S!

Also note that the Bf109E propellor does NOT spin now BEFORE the inertia starter is engaged. This is correct Before it spun when you pressed I and it was revving up. Will see what the update brings to the table when released..

So I read it that Luthier promised us the beta this friday!!!

Man, new page popping ain't as much fun as it was in the Ubi forums.

Also take note about the number of different engine sounds, or lack thereof.

Side note: Can anyone else take off as smoothly as they did in the video?

I've never had a takeoff in the 109 on CoD that just smoothly lifted from the tarmac like the video....

same to me!if the plane reaches 200km/h the nose will tilt over.but i dont use the flaps for takeoff.maybe thats the difference?
or they changed the physics as they claimed in the last update i think.

I notice that he has about 10 degrees of flap on. I use that amount also with fine pitch and a little nose up trim and it will take of smoothly. I keep nudging the trim wheel near takeoff speed and it will nose up very smoothly. Then comes the fun for cleaning up for flight.

Great stuff. Love the sounds and the improved colours. It's looking much more natural than before.

Nice to see a thread full of praise too after 20 pages.

My guess for cool new feature - DX11!!! or new clouds. (Don't think the dynamic campaign will be ready yet.)

here’s a short video showcasing the new WIP sound. It’s recorded on a deprecated version of the patch, after which we’ve toned down the ocean colors and filled in the sounds. The biggest omission is the turbine whine of the Daimler-Benz. Don’t worry, you’ll hear it in the actual patch.

Nice vid! What is SDK?
