Our team have also been working on existing sounds,. Where improvements have been identified, work is in progress on improving the sound and quality of a large number of these components.

Looks good Pattle. Not sure if you have watched Jaydogs video from Sunday yet, but a lot of the guys were reporting some glitches with square cloud formations and gun sights popping in and out...

I suspect it is because I set the cloud formations medium/heavy, because when we removed them for the second mission, those glitches disappeared.

Not sure what work you are doing on cloud rendering, but it might be worth looking into if not already on the list.

Hi BlackDog,


Thanks for the heads up. Will check out Jay's video.

Re clouds - Work being done - oh you bet

Cheers,

Pattle

Good to see progress being made. Do you know if the autopilot feature for the bombers is being worked on. It infuriates me that when you initiate it, it dives. Makes life harder than it has to be for level bombing.

Hi Guys,

Passion, will get back to you re autopilot.
