Some problems that Athena and I ran across (will post pictures when able):

Taking off in a Spit 9 on the 10k middle base of the FesterMA map, my shadow was on top of my plane, covering the left wing.

Pintle and hull guns on the panzer disappeared when moved more than a few degrees in any direction.  

Rounds fired from the panzer's main turret turn into white rectangles shortly after leaving the gun.

Crosshairs and range counter in main turret disappear momentarily after each shot (not just normal recoil effect).

The counter in the M3 that normally says "TRPS  10"  shows the text in large (hangar sized) letters, and vertically instead of horizontally in the text boxes.  This is true for cargo as well.

More updates will follow as found.

Great job ...  

Only got a chance to fly 51B & D.   Noted that external stores did not show up on external views.

The rocket rails and the fire from 50cals on the P51B only show up on the left side from the internal view.  Cant see the rails at all on the D.

Rates are much better then last ver.  Smoke from guns looks better.  

Changed time to sunset 21:30,  man did the shadows look awsome.

keep up the good work.

ZMEg im interested in the yellow tree texture bug. If you can reproduce how it came to be,i.e. did you alt tab, change settings, what ever , any info would be apreciated.

The other ones are straight forward fixes.

I have only had time to try it for short time, but I did notice that the tracer-smoke is visble infront of the actual tracer round. When the round catches up to the smoke, new smoke is drawn infront of the round again.

With 993, now getting major lags in display. Same as before... display hiccups, or stops for a brief moment. Now happening more frequently than previous versions.

Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600)
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.53GHz
Memory: 1024MB RAM
DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0b (4.09.0000.0902)
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4600
Display Memory: 128.0 MB
Current Mode: 1024 x 768 (32 bit) (100Hz)


-----------------------------------------
When looking back in Spit, seat rivets are flashing/blinking.

With screen flashing, now see a noticable drop in frame rate. If at 45fps, when screen flashes/pauses it drops to 40fps and recovers to 45fps.

run dxdiag.. go to sound... under sound hardware acceleration, if it's cranked to full, take it down a notch.

The paratroop icon shows through my plane as I circle overhead (these troops have all landed on the ground in this shot).

Also, no bullet holes appear on the target when using the .target command at any range.

Been there done that...it's not the problem.

Always down one notch. Although, that shouldn't be needed and should be corrected so the game accepts full accel. :)
