QUESTION: Patch 4.10 state

[sermen]

Dear DT we are waiting for so long so could you be so kind and give us beta version of 4.10 (officially because you need some help in testing of course )?

So if something is done according to the standards (poly limits, texture limits, etc.) then of course it's accepted.

Like FC said, one of the things that we are currently doing is localization. This is quite huge work since there are so many things to be translated. Caspar had quite a shock when he realized how much he needs to translate to German. And this didn't even include the readme.

We could use external help for the readme translation. Specially for the technical stuff like RDF.

Good,at a moment (not now) I thought TD wasn´t getting anything from 3rd party.
BTW,if the plane is not in Oleg standards,you don´t use the model at all or is there a chance to re-work on it?

Didn't we have this conversation a few weeks back? TD does accept 3rd party work... they did in 4.09 if I remember correctly. It just has to be to spec. Lots of MODs are really not to spec... not to say that they didn't go to great effort.

S!

Some mod/user made planes and cockpits are over the limit for IL-2 specs and would thus cause issues on low end machines(who STILL has one?!). Tempest and Gladiator are prime examples of 3rd party, being damn good. Would they be any less better if made now by community? Anyways, waiting for the 4.10 very much. Until then whacking ppl in EVE

FC,

Just curious, but what's the "big" problem? Is it a real show stopper?

Could you perhaps say something already of improved AI and some other features that have not yet been added to the list of features? I'm especially interested to learn how the new AI planes will cope with the G-limits and new visibility model. Besides, there's an interesting "no overheat AI mod" that could/should be added perhaps

Rgs,

I'd wager a bet that MDS causes problems, as seen on some online servers.
Like shadow planes, bomb timer set to zero even if set correctly and other minor, but annoying, stuff.

Robtek,

I hope it's MDS related, 'cause the other stuff (Lutz also works on this, see e.g. http://hist-simu.2jg51.org/hs/phpBB2...er=asc&start=0) looks to be a real, frightning challenge and absolute coders' nightmare to me

I'm personally very interested to see how TD/DT have added these features to 4.10 since I play offline for most of the time.

Good news. Thanks for all your hard work.

If do you want we can hire professional translators for you.

I expect 4.10 as a final kick in MODS servers. MODs servers each one with is own interpretation of reality. Axis firepower in one of them is a mess, now we have to turn and burn spitfires cause or B&Z tactcis was nullified by porked lluftaffe weapons. While this .50 are kicking ass! However i continue playing cause if i not play there i ll not play in any other full real server.

Mods sucks. TD, please, i beg of you, release it. Please, please, please...

I don't think you can force people to play the version of the game you like, let people choose for themselves. If i don't like mod servers i simply don't fly on mod servers, but i don't try to stop them from existing
