Yes, the 'Despawn AI AC after they land and park' setting is unchecked in the FMB.

Aviar, Yes that's the one I was talking about, thanks for posting the image for the others as sadly I will not near my sim's rig until at least this evening (AU-time).

Can't load dogfight mission, built in 4.12... Other (old, made in 4.11.1) missions are OK, but new mission is not. Loading percents did not start increasing..
May be some problems with dedicated server?

Mission for dogfight server in attachment

_RAAF_Squad last night ran a few missions that were one to two patches old.

In one map there were no beacons placed anywhere on the map and several of the fliers online noticed random morse letters being "transmitted". On the second map two US carriers and a YG beacon, I had no beacon selected and still got morse letters.

Thanks again for the patch guys!!

If you are fighting in the QMB against AI and your engine gets hit and stops suddenly, flick the Autopilot on and your engine instantly restarts, even if it is smoking heavily, then switch off the autopilot and continue flying....

I wonder if this will work online......

More minor bugs

No French markings appear for Hawk 75A-4

Ace AI gunnery seems to have been dumbed down a bit too much. Many times I've seen Ace AI planes miss easy no-deflection shots from 2-300 meters. It seems as if their point of aim is consistently a bit high and to the right of where it should be.

It doesn't seem the fix on the P40 wings has been applied to all versions of the A/C.

Hawk 81a-2, P40B, P40C, Tomahawk IIa and Tomahawk IIb appear OK
P40E, P40E M105 and P40M have the old angle

Or is that normal?

Russian plane Radio Direction Finder mistake.

I send this bug to Oleg too 8 years ago, he corrected it.

Testimony from Chinese version Yak-18 manual.

Historical Yak-18 Radio Direction indicators finger NOT indicate Beacon direction.

定向: Direction measure
定位: Distance measure


Another, I hope Radio Direction can include 2 mode: Direction measure & Distance measure.

We can found in Yak-18, when Radio Direction working in Distance measure mode, it can display how far away from plane to Beacon.

You know it would be great if you resized those pics because they are HUGE ....

The new P40 models were not in 4.12

Those P-40 models were never a problem. They were added with Pacific Fighters. The P-40E and M models were first introduced in Forgotten Battles and were poorly done in terms of accuracy. Those are the ones that are being fixed... But more work needs to be done so they didn't come in 4.12.
