4.11 Development Update

[Stealth_Eagle]

Watched the video to the half way point and noticed 2 new things. Waypoint options and the rocket fuse time has been increased to a max of 60 seconds or greater. I'll edit this post with other new features I notice and if these have already been stated, sorry for restating them.

If we are on skins, can be this done? Now player aircraft ingnores skin setup from mission file. Player needs to go to aircraft setup screen to select corect one to override default skin. Can be this skin override reversed?
so skin specified in mission for player craft overrides default and user need select different one if he wish just for that one session? How it is now it not makes sense and always irritates me.

Isn't this the same as choosing a custom skin? Or, did you mean that you wanted the option of choosing the same custom skin for all aircraft in a flight or in a QMB mission?

Bring on the TBD!!!!

I wish there was a cockpit for the TBD so it could be flyable.

It served in more actions than just the debacle they had at Midway, and that was not the fault of the aircraft itself, and had a fairly good record otherwise. It is good to remember that when introduced it was, by far, the most advanced torpedo bomber on the planet. It just shared the fate of so many interwar designs, to wit, technology was advancing so rapidly that it was very quickly outdated for it's intended role.

As a flyable it would fill a gigantic gap in the USN plane set.

Same as the Kate, huh?

What are you saying? It doesn't really make too much sense to me.

If you want the default skin then you select Default. If you want the custom skin then you select from any number of customize skins so long as they are on your computer.

In single player the player has control over their skin but the mission builder has control over all other skins. This is to be expected and a reasonable way to deal with the situation. In multiplayer each player has the ability to change theirs to whatever they want... or stick with the default.

TD's adaptation for default skins is to provide a time or theater specific default which is huge because:

1) Static aircraft are not skinnable and therefore rely on the default markings.
1) Some multiplayer servers don't allow skin downloads meaning that the default skin is valuable for overall immersion.

He means that currently a skin selected by the mission creator is being overwritten by the player's choice. If he wants the player to use a specific texture the player has to choose it in the loadout screen. What he asks for is that the mission creators choice is being used and the player has to consciously change skin selection if he does not wish to use the skin chosen by the mission creator.

Hrmm well that's an interesting feature then. It sounded like he was asking for someone that already existed. I suppose if loadouts can be locked then skin choices could be too... but then you have to deal with a situation where that skin isn't available. I suppose it could default back to the default.
