Development Update - Tuesday August 30th 2011

[Skoshi Tiger]

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!

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

Did you recognize the different 109-canopy in the Luthier video?

Did you see any prop pitch lever in the new video??

I am nearly sure that we can expect another BF109E version!!

Happy landings
