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? It seems my takeoffs are always a tug of war between gravity and myself, as I try to get the plane up before the wheels disintegrate and the plane noses over. 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?

The take off is smooth because its the A.I in control.

Standard developers kit I think, a program that will allow basic access to make things for games without giving the game code away.

Hi again, luthier. Present you US this Friday the Beta ??? ...mmm...mmmh...mmmhh, did you .That´S like Christmas

Once again......thank you and your TEAM for the HARD work.

Hopefully the new feature will be an uber AI with capabilities that are in the domain of realism but with intelligence. For me this is the hot topic right now.

Incorrect abbreviation but correct meaning. SDK is Software Development Kit. Essentially its a set of software libraries that can be used programmatically to access functions within the game code. To be really useful to developers you need good documentation also - so hopefully it will be provided to a better standard than the user manuals.
