Friday 2010-11-19 Dev. update and Discussion

[NSU]

Primary and secondary radio navigation frequency,
is this like Knickebein and Wotan (X Verfahren “Funkstrahl”)
you simulate radio beacon (Funkfeuer) too?

[Zorin]

Very convincing update.

I especially like the new water splash/distortion after the impact in that He111 shot.

One thing I did notice though is a grammar mistake.

"I'm going for the leader from the first element."

I do believe that it should actually be: "I'm going for the leader of the first element."

In the last picture of the 3rd part: Is the He 111 gunner wounded or dead?

AN IMPORTANT REQUEST (sorry but the caps are necessary here)

I think it would be EXTREMELY helpful to be able to settle different joystick settings for each aircraft in the game (after all, it's just some lines in the config files)

No, no, no, Lutheir, you had it right the first time .

I actually don't think that an "American" translation is needed for the BoB release. It might be required for a future update to the sim, but even as an American I am going to be "British" when playing BoB....I'll need to develop a taste for fish and chips and boiled meat though... . It really is not difficult to read the British version.

I think the clickable cockpits should allay the fears of those who think they might run out of keyboard buttons. Some of the options shown in this update (radio frequencies and such) will only come up in non-combat situations where a pilot can take some time in setting them. The combat stuff needing instant access can be left on the keyboard.

Dang this is looking good, my wife is going to be angry...

I should hope so, it took us long enough to compile it from Gaelic, Roman, Saxon, Norman, French, various Scandinavian/Viking and German. Oh, and the original "Uggg". And what do you guys do? Mess it up !

When talking about craters in another recent thread, mr. Maddox himself said that taxing over them does cause damage.

I don't know how this is calculated and how long the craters will persist (eg in a multiplayer scenario, or if damage carries over even in the single player campaign), but the fact that they can ruin your day has been pretty much confirmed. According to mr Maddox, that same pic of the damaged hurricane with the collapsed main gear that you posted was due to taxing over a crater.
