    IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs Of Dover and Desert Wings - Tobruk: Update 5.037

    Greetings, Pilots!


    As I wrote for patch 036, it's been a long time since the last patch ... too long as it turned out : We accumulated one to many change in that time. Well here're the fixes.


    *** Fix: Connection problems to servers and error on spawning in all variants of HurricaneMkIIc (same cause) [Artist]

    *** Fix: AI Bombers bomb spacing field now enabled on creation of a new air group [Oskar]

    *** Aircraft at takeoff waypoint are not forced to act as line abreast formation for takeoff anymore [Oskar]

    *** All Campaigns, Quick Missions, Single Missions, and Training Missions: resaved .mis files to resolve an issue introduced in the last patch that caused in-flight aircraft to crash with their wingmen on mission start (thank you DD-FT_). [cybermat47]

    *** Campigns "Their Finest Hour", "Rising from the Ashes", and "On Ne Passe Pas!" and Single Missions "Battle for Biggin Hill", "Unending Onslaught", and "The Kanalkampf": changed He 111 loadouts to 32x 50kg bombs dropped at 20m intervals. [cybermat47]

    *** Campaign "Their Greatest Challenge": added No. 601 SQN Hurricanes, No. 602 SQN Spitfires, and No. 235 SQN Blenheims to mission 10. To depict the events of August 18th 1940, the Blenheims will scramble from Thorney Island as the attacking Stukas approach and defend the airfield. [cybermat47]

    *** Campaigns "Their Finest Hour", "Their Greatest Challenge", "Desert Hawks", "Eagles Over Tobruk", "On Ne Passe Pas!" and "Rising from the Ashes": added new mission success scripts - success is now based on player survival (thank you Yo-Yo). Mission death slides have also been added, and final mission failure debriefs have been revised (English only for now). [cybermat47]

    *** Campaign "Rising From the Ashes": changed smoke in missions 1 and 2 from black oil fire smoke to grey building fire smoke. [cybermat47]

    *** Single Missions "As Above, So Below", "Darkness Over Derna", and "Dawn Over the Desert": added Commonwealth artillery emplacements at Sidi Bu Amud. [cybermat47]

    *** Single Mission "Aftershocks": Revised Blenheim waypoints so that they will no longer fly over hostile AA and airfields while returning to base, fixed wind setting that did not match briefing, update mission slide and icon. [cybermat47]

    *** Single Missions "Battle on the Somme" and "The Kanalkampf": fixed waypoints for escorting Bf 109s and updated slides to match updated '5.StG 2' skin. [cybermat47]

    *** Single Mission "Darkness Over Derna": corrected error in briefing and revised spacing between Wellingtons - they are now closer together. [cybermat47]

    *** Single Mission "Falco Assault": added new mission in which CR.42 fighter-bombers take part in the Battle of Gazala while Kittyhawks attack German supply lines. [cybermat47]

    *** Single Mission "The Kanalkampf": added 40mm bofors to convoy tanker and changed tanker's skin to default. [cybermat47]

    *** Single Mission "Martlets over the Mediterranean": changed Ju 87 B-2/trops to Ju 87 B-2s to match images of Italian Ju 87s, applied the 'Italian Pichiatello' skin to all Ju 87s, and updated briefings and slides to match. [cybermat47]

    *** Skin "5.StG 2": sub-par elements of this skin have been updated. [cybermat47]

    *** Skin "Italian Pichiatello": added to Ju 87 B-2. [cybermat47]

    *** Skins "Spitfire Europe Late 1940-Early 1941" and "TFS Spit IIa EBZ Observer Corps a02 (Black Left Wing)": updated so that the oil radiator is now completely black. [cybermat47]

    Thanks for the fixes.

    Concerning this item:
    *** All Campaigns, Quick Missions, Single Missions, and Training Missions: resaved .mis files to resolve an issue introduced in the last patch that caused in-flight aircraft to crash with their wingmen on mission start (thank you DD-FT_). [cybermat47]

    Most of my Quick Missions no longer allow me to change the plane. Is this intended?

    Similar problem to what Dawson described being reported in the Steam forum. Possibly an unintended side effect with the reaving of all the missions.

    Glad you got the hurriIIC issue.

    Can't select planes in single missions either.

    No, not at all. If this happened *after* you opened and saved them in FMB ...

    ... same question (*after* you opened and saved them in FMB?) ...

