Hello everybody,
Only one week has passed since the huge release, but we're already preparing for the next update. Of course, it won't be as massive - we can't do so much each month - but it will bring a number of important things nevertheless. As we promised, we're working on improving the overall quality of the product.
First of all, we have found a way to improve the situation with the planes disappearing too early against a cloud. This won't fix the pixelization issue (it is a different matter), but we hope the coming update will address the problem when a plane can visually disappear at 2 km or so. We plan to start the work on minimizing the pixelization issue before the end of this year. Another good news is that we have managed to fix a very old problem with excessively long login into the game - if the testing goes well, in the next update you'll see your login times decrease nearly tenfold, from dozens of seconds to single digits, and the dreaded login fail error #2 should be gone as well.
We also have managed to find the cause of the random bug some of you have reported, when some planes suddenly lose their rudders in the flight. It turns out this issue...

EXCERPT FROM OPORDER COM BATTLEGROUP SOUTH
l) Situation:
a) Enemy Forces:
Over the past months, a rising number of armed clashes between the irregular forces and X-FOR as well as attacks on and displacement of the civilian population have occurred in our AOR. The humanitarian situation is still disastrous; 30% of the people are suffering from undernourishment, child mortality is very high, there is no or only poor access to clean drinking water, and avoidable diseases are fatal due to absolutely inadequate health care. - i
A nationwide revival of Islam can be observed. Mullahs exploit the disappointment of the population at the absence of reconstruction measures and are agitating against X-FOR troops. Attacks on police stations in the province of TASGRAD indicate that the influence of irregular fighting forces is rising in the country.
Attacks on X-FOR are increasing, for example one patrol barely escaped an assault after a mine trap had been laid out on LOC...
What's your gaming pleasure this weekend? 15/11/19
Work/real life stuff ongoing...No RC flying.
Military flight sim in P3DV4
Vietnam/SE-Asia missions. Yep, thats right and they fight back
I use: FSX@War, CCP, FSCAI, VACMI (SSW)
There is a new release of FSCAI which makes the enemy ai come alive! here . FSCAI is coming on very nicely. I will use it with the trusty FSX@War
Military simulation is VERY doable in P3D. I enjoy having the entire world to fly in as well as real weather. I can fly a mission in Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, Vietnam. In fact almost anywhere.
Maybe some Normandy + Vietnam
Planes I will use:
- Milviz F100D
- Resterauvia Mirage IIIC

Civillian:
Majestic Dash 8 Q400.
I have a few games I want to play but will update the post....
If I get time maybe:
- Tank simulation
That's what I am trying to play.
