15. VIEW: "Allow spectators" option completed. Now if it's off, then any user is only able to look from his cockpit or friendly camera operator.
16. PLANE: Mixture and Radiator controlling keys are smoothed.
17. PLANE AI: Planes AI settings are now specified not in code but in config files, so now tuning them is easier for modders.
18. GUI: New design of the Main Menu added.
19. GUI: Mission Options dialog redesigned.
20. GUI: Mission Options presets added.
21. GUI: Logoff function on Main Screen.

9. PLANE: In case of "start in air", key-controlled Mixture and Radiator no longer drops down on first touch.

15. VEHICLES: Ground units should no longer fire in place where deactivated object was located.
16. VEHICLES: Game crashing when ship receives a waypoint which is located beyond the complex and long river system fixed. Such a complex situation is still not supported by ship's pathfinder, but CTD is fixed.
17. CAREER: Career should now be correctly finishing if squadron plane time of service is over in 1917.
18. STATISTICS: Aerostats should be correctly counted in the post-mission statistics now.
19. STATISTICS: Client's wounding, which was caused by collision, now is shown in post-mission statistics.
20. STATISTICS: Autopilot now not blocking profile statistics.
21. STATISTICS: Plane kill event now happens in the start of plane engine fire. So kill-stealing in this case is now restricted.
22. DSERVER: System logs added.
23. DSERVER: Added missions rotation limit parameter (ShutdownLoads=…), it is temporary solution against DServer crashing after 16..19 like on COCOS server.

Dear devs,
This is a fantastic list of new features and fixes. You must have been worknig very hard these last months, and the result is breathtaking. I can't wait to go home and see it for myself. Thanks for the windsocks, the campaign, the offline mode, and EVERYTHING!

PS: what does this mean?

16. PLANE: Mixture and Radiator controlling keys are smoothed

[hq_Jorri]

Dear neoqb,

Thanks for all your efforts. Looking forward to when it goes live. Cheers!

[AI-Neoqb]

…PS: what does this mean?…

It's mean more precise control for Mixture and Radiator keys if you use a keyboard commands.

[SYN_MrWolf]

Sounds good…to me! Did i miss the new campaign?

[=IRFC=Comet]

Maybe it means we will be able to "fine tune" these controls more.

Thanks to Neoqb and staff and all the beta testers for their hard work and dedication to this game.

It keeps getting better and better and it's nice to see you responding to some player requests.

Thanks!

[gabor4122]

Very nice. Can't wait to try it!

[Endy]

Hi Devs,

Wow, that is one long impressive list, this sim just gets better and better.

Thank you all.

[Pimpin]

As this is my first update: Does it start downloading automatically once it is 'live' on the server?

[Marco_._]

3. GRAPHICS: Planes and Vehicles visibility range increased for views with narrow FOV.

narrow FOV…you mean wide (max zoom out) FOV view?

14. MULTIPLAYER: System chat messages added (Player connected, Player exited, Player banned, Player kicked, Player pilot killed, Player A shot down Player B

this one..yeah..finally….

thank you NeoQB

[Briggstone]

Wow! That is really a long list. I´m looking forward to test the "whole new game." I did not fly for 3 Month.

Salute!

[ZaltysZ]

narrow FOV…you mean wide (max zoom out) FOV view?

Sadly, no. Narrow FOV = zoomed in. The same thing is said in Russian change log.

Ahh as I thought…pitty…nevertheless, changes and new features are great…..

14. MULTIPLAYER: System chat messages added (Player connected, Player exited, Player banned, Player kicked, Player pilot killed, Player A shot down Player B).

Hmmm… it's shame this is going down the arcade as well… Sure, ban, kick, etc. are helpful to see what has happened. But who kills who and who is killed really lowers the realism which is now. No more silent kills or being able to fake escape… I enjoyed the fog of not knowing if I shot down or not… All statistics could be displayed at debriefing screen, which is the correct place for such things

+1! Hopefully it can be turned off…

[hq_Jorri]

It's a trade off. For now, it helps against kill stealing and unconfirmed kills.

[O_catarM]

1. MAIN: Sound-stutters/delays and Sound-related stuttering under Windows 7 was significantly reduced

Very happy with that . I have to say RoF is very well supported game by developers and it's refreshing to see developer to listen to the community Well Done

other way around for me….kill messages we had in IL2 and sure it wasnt unrealistic sim….its more for fun and I dont think such messages are unrealistic in a GAME-sim……

[hq_Neca]

Oooh, finally, thank you very much, great news

[Pimpin]

Agree with Tvrdi,I like the kill messages.

[leitmotiv]

Looking forward to this!

[Blade79]

Great update list! Can't wait to go home and "testdrive".

I'm still missing new recon planes and bombers though - maybe next time.
Anyway thank you a lot Neoqb! спасибо!

West coast time!

[Pimpin]

Updating now!

[OTrish]

Fantastic news!
And to think I'm only going to be able to start the patch download tonight when I finally get home after 3 days travelling… Don't think my Missus is going to approve of me so might have to wait till tomorrow morning

[TX-Thunderbolt]

16. PLANE: Mixture and Radiator controlling keys are smoothed.

This means that when you use your keyboard, the affected function will "slide" instead of move in predetermined increments like it would if it was on a slider or rotary, so, yes, it will allow more precise settings of these controls for keyboard users. If you already had it on a slider/rotary it's unchanged.


26. GUI: MG convergence setting storing added.


Hmmmmm…no comments on this one yet?

[gavagai]

What's the HDR post effect?

[Ogami_musashi]

High Dynamic Range; It is a post effect inreasing the nuances of colors in global illumination.

In game it gives you more contrast to textures.

HDR i a great technics but the actual effects are limited by contrast limitations of your display and it works better in an FPS than in a simulation..nevertheless in ROF it gives really cool contrast; however be sure to modulate it with gamme control if you find it too dark.

[Pimpin]

Yes HDR makes RoF planes very dark for me.Might have to play with monitor settings.QMB is great addition,just shot down 2 DVIIF's in a SE5 A!

[hq_Reflected]

Good show! Keep destroying them

The QMB is simething I was realyl looknig forward. Is it easy to handle? Plenty of options I reckon?

[hq_Conga]

can't wait to try out QMB

[MattM]

Good update, some nice fixes. Would've loved to see atleast one or two flightmodel or damagemodel fixes though. I hope the devs will have time for this in the coming months.

26. GUI: MG convergence setting storing added.
Hmmmmm…no comments on this one yet?

If skins or fuel-load would've saved also, i would've mentioned it already (and it would probably be the best feature in this update for me). But since the convergence is the only thing i never change at all, it's not worth mentioning for me. But it's one step in the right direction.

[Pimpin]

Yes its very easy to use!You can adjust planes,AI level,formation,how you will meet (head on,chase,etc)
I'm impressed!
Those DVII's are very fast though,and will be a handfull online.

[Ogami_musashi]

.

If you want that, provide Neoqb with concrete hard data. This impossible to correct something just by the feeling of some people that, "it is wrong".

[Pimpin]

Nice tweak to the 'wounded' effect!
Skins and weapons loadout is saved in QMB,but not fuel.
