TFS Developer Update - Patch v4.54
Hello everybody and a Happy New Year to you all.
This is just a short update to announce that we are releasing a v4.54 patch via Steam today. This is a bug fix and enhancements release (no new content) and although it is a patch, it is a full 8GB download. This is because we are also introducing a new release and patch procedure - which we will use to roll out further patches between now and the release of TF 5.0.
The list of fixes and enhancements is as follows:
- Enhanced grass rendering (Fix for the grass popping up).
- Fixed parachutes disappearing in the distance.
- Fixed steam lobby creation.
- Removed “Jump Points“ aka 'Long Grass Traps' on the airfields.
- This does not fix the spawn points off the airfields, yet.
- Bugtracker: #562, #774, #867, #869
- Fixed wrong GUI font messing up cursor position and input fields in chat and Full Mission Builder.
- Implemented radiator over-pressure valve for aircraft with pressurised radiators.
- Water radiator only vents as long as there's a reserve.
- Various changes in Blenheim MkIV top gunner cabin animations.
- Separated sight illumination control for multi-crew aircraft.
- Smooth lever/switches cockpit animations for Bf110 versions, Blenheim MkIV, BR.20, Tiger Moth, G.50, He 111, Hurricane Mk1, Ju 87B2, Bf 109 versions, Spitfire versions and Su 26.
- JU88-A1 turrets B and C must now be unlocked with the "Toggle Park Position" key (as with other turrets).
- If markings were switched off (in plane options), they no longer show in tracks.
- Smoke tracers.
- Hurricane MkI FB bomb switch display error when dropping bombs from external view
- Bf 109 trim indicator display and range corrected
- Bugtracker: #560, #990, #1004
- Shaders optimisations
NOTE:
- Please be sure to delete your cache file (in your 'Documents/1C SoftClub/il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover' folder) before running the game again.
- Some people who are running AVG or AVAST Anti-Virus are having problems with them blocking the game from running. Solutions: Add an exception for the 64 bit launcher .exe in the main folder. If you still continue to have problems, then you may need to uninstall the Anti-Virus program, (delete all folders after uninstall), then restart your computer, run the game once, then re-install the Anti-Virus and add CoD-Blitz to the exceptions before running the game again.
Launcher .exe is the file with the Blue and Red rondel.
We hope you enjoy it.
For and on behalf of Team Fusion Simulations,
Bonkin.

Re: TFS Developer Update - Patch v4.54
The new tracers look really good. Authentic eye candy...
Have you got any tracers that will let me hit another plane though ? :D

Re: TFS Developer Update - Patch v4.54
Very good stuff TFS and Bonkin! More excited about the patch releasing procedure! Hopefully it helps make releasing patches quicker and easier for you guys. S!

Re: TFS Developer Update - Patch v4.54
I agree with Squidly, those smoke tracers are "smokin"
Thanks to everyone involved for the patch

Re: TFS Developer Update - Patch v4.54
Came home after a hard day, fired up steam to play some stuff, get message about a 6GB download.
Took me a while to realise who it was from and what it was for.
So no Naval Action for me tonight. Instead sitting here with a glass of Glenrothes in hand, waiting for the download to finish (will take 3h with the lame stuff available in my neck of the woods...) and then FLYING. Yeah!
Thanks a lot guys! You saved the day, the week, this sim! You're awesome! Cheers!

Re: TFS Developer Update - Patch v4.54
Thank you TFS!
Though, as first feedback: My antivirus program "Avast Free Antivirus" identifies the new Launcher64.exe as infected ("IDP.Generic"). I had to add an exception in order to be able to run the game.
As far as I remember the antivirus scan-settings should be the default ones. At least more or less.

Re: TFS Developer Update - Patch v4.54
Loving the new update. TFS! Especially the new, more realistic parachutes!
Hey, hey, hey! So...no more 'ATAG_ Marlow's parachute failed to deploy!'..... messages? Happy days!
Or have I missed something? Please don't say TFS have left Big Hilda still in charge of Parachute Packing!!!!
Gordon Bennet! How could they?

Re: TFS Developer Update - Patch v4.54
By any chance did the netcode changes made it in the patch?

Re: TFS Developer Update - Patch v4.54
Thanks TFS for the update and keeping our communities dream alive.
Marlow, Hilda now OIC at armoury. So when we shoot and cant hit a barn door, your know who loaded you up mate!
And Hilda has a twin over in France too!

I run windows defender
no problems to report.
be interesting to hear from others though.
I ran thrid party AV stuff for years.
then... I didn't.
never had an issue since. I've had plenty of pop up "buy this essential upgrade" scamware notices before.
minded to think that the "free" tools (windows defender accepted) flag up stuff that will drum up custom for the paid for version of whatever super duper "free" AV software you got.
I'm mainly minded that way because of two things:
1: It would be a VERY lucrative business model
2: awww.... you caught me out !! I don't want to repeat myself. See point 1.
and as a third point...
just going with windows defender has been seamless.

Lol. Kiwi was my gunner earlier and he would still see you Knighty....
The smoking tracers look awesome sitting in my rear cockpit while they are being fired at me and going over my head and into my aircraft etc.

Dear Red Pilots.........I have to report some very serious intelligence just received from MI6, London.
We have just intercepted a letter, sent to Big Hilda at Lympne, from her sister, Brunhilda, who has been promoted from the Armoury and now works in the Laundry Department at Marquise West. Apparently she is now in charge of all JG 52's smalls! In her letter, Brunhilda boasts that JG 52 are invincible! They cannot be shot down because the Fuhrer has issued them with...........................IRON UNDERPANTS!!!!!!' :stunned:
Experimentation with cannon firing Spitfires has consequently been accelerated and it seems likely the new weapons will be available for the up coming North African Campaign!
Iron underpants.....manufactured by Krupps, deep within the Rhur! This explains everything.....just what will the dreaded 'yellow noses' think of next! Salute! :recon:

Re: TFS Developer Update - Patch v4.54
Excellent start to the new year, many thanks TFS.
Echo all the good comments.
Is it my imagination or are the clouds slightly better?
i haven't seen the dreaded "flat bottom" at a few thousand feet yet.
:thumbsup:

Re: TFS Developer Update - Patch v4.54
Marlow is not to be issued any parachute........Good work TF .......TWC Campaign server testing has been updated but mission server awaits Flugs magic fingers!

Hush!
It's top secret, but I heard a rumour that the ingenious engineers of FG28 are already experimenting to replace the 303s with squirt guns that will make those metal panties rust!
That will show them!
