Update 1.201


Recommended Posts

Señores, vayan actualizando. ya tenemos x64..

 

Dear players!
Today is a big day for IL-2 Sturmovik project - version 1.201 release. It brings several very important additions.
First, we launch the open beta of the Battle of Moscow campaign and Moscow maps. This is another step forward in mapping technologies - it contains several innovations and will bring you many interesting features not available before, for example: grass airfields without a dedicated landing strip, historically reconstructed city of Moscow, towns of the Moscow region that also have historically correct layouts and architecture, new 'late Autumn' season, water reservoirs, canals, canal locks, many new railway and road bridges, forestation different to Stalingrad region one and other things.
We'd like to point out that now, at the open beta stage, the map will still be improved: pine trees will be added to the forests and the overall distribution of various forest types on the map will be more detailed. Of course we'll keep track of your impressions and improve the map where possible to make it as best as possible to the official Battle of Moscow release date. The campaign is also in open beta: it contains regular, generated missions, while scenario, static ones are being finished. Video intros between campaign chapters and chapter map tactical overlays are also WIP at the moment.
Second, players who pre-purchased Battle of Moscow will also get their hands on German twin engine dive bomber Ju 88 A-4 today. We must admit that it is the most complex aircraft in the entire project, but in the same time it is also a most interesting one in many ways. Rich instruments array, many system and flight model peculiarities, unusual gunner stations - it was an interesting experience to research and recreate and we think it will be interesting to the players to fly it.
Third, all 10 Battle of Moscow planes now have 10 official skins per plane that can be unlocked by progressing in the campaign. In addition, all 20 controllable planes in the game and each and every modification for them now have a technical specification you can view in player profile, during a mission briefing and even in the flight.
Fourth, the sim now has 64-bit architecture. This increases the engine potential and allows more detailed objects and textures to be created. Moreover, we used the dumps you submitted to fix several bugs that could crash the game. All this development should make the game much more stable in heavy, complex missions.
One of the crash fixes involved the track recording system, so the tracks format has been updated unfortunately - old track records won't work in the new version.
Finally, the new version 1.201 contains many additional fixes and improvements (as always) which should increase the quality of your play experience and add more realistic features.
Main changes:
1. Moscow region maps (Autumn and Winter seasons) are now available to Battle of Moscow owners in all game modes;
2. German bomber Ju 88 A-4 is now available to Battle of Moscow owners;
3. Open Beta of the Moscow campaign is now available to Battle of Moscow owners;

6. Aircraft specifications added containing flight characteristics and other useful information for every playable plane in the game (you can view them of full-screen map during flight, in the briefing and in player profile);
7. Modification characteristics added to their tooltips (how much mass and velocity you lose or gain by adding them to your aircraft);
8. Morning and evening fog added to all maps (in half of the weather sets, the ones that have non-even numbers);
Physcis, damage, systems and AI changes:
9. A rare problem that caused the plane to be invisible in multiplayer fixed;

16. Fw 190 A-3 aerodynamic characteristics corrected to meet the now available data (in short, its fineness ratio was reduced a little while its climb rate at high altitudes increased somewhat);
17. RPM limiter (helper) on MiG-3 won't wrongly set the throttle to low values at low air temperature anymore;
18. Bf 109 E-7, He 111 H-6, Пе-2 ser.35 and ser.87 damage models corrected (wrong parts were flying off when damaged);

20. MG FF mass is correctly added to He 111 H-6;
21. Air drag caused by MC.202 bombs corrected (decreased);
22. Air drag caused by Bf 110 E-2 bomb holder corrected (increased);
23. MC.202 series VIII flaps are now forced back by air stream at high speeds, which should prevent their damage;
24. Flaps release kinematic link calculations corrected on Yak-1, both IL-2 variants and MiG-3 (they are more stable when fully retracted);
25. He 111 H-6 elevator trimmer handle now stops at the same time when techno chat shows 100%;

Después de haber probado la actualización unas cuantas horas os pongo mis observaciones:

 

- Rendimiento general mejorado (bastante).

- El ejecutable es nativo 64bit.

- El consumo de memoria en mi equipo ronda los 1.7gb (un 15/20% más de lo que consumía antes aprox).

- La velocidad de carga de pantallas ha mejorado ligeramente.

- La distancia de renderizado y visión es la misma.

- La definición de la textura de los aeródromos en altura da la sensación de ser más alta... aunque puede ser cosa mía más que una realidad.

- Efectivamente, como dice Julian57, SweetFX ha dejado de funcionar. Voy a probarlo a ver si lo coge pero tiene pinta de que aún no.

 

Y ya a título personal decir que:

 

- Uso el FaceTrackNoIr porque no tengo TrackIR y al hacer el update dejó de funcionar.

- Al conseguir configurarlo de nuevo, me he dado cuenta de que ya no funciona como antes que podía lanzarlo en cualquier momento (con el sim arrancado o no) y automáticamente cogía el movimiento de la almendra... ahora tengo que lanzarlo antes de ejecutar el BoS o no funciona.

- Me pasan cosas raras con los botones del joy y la palanca de gases. Están mapeadas correctamente y siempre habían funcionado pero después del update algunos de los botones parecen no funcionar o lo hacen de manera intermitente. Los ejes tanto del joy como los pedales van bien.

- Exceptuando estos problemas que son cosa de mi configuración, todo muy rico.

Realmente las impresiones son muy positivas, este update a sido una ganancia excepcional, en todos los sentidos, algún CTD aun, pero muy esporádico, algún Bug mínimo, y lo que se nota de verdad, es la notable mejora de rendimiento y visibilidad en el mapa de MOSCu.
