VR News

Our VR Team are working hard on making a brilliant VR experience on release. We are really happy with progress to date.

We recently also shared some photos of the reworked Spitfire cockpit, with new 3D components, which will give VR users a better visual experience when the big VR update arrives.

Here is the WIP (images 1 and 2)of the right side of the Spitfire cockpit. With many of the existing aircraft already having 3D cockpits, much of this work towards VR implementation is complete.

Aircraft Code Improvements

All RAF and Luftwaffe aircraft codes have been corrected, revised and improved. Whilst many players may not have noticed inaccuracies, we had, and these will be fixed in a soon to be released update.

Audio Update

We recently released a WIP video of the improvements to the Spitfire in cockpit engine sounds. Our sound engineer is currently working on a number of areas in the game to bring to the community an improved audio experience. Keep a look out for more updates in this area, as we will include updates as they are completed.

Single Player News

A new single player RAF Spitfire 10 mission campaign, is currently in development. This will be released as a free update for all owners of Cliffs of Dover Blitz once it’s complete.

The campaign will follow No. 610 SQN as it faces the first week of the Luftwaffe offensive against Kent, with most missions based on actual dogfights and raids.

Check out the action in our latest video release, promoting this exciting new campaign https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZbXNULi9ZY


trueSKY and 4K Graphics Update

Work is coming along very nicely on the future implementation of trueSKY, 4K landscapes, and 4k aircraft externals. We will be releasing WIP images very soon.

We hope everyone is staying safe in these times, and look forward to seeing you in the Cliffs of Dover Blitz and Desert Wings Tobruk Skies,

 

Regards,
