Great update. As my faith failed Lutheir revived it.
Great job on the sound from the video. Am I to assume all planes will have sound? I refer to the black death track were the 110's are silent

Thanks for the update - looking forward to testing. Is it my imagination or are the water reflections improved?

good news Luthier...

whats up with the game optimisations?

Just wondering...

will the new sound engine introduce the 'drumming' or 'beat' from interference patterns in the sound from unsynchronised propellers in multiengine aircraft? (Hey! even two similar planes flying in close formation at similar revs should even introduce the phenomena!)

I've never actually observed it any other sim I've flown but it'd be a useful feedback to get those engines working together.

Oh! By the way, great update!

Thanks!

Any speculation as to what this is?

Regarding to the "new major feature" and the "In order to keep the competitors squirming" statements, it has to effect everybody no mather what side or plane he/she plays, and competitors (I think RoF and DCS) shouldn't have it so far.

Guess #1 Dynamic weather system - obviously lacking in any combat sim

Guess #2 Improved dynamic lighting system - Landing lights, navigation lights, ambient city/town lights, light pollution, improved vehicle lights, etc.

Guess #3 Ground operations - you can start from outside the plane, the ground crew will take care of you plane, like rearming and refueling (all animated), you can get in static planes, etc

That would be awesome Skoshi.
