Version 2.23 Changes
======================

Added the B-29.  Thanks to Greebo for providing the skin.  Note that this skin does use a max texture resolution of 2048 instead of 1024.

CAUTION:  The B-29 is a large aircraft that can be loaded to staggering weights.  It is not going to be able to fly out of every place that it is available in every configuration.  Since it is a premium perk plane, we STRONGLY SUGGEST that you first familiarize yourself in offline practice mode with its takeoff characteristics at different weights and field altitudes as well as its structural limits at max speed and max G.  As always, use your perk points at your own risk.

Changed title screen art.  Thanks to Blade for the title art submission.  He wins 1000 perk points in each perk category.  Please see the sticky post in the Screenshots forum for info on submitting your screenshots.

Updated the A6M5 3D model.  Again thanks to Greebo of the Skinner Team for providing the skin.

Added music to the intro title screen.

Upped town capture % to 75%.

Updated the pilot bailout 3D model.

Updated the paratrooper 3D model.

Updated parachute on dropped vehicle and base supplies.

Fixed an issue that occasionally caused a white screen crash on startup on certain machines.

Added a host option to switch voice compressors on the fly. We'll be using this feature to test out a new voice compressor in the future.

Fixed an issue that could bombs or rockets to launch from a slightly different spot than where they were hanging.

Increased rocket damage on German 28cm, British 60lb, and U.S. Bazooka rockets.

Made a number of changes in the bomber drones.  They now look much better during takeoff and will form up and go into follow mode when you reach 100 feet above ground level (used to be 250).  Drones will take a bit longer to reform up after maneuvering.

Moved the bomber entry point on runways forward so that all drones start on the runway.

Decreased damage on 100kg bombs to put it into the proper scale.  They were doing more damage than 250lb bombs despite weighing less.

Updated 2000lb bomb shape.

The view system is now active in the lobby.

The task group commander now shows up in the task group list when you first enter the arena.

Overstress sound from excessive speed now starts to play at a narrower speed range than before.

Found a bug in the B-17 that caused the right inner wing to be more susceptible to damage than the left inner wing.

Logging into the admin section with an invalid password was not generating an error message.

Opened up hangar doors at the airfield hangars.

Fixed head bounding issue on the G4M waist gunner.

Fixed z-fighting issue on town roads going over hills.

Fixed some draw order issues on ack guns.

Changed the torpedo shape on the B5N.

Fixed a damaged town structure that players could find a way into.

Calibrated flap indicators on various planes to get them to align correctly.

"Increased rocket damage on German 28cm, British 60lb, and U.S. Bazooka rockets."

I was testing out ceiling when the game froze.  :(

Last recorded data was a climb rate of 315 @ ...40,000ft.  A couple minutes after that game froze, still some more bugs to work out as always.

I love the B-29 but in my own topgear opinion. would i fly it. and the answer is YES! i would but not below 25K. to me it feels like the lanc theres no way to shoot directly downwards, so its best to fly it at very high alt for safety.

If they're showing previews of new stuff and then there's a week where they don't show anything, the update usually comes out the week after that.
Granted they did show new B29 shots, but we already knew we were getting that. His guess was a bit less certain considering :)

Oakranger, first option should not be to uninstall, no matter, I think you have to allow it through your firewall permission, or depending on version, I heard loggin as administrator helped.

Sorry bro, I hope you get in soon.

There is not one but two lower turrets. So if you can't shoot straight down you're doing something wrong.

theres a blindspot. in the left and right positions you can shoot down but not completely downward and twords the rear. even the tail position can shoot down into the blindspot.

Heads up---

There is a log-in glitch with the new update that does not allow me to log in to any arena.

It goes to freeze-screen---mouse pointer disapears and then says "error has occured".

Can't get into any online arena.

Report on glitch thread but no help as of yet.

It's all part of SAPP's conspiracy to ruin the game.  Thanks Skuzzy, the Grand Exalted Ruler of the Consortium of 12, the plan is working.
