Groobo's Crater MA
Up dated to patch 14 and installed it with no problems. FPS is fine, expect when I first spawn in on runway then FPS is as low as 17 to 54, once in the air the FPS is between 57-60. My garphic card is a MSI GTX 960 4GB DRR5 128 bit, it really don't matter if I SLI the cards or not FPS is about the same.
I have been doing some heavy beta testing on the heavy bombers here are my finding and results:
1) Lancaster 3: The Lancaster bomber has a sound problem which has been comfrimed by, SFOX, Navy84, BZCajun, and a few others. When you start up the Lancaster engine there is no sound at all in either the internal (cockpit view) or external (F3 view). However for me I can hear sound when I first start up the engines, once the engines have completely started up, the sounds of the engine completely stops. I don't about the other players wh have comfrimed the no engine sound, I still can hear the landing gears go up and down, also can hear the flaps go up and down, and bomb bay doors open and close.
2) B-29: The B-29 is working fine, however there is one problem with the B-29, the manifold pressure needle is not working right. After take off and climb to 2,000 ft., I put into auto-climb, I drop my RPM's to Nornal Power at 2400 rpms the manifold pressure needle stayed at 47.5, I believe it should drop to about 42 MP. Later I drop the rpms Max Cruise which is 2200 rpms, the manifold pressure needle stayed at 47.5 and did not drop to the correct reading, I believe it should be around 40 or 38.5 MP. After about 1 1/2 hours of flight time and the ALT. of about 27,000 ft. the manifold pressure needle finally moved to the correct manifold prressure reading.
I believe this a bug, the manifold pressure needle should move to the correct reading after you drop your RPMs. It shouldn't take 1 1/2 hours of flight time before it moves to the correct reading. Other then the manifold pressure needle problem, the B-29 works great.
3) B-17G: The B-17G is working beautifully, no problems.
4) B-24J: The B-24J is working great, I did have one problem, this may be just a one time thing, I was in the bombsight, just when I was ready to drop my bombs, the bombsight just went black for about 3-5 seconds, then it reappeared. I redid my bomb run and this time nothing happen. Like I said it may have been a one time thing.
There are few odd things happening with the bombers, one player reported that he had lag with his drones, lagging about 2k from the lead plane.
I tested on a formation of B-17's and B-29's. With the B-17's and B-29's, both times I climb to 20K and went into the bombsight and turn the planes. In the B-17's after I turn went to auto-level went to F3 view and both drons were about 3k behind me, few minutes later then join the formation.
I did the same thing with the B-29's after the turn went to F3 view and both drones was about 2k behind me, they too join formation with in a few minutes. Is this a bug? Not sure maybe a internet thing.
Another odd thing, I was flying on the Bish side, I think it was A64 or 54, it is the 2k air field, took Ki 67 from there I believe on NW runway, there is a little hill at the end of runway. Once up in the air and wheels up, I did a gentle right hand turn, after turn went to auto-climb, went to external view F3 and looked behind me, saw my Ki 67 drones flying stright, a few minutes later they join the formation. I never saw that happen before.
Also the reflextion on the B-17 engine 1 and 2 of the B-17G cockpit, I just went in the graphic card and turned off the reflextion, end of problem.
This is my report and finds for Aces High 3 Beta Patch 14.
