New 4.01 Comments

[TX-CUDA]

...finally got everything re-loaded and patched so I could try out the new PF 4.01m patch. First impressions while flying on the TX-OC3 server with clouds (I think) set at default is that it looks much nicer than before.

....I had a bit of a time trying to get my HE-111 H6 off the deck as it wanted to do some weird crap even at low speed...like spinning in circles. Once I applied power and used the brakes to get pointed in the right direction everything was cool..(ie, I GOT OFF THE DECK!). I set course for the nearest enemy target post haste.

 First impressions:

Graphics look almost real. I went external and was checking out the default skin on my HE-111 and it was almost real.Might be the rig I am running...but I think it looks better as I loaded PF/FB for a while after I built this box.The Plane looked real...but the landscape was still IL2/FB same ole same ole. I might have to jack with the settings on this card to make it look better.

One major improvement that I noticed right off the bat...My Bombs made some serious EYE CANDY as far as the explosions went when I bombed a factory. I was able to track my two 2000K bombs to target and there was crap flying all over the place! Not sure if this is an added feature that was coded or not. I just don't remember being able to go external...put the view on the deck...and see pieces of crap landing in front of the camera view. I'll have to look into this.

....All in all I am glad that our "gonna be here in TWO WEEKS" upgrade has finally been released. I can now get back into flying and making some new maps. I have not had the chance to check out what new maps we have nor if there are any added features in the FMB. For those of you that might be reading this I would have to recommend this upgrade right off the bat. I havent tried the new planes....and haven't flown any BRITISH plane ever...(I REFUSE TO!)but I think it is the best interest of us all to see what in the heck they have handed us this time. Not to say that in a bad way,.....but I would like to know what is the new "Uber" plane.....and what we need to do to keep them off out Six!

...Kingsnake, does it load the new version when you go to launch "standalone"? I just did a fresh install (I had to) and patched to 3.04m and then patched that with the 4.01m.TX-CudaMinister of Information

you may need to reset the game path, to do this Disconnect from HL but dont exit the program, then reconnect while pressing and holding ctrl and shift keys, this will bring up the popup, copy and paste the path, and include \il2fb.exe at the end. . . then press save, DO NOT search.S!TX-EcoDragonBlack 1TX-Squadron XO
