Sorry for the delay, hitech always get me to approve any changes and I have been at work. Here is what I have given the go ahead on:

Version 2.21 Patch 3 Changes
======================

This patch changes the host data architecture and structure.  There should be no change to the exterior workings of the game.  This change is part of the development of hosted user spawned arenas of limited capacity.

In game pop-up messages now show up in the upper left hand corner in a cascading fashion.

Fixed a bug with the gunsights in the B-25's waist gunner position.

Fixed a sorting issue with squad art on the Ar 234.

Fixed propeller and blood issues on the Mosquito XVI.

The in cockpit propeller controls on both Mosquitos are now mated to the correct engines.

Il-2 cockpit landing gear indicators now mate up with the correct landing gear.

 ;)

Yes I know, but apparently we had no advanced warning.  The ones in the arena advised that we were going to be reset and all were on patch 2 but I was there with patch 3 when it all reset.  Normally we have some notice of some sort but nothing.  I was just being lazy and didn't want to search the directory as I thought somebody would have announced something.

All the Best...

In other words... nevermind the patch as there is nothing to see here... move along!
Except that it has broken a bunch of stuff that will require another patch or two or three!

Probably just all in the timing. Release the patch and you went in before he could finish inputting info on the Website as it is there now.  :salute

ok so time to avoid logging in to the game till the next fixer patch? or is it still worth flying in? because i love blowing planes up, not buildings...

No carrier based Georges. In fact, the Sam "Reppu" A7M was intended to replace the A6M as the principle carrier-borne fighter.

With the game the way it is, ppl using 47s with 1000lbers and a 500lber centerline to kill CVs and CAs, I wonder how much use D4Y and B6N would actually get. Probably the same reason why no one really complains about not having an SB2C.

I do agree, however, that there are gaps in the IJN, Russian, and Italian planesets.

However - since the Brewster broke some ground - there's a slew of aircraft that could be considered that came from smaller countries, or for whatever reason, have been neglected by history...IAR 80s, Dewotine D.520, Moraine Ms.406, Boomerang, Wirraway, etc., that fit the criteria for combat as well as some aircraft we currently have. Yes, its true, most would be FSO or AvA aircraft, would be hangar queens in the LW, but so are a bunch of planes we have now.


all these planes here would get the "dedicateds". like every plane in the game, pilots dedicate themselves to one or two different planes. i myself dedicate my flying time to the P51B and the A6M5b....Ive seen dedicated pilots to the Brewbrew and Ju87 even, and I-16. there would be the same for these planes you listed...

I experienced tater issues too. Sometimes no hit sprites and plane would go down, other times, I would see hit sprites and no damage would occur to the plane. Also, often taters seemed to go through the target.

does it really mean a h2h-like option will be integrated again? when it is true it is a pleasure to resubscribe after a long time without aces high, after they killed the wonderful h2h option (i maybe was the only subscriber who played the free h2h option more than the main arenas). there are so many possibilities in user-made terrains like advanced race maps and so much more. great news anyway..

IMHO.... They are definitely working on reinstating the H2H in some fashion. I'm sure for subscribers only.

I think it will be a big help for those individuals making terrains to present for considerstion in the MAs too. H2H was a pretty good testing ground for them in my opinion.

Absolutely. Shuffler shot me down yesterday. His light bomber was all over my Ta-152, the most modern prop fighter of the Luftwaffe. HTC clearly nerfed German iron again!  :x :banana:  :bolt:

Complete accident from my view as the B-38 kept turning the opposite of my input.  :neener:

Was it intact? I can see how it would confuse you if you had all your control surfaces and weren't compensating for a massive loss of lift on one side...

noticed when bombing only half of the eggs would detonate, i could sit in the ball gunner position and see only half of them hit and destroy the hangers the others just hit the ground leaving no trace of anything even hitting, or exploding
