BETA PATCH v1.06.17582 + Mini FIX--Bug thread

Someone explained that it had something to do with the server suddenly "not recognizing" the aircraft you had earlier spawned in! LOL. For me it was no big deal (other than a minute or two of time waste). I hit ESC and immediately went about respawning in a new Spitfire. Weird!

BTW, I saw you CTD in your G.50 today off Dover. Your plane was warping sideways and actually splashed in the drink!

Hi Snapper! With the G.50 I didn't have a CTD, unfortunately I stalled in a tight turn trying to turn tables on a pesky Hurricane and landed on the water. I am a beginner on that plane. Did you see me warping?

Cheers!

Basically what happens is, very rarely when you spawn, the game thinks you've just landed, therefore it starts the despawn script, so just about the time you get in the air and headed out it destroys your plane

I've had it happen to me a few times now and it took a bit to figure out what it was. But you'll always get a chat message saying "Insuber is safe on the ground/landed/returned to base" after you've spawned if it's going to happen.

I've kinda made it a habit to check the messages when I spawn to make sure it doesn't happen

Oh good to know, thank you Bliss!

Ah, must've been the stall I saw -- it was only for a split second that I saw you before splashing in -- and mistook it for CTD/warping.

Confirmed planes disappearing at medium ranges.
I thought it was my imagination but I found it real hard to track planes from distant to close. Tonight I watched a plane completely disappear at about 3-4km and reappear at 1.5-2km. I had him backgrounded against the sky and approached at an angle so it didn't have anything to do with AA. Edit: It was a Spitfire that disappeared...looks like this may be a spit only feature.

Also, What is with the 109 flat spin. Almost impossible to recover now.

Still can't get original textures on my 109. I hate looking at these wings that look like they were painted by Cezanne.

i noticed the same thing happening as well, if your plane gets damaged, or if you are going to bail out.then the pit will suddenly go into a really low textures image...

Nope afraid your wrong, I have had this as well and bliss is correct I had flown quite far and it suddenly did what you have mentioned but I did see it come up saying I had just landed, only experienced it once but you can fly quite far before the server despawns your aircraft.

only since today, the server list is showing again

ok i didnt notice that message, but i only wanted to state, that it doesnt necessarily have to happen directly after take off....for me it was 10 to 15minutes after that.
did you guys notice this before the beta patch as well?for me it happened only once, and it was the day of the beta release.
