These were not documented because they were already in the sim. The first has been there since Forgotten Battles, or even the original release of the game. It's been so long I can't remember. The second has been in the sim since v4.09 or earlier, whichever patch introduced new water effects.

Just a quick note of thanks to the Daidalos Team for their hard work. It is greatly appreciated.

Sorry, I ramble. That book is "Fire in the Sky: Air War over the South Pacific". Awesome read, the author slips my mind, but he wrote another book in the same vein covering the ground war in the South Pacific. I love both, great stuff!!!

Eric Bergerud. Excellent American Historian. Oddly enough, some of the best stuff written about the role of the RAAF and RNZAF as well as the Australian Army in the Pacific has been written by Americans.

Positive comments about 4.11? I'm positive the AI is fake, and team TD is secretly flying it themselves.

I've just set up a nice little one-on-one in the QMB between me in a P-39, and a 109 E - starting at 3000m on the Slovakia map. Got myself nicely trimmed into a cruise, rads open (I'm paranoid about overheating since the patch) when the 109 appeared. So what did Emil do? Bimbled past, as if he hadn't seen me... Didn't want to fight, eh? I gave chase, trying to sneak up on him from his low six. He know I was there though, and proceeded to start a vertical/horizontal turning fight, which I was winning until I went into an inverted spin. Heaving back on the stick fixed that - I was now spinning upright instead. Some frantic stick-stirring somehow got me out of it - at about 1000m, over tree-covered foothills. Emil, who'd presumably been watching and waiting, took advantage of my plight, and zoom 'n boomed a few times, before we got back into a turning fight. low over the trees, I nailed him eventually, but only after running out of cannon ammo, and almost colliding with the treetops. If Emil had been an online pilot, I'd have given him a salute - so instead, I salute TD, and in particular, whoever is responsible for adding the extra 'I' to the AI.

P.S. 'average' AI - I'll have to try the same thing against the ace setting - I've a feeling that Emil will be reporting back on the result.

Thanks to everybody who shared they positive experiences, as far as AI is concerned there will be more changes in future patches.

As a FMB'r the best v4.11 tweak for me has been the

defFullDX 60.0
defFullDY 100.0

and the

File>Recent missions>

Oh and the

Scroll mouse wheel zoom.



CoD has some good uses

I think they change the size of File Save/Load dialog box in FMB.
They might be in bldconf.ini.

Ok, thanks
