Just when you thought you are patched up, you have JGSME, separate installs for offline, ITA-SEOW and Ultrapack and you don’t have to muck around inside your folders for a while now…
…Oleg drops this bombshell - 4.09 official - with new planes! Fantastic news but…??? does that now mean ANOTHER install/JGSME version???
Avia B-534-IV (flyable)
CW-21 (AI only) -> cockpit implementation currently ongoing for future add-on
Fokker D.XXI - 5 versions (Only SARJA 3 Early and Late flyable)
Fiat G.55 Series I (early and late - AI only) -> cockpit already in works for future add-on
I-15bis (AI only) -> cockpit already in works for future add-on
I-16 Type 5 + Ski version (flyable)
I-16 Type 6 + Ski version (flyable)
Letov S-328 (AI only) -> cockpit under consideration for future add-on
Re.2000 (AI only) -> cockpit already in works for future add-on
SM.79 (flyable)
"There are several things we have been considering for v4.09 on top of the content that is listed previously. We have evaluated the impact that some new planned features could have on the game and we decided to play the “safe card” with v4.09 and take more time refining/testing these new features before they are released to public.
To be more specific, as you can see in the videos, we have been able to develop a working airborne radar, improved joystick control interface + dual throttle control, and automatic triggers effecting all AI units in the sim."
Looks like some really good features included and some more as yet un-mentioned updates - 6DOF perhaps??
I find the AI triggers interesting. A group of enemy fighters scrambling to intercept us. And I think it is worth now to be a recon plane pilot. Directing artillery on ground targets.
I want to thank the people who built the new planes up to spec. I tested the Ultrapack yesterday and saw the awfull I-15 Franken-biplane. That one is not coming in any of my missions.
