View Full Version : Team Fusion update - February 2014 - Ditching the collar and tie

Today's update shows a long term bug finally destroyed by Team Fusion!

Many months were spent looking at one of the really irritating issues that for some reason defied detection.

The issue of the Ai Pilots and crews deciding to wear their dress uniform into combat! Fortunately one of the newer members of Team Fusion had been 'tinkering' with this effect and shared it with the rest of the team for testing.

One issue that came to light was that Pilots wearing Irvin Flying jacket would often 'clip' through the side of the Spitfire, so part of the jacket was visible on the outside of the aircraft fuselage.

Queue more work and now the Pilots fit inside the aircraft perfectly and wear authentic flying/combat uniforms (well at-least in comparison to dress uniform!).

Work on other features is still continuing, although work on any new additions for TF v4.2 has now stopped and Beta testing, especially on FM/DM is intensively underway.

News will follow once we have a date we expect to release v4.2.

Cheers, MP/TF

Much, much better. But the British pilots still look rather rotund and have an odd shaped head when wearing a helmet and viewed from the side. Still a big step forward. This game must go down in history as having some of the oddest quirks.

Good fellows of TF!
It is one more new side of our general brilliant.
Question: whether there will be helmets on the Italian pilots?

But didn't the real life RAF Spitfire pilots have big heads? :recon:

J/K!!!! :)

I agree a big step forward. :thumbsup: When I watch the many videos I find the AI pilots look distractingly like bus drivers, not combat pilots!

Yes Italian Pilots are fully kitted out too...sadly they were getting changed into their new uniforms while the video was being shot ;)

The unsuitable suits haven`t been a big issue for me, to be honest. But fixing such "irrelevant" things shows a dedication that I really like and that I am thankful for!

Bravo!

Lets not wander into phrenology here :D

We never name which individual made a certain mod/fix, but I would like to share the fact that this was made by one of our newest members. I think we can all agree he's made a great start :clap:

AI aircraft actually having to deal with engine temperature? I noticed the radiators were open in the new uniforms shots.

And I just got home today from spending most of the day with someone special. :)

Everything on Maximum except buildings are set to the one below unlimited.

The clouds look different in the first few seconds. More dense or weather like.... weather......

Yes, @ 1:25, something new on top of the Stuka's engine cowling? A new fin, or a new air intake?

Sorry for my English

If it isn't the clouds how do you get clouds like that! Super dense and low to the ground, even with medium clouds on I don't get awesomeness like that.

I do have everything at max and the extendclouds on... hrmmmmmmm

The cloud altitude makes a difference too in those video shots. I set the alt. to 500 metres :)

Can you just please stop trolling with us and tell us the answer? :-)

(Sarcasm in case you didn't know)

Thanks for helping breathe new life into this wonderful sim engine. I can't wait until I see how far this game has gone after I graduate college (in 5 years approximately). :thumbsup:

The answer has been said, it's pilot head animations. I guess you don't like guessing games much huh?

Ah, okay. Sorry but I just wanted to poke a little fun and all. I do often like guessing games but wanted to be sarcastic. :/ I am terrible with sarcasm. Any word about the different radiator positions in the different versions?

Hope that the pilots will not be made smaller than they already are, which is too small already.

I like the Spitfire incident 32 secs into the show.

I got myself some popcorn and played it over a few times.

I like the building climax to the horrible accident and the

surviving pilot looking to his left and his wingman is gone

it is a very touching moment.

Oh the humanity! :sobbing:


The rest of the movie was ok I guess.lol

S!

Nice update :) Noted a small thing in the video. Look at the Hurricane taxiing from 0:50 onwards just beneath the wings. The landing gear movement is a bit off. The whole strut moves while the rearward facing support stays stationary. Shouldn't the shock absorber give in, not the whole landing gear ;)

Umm, I assume this patch will soon be available and be a separate download just like 3.01 and 4.00?

Or will it auto update as one logs into the server?

We plan to make an auto updater but so far modding has taken all our coder's time :D

I never came back to see if I was right!

Sorry if I came across as a bad sport for not responding to your teasing Keller!

They look great by the way. (The animations)

Super stoked to play 4.3, it's shaping up amazingly. See that Flak video? Daaaay-um!
