WW2OL 2 week free trial is out again. Version 1.15.

[BF109e]

Just a friendly heads up for those interested.

http://www5.playnet.com/bv/wwiiol/filefront_promo.jsp

1.14 gave us visible damage on all planes, with a revamped damage model.
1.15 should be out in a matter of a days.

Cheers.

Oh, BTW, here are some guncams showing off the new damage model:

did they fix the flight model yet?

[BF109e]

The flight model is better than it's ever been.

They also added trackIR support.
You'll find some videos of it in action at http://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/

Any new aircraft?  P40s?

Lets keep it honest:

Due to the RDP model:
109F - gets in game about 40% of gameplay time
SpitV - gets in game about 40% of gameplay time
HurriIIC - gets in game about 20% of gameplay time
110C4B - gets in game about 10% of gameplay time

P40 (H81 French version) - gets in game about 10% of gameplay time
Bell P39 (French version) - gets in game about 10% of gameplay time
DB7 bomber (French)
Havoc bomber (British)


As for the 'under development' stuff don't hold you breath. CRS's "soon"  make HTC's  "two weeks" seem like about 2 minutes.

No. And the DM is still about 60% of AH's (no structural stress, some components still not breakable).

[BF109e]

The RDP model is undergoing change as we speak to incorporate a parallel research tree, with different equipment taking different amounts of time, and with ability to speed it up through allocation of resources.

And CRS releases a patch about every month and a half now. They've really picked up the pace.
We can expect those vehicles before summer is out.

I've been enjoying WW2OL over AcesHigh these days. Still waiting for the next plane patch for AH to draw me back.

I'd be as happy as anyone to see the 190 in game - but I seriously doubt we'll see it within the next 3 months. Even if the 190 and Spit IX get in game I personally see major problems with how these aircraft will perform in the low visibility range environment of WW2OL.

oh, and fwiw I currently spend more time in WW2OL than AH, its the squad environment thats grabbed me. The game has a mountain of issues, but hook up with a good squad and they all fade into the background (cept for the occasional bout of swearing on Teamspeak).

FM still blows but ground war is excellent.

[Estes]

I figured it did Russian.

The ground war was pretty fun, except the having to jog half an hour  thing.

[BF109e]

The FM is not IL-2, but it's still pretty good.
It's certainly much better than any of the Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator games.

There is also depot spawning now, so infantry can get to the frontline faster and combat is more dense.

[Estes]

wow cool.

I'm going to have to give it a try again.
