Awesome, I can't wait to get home.

I don't see anything about stutters, so I hope to hear from people who had them wether it has been fixed or not soon, but for me, this is great to see!

Now the waiting game for 1.009 begins, but hey we have the most awesome planes to fly to fill that gap

Very good!

Nice to see the Mission Editor manual in there as well.

Summer textures and a lot of AI fixes - all good.

Looking forward to it.

Cheers,

AI sniper is gone and I am sure a lot of people will be very happy with it.

The new textures are very nice and are a pleasure to look at.

AI not fleeing from a close fight is also great for those that want to get in there and fight without having to chase after it for some time (it allows to get a knife fight happening).

It's out, it's out yaaaay *frolicking*

I can't wait to get home and try it. The money for my Camel is ready on my PayPal.

Whatever you have or haven't fixed, I'm sure the game is a lot better than the previous patch, and you worked your @sses off, and I truly appreciate it!

Woohoo!



At work at the moment, so I can't test the update yet.

Also don't see the Camel and Dr. I in the store yet.

Patience, this young Padawan needs to have!


Question about the blip switch:

How is the new blip switch different from simply using engine on/off to "blip" the engine?

A Blip switch will always turn your engine back in case you forget to do so playing around with E button function, plus it's historical correct...

Wow, excellent!

Yeah, that was the major problem with using the engine on/off switch. The engine would just quit when the RPMs dropped significantly.

Man, you guys are awesome.


Also, sorry for being impatient, I just can't wait to get home from work today!
