Beta 2

cross country Vox does not work

We had this problem in the AvA (kesserine) arena Thursday night. Most of us already had vox V set for channel 223 but it wasn't working.

The game isn't picking up the channel number even though the previously set channel number still shows.

The work-around we discovered was to retype the cross country .radio 5 [channel number] into the text buffer.

While flying in the Melee tag GS4 arena I noticed that the cockpit shadows displayed across a wing were very jagged until the shadows transitioned across the wing hump over the Hispano cannon in towards the cockpit...there is an invisible line that shows up where once the shadows edges cross it the jaggies go completely away & are very clean & sharp.

Saw this across both wings on my Spitty Mk IX at the same exact place of reference.

Looks like there is something amiss in the transparent mapping that is saying apply AA on cockpit shadows up to a certain point across the wing area but no further..........

Cockpit shadows that are cast on objects inside the cockpit are jagged as well but not as severe.

Could hear planes passing outside my cockpit..............

This is a copy of my posting that I posted during Beta1 phase..........

In Beta 2 I can still detect the same issues at the same areas as mentioned earlier.

But I also ran a test & went into my AMD vid card drivers and set the Anisotropic Filtering setting to override the application setting (left all others set to default) then set the level to 16x (max) then went back into Beta2 & went up in my Spitty Mk IX & flew around and noticed that the shadow jaggies were significantly reduced on a whole....not gone but far, far less blocky on the edges w\ AF enabled than w\o AF enabled.

I still saw the aforementioned issue where the shadow jaggies cleared out once the shadow crossed the Hispano gun humps towards the cockpit on both wings but the difference was vastly reduced w/ AF enabled than w/o AF enabled.

Using AMD Radeon Settings w\ Crimson 16.1 Hotfix drivers.........

Thought I'd mention this.

Melee > CraterMA

Upped a box of B-17's from A116. Had a gunner onboard. Bombed and destroyed (friendly) C11.

Upon bailing the buffs I was kicked to the desktop - AH has stopped working. Re-entered game. My gunner who also exited the aircraft was in tower, as per normal.

None of us here run with a full size window, yet none of use have ever seen this phenomenon.  Only a few people are having this issue.  There has to be a common denominator between the folks having this issue.  We are trying to figure it out.

I am running three monitors (Asus VG248QE - Generic PNP MS Drivers) from an Nvidia GTX980sc.  Resolution is set at 5760 x 1080.  Refresh set at 144hz.  My FOV is currently set at 145.

I've always had the 'clipboard size problem'.  Happy to work with any changes you recommend.

I found and fixed the issue yesterday, all should be normal for you in the next patch.

Sounds a lot like an issue we saw where we'd have two pilots in an aircraft (in a fighter) and the pilot would bail and crash to desktop, the joined person would not crash to desktop.

When reflections are turned off they reappear in the tower windows on return to the tower.  Reflections are still off in the cockpit even after they reappear in the tower. Deselecting and re-selecting EM to None or Reflections will turn off the window reflections until the next tower visit.

Reflections are different then what you are seeing in the tower.

What you are seeing in the tower windows is environment mapping.

I thought that might be why the EM setting affected it, I understand that even set to None the EM uses a map it just doesn't update it, but it goes away when you turn off reflections which on reflection is a little confusing.

Melee/Greebo's CraterMA: when closing A47 in order to shoot the ack, the game stopped responding. Went back and the auto save had taken me to the other side of the field. Turned back and when I was close enough to locate an ack, stopped responding again. Ctrl-Alt-Del->TaskManager enabled using the mouse and helped getting out the situation. The error details are as following, I suppose it doesn't really matter that the titles are in Finnish:

Logged in again after having successfully logged out. Took the same path, this time no issues. However, I took a .psave for the location:

Just an addition to Bizman's report.  I was shooting in his general direction with an 88 gun at the time he CTD

Also during this time, I lost the ability to pull up the map. When I hit esc the controls for the 88gun would work, hit esc again and they wouldn't but no map would pop up. I ended up alt + F4 which asked if I wanted to quit the game. I chose yes and it closed.

Trying to quit the off line arena is freezing the computer again. Have to turn computer off and restart.

   Thanks, sir.

[Blade]

I want to play normal rule arena like AH2s main arena.
Which arena that?

[MADe]

today BETA 2, melee, P-51D
Unfortunately the map was in a night cycle. hard to see.

ran 60 fps np, environment sounds running pre-map, major distortion in engine and environmental sounds. I assume work in progress.

Flight characteristics seemed somewhat different?????????????????????????? I say this based on the fact that my transferred settings will not be the same for ah3 as ah2.

Canopy and cockpit dial glass work is great. Slighty too much tho. Maybe it was the dark map????????
Slightly heavy in the green tint?????? Again maybe dark map????
exiting map went straight to desktop, skipping lobby.
clipboard seems to dim

Trivial stuff, freaking looks great from a end user perspective. I darted trying for tanks.
Loaded offline np today. machine must have needed a reboot after patch install.
