

Why is there a 1/ZG76 anyway ?

I have read the updatelist and was asking my self if there will be a 3D update for the He-111. Compared to your new Ju-88 it is an realy old model.

For the bomber pilots among us a manual Bombbay control key would be great.

Thank you in advance

best regards