    ... then it is because of a (for us!) unexpected sideeffect: The introduction of "Air Groups now have formation and spacing set at waypoints" feature deprecated the "formation" entry in the airgroup ... unfortunately the "Custom" button not only reads the .mis file (not unexpected ), but also made an utterly unneccessary check for exactly that "formation" entry (unexpected!) and ignores the airgroup if not found.

    We will publish the fix asap.

    Moin comrades,

    I noticed on the TWC server that the temperature of the Me109F4 goes into the red zone much faster than before the patch.

    Can anyone confirm this?

    *Same problem with the Bf109F-2, damaged engine caused by overheating 3 minutes after take-off, radiator on auto.
    *Quick Missions and Single Missions do not have Custom field any more.

    Patch 036 added this fix:

    *** Fix: Map Temperature[/b] Map ambient temperatures updated; Channel Summer: 24, Channel Fall: 5, Channel Winter: -5, Tobruk: 27 [Oskar]
    It is easy to overheat Bf 109 F2/F4 on the Summer map, almost impossible on the winter map... Adjust your habits accordingly. The game got more complicated!

    If this is so, it must have an effect for all aircraft and not only for the 109s! Correct?
    Then it is ok for me.

    I experienced higher temperatures with the Blenheim yesterday. I was going to comment that the map was winter 1941 recently, but today I see it's July 1940 again. Not aware of the sudden time shift backwards, but my assumption there's new ambient temperatures to consider seems to be correct.

    RGR

    My 50 percent water radiator and 35 percent oil, for summer temperatures won't be enough anymore.

    I will correct that

    It has.
    On Monday we damaged the engines of a Kittyhawk and a Spit respectively, by using our standard settings.
    No reason for Luftwhining

    You just have to learn to watch the temperature gauges again.

    Perhaps another feature to investigate is the behaviour of Submarines when attacked, they don't register as sunk and in fact can out-climb a Wellington ;o)

    Apologies if this is the wrong thread for this observation.

    That is the infamous "Flying Ships Bug" (https://www.tfbt.nuvturais.de/issues/1307) that harasses multiplayer since the very beginning. We still don't know what causes it - and whenever we try to debug it, it does not happen.

    Concerning the collision problem in singleplayer:

    We've identified what went wrong and are making final tests. Then we'll publish a fix.

    We're really sorry for this, but sometimes things like this slip through ... we always try to guard against the expected ... and then the unexpected happens

    Is this issue related to TWC server ai currently colliding with each other ?
    I've also noted the recent return of the excess damage reporting in the chat window where every planes' crew member gets mentioned when killed. There was much less chat window clutter until recently. I assume it's not just a coincidence.

    Thanks for all your efforts

    A squad mate reported that constantly about 80% of his Wellingtons collided, when he flew repair on TWC.
    Started after the last patch.
    But there seem also changes from TWC (engine temperature when spawning).

    Can confirm the same on blue side.

    No matter what bombers I choose to get, within less than 5 minutes after issuing cdist 400 command, I've lost 10-11 out of 16 bombers due to collision.

    Looking at the rest/leftovers, they're crammed almost wingtip to wingtip, so it seems cdist doesn't work at all and default is perhaps zero!

    Tep

    PS This was tested in TWC current GENGHIS KHAN Campaign server only.

    Beside the collisions, Bf109s are flying in a 3 line astern formation instead of the historic correct schwarm 4 formation in Their greatest challenge campaign.

    I have frequent CTD's when I am in the "Player plane" section of a single mission, anyone else have this since 5.037?

    FYI, on the TWC servers, the <cdist command affects only the spacing between formations.

    Until now, there has been no way to change the spacing within a single formation.

    Apparently this patch caused the spacing within a formation to become too small, and so the aircraft crashed.

    On the TWC server, flying with <cover aircraft, one solution would be to call in formations of just one aircraft, but then use a large <cdist command, like <cdist 400 or even <cdist 1000.

    So something like <cover 10 1 X6 (which calls in aircraft #10 in a formation of 1, and then repeats that command 6 times, so you end up with 6 formations, each formation with 1 aircraft) instead of <cover 10 6 (which calls in a formation of 6 aircraft of type #10).

    With the latest patch (just applied to the server) I THINK this problem is solved for now.

    But in general that is how <cdist works - it affects only the spacing between separate formations - it can't (yet) do anything to affect the spacing within a formation.
