Ok,
No more video jaggies thanx to this new patch!
But now when flak starts blasting me my plane stops responding. No joystick movement nor can i eject from plane. Did the pilot just get hit with shrapnel? Can i tweak something in the .ini file to make flak bursts less destructive?
I have the difficulty settings all the way down so i can atleast try to drop a few bombs, but once that flak starts, my plane just stops responding. ------------------

The flack became especially deadly with 2.9 with the Alt. Explosions, Bullet Penetration and Crew Radius options in the Gerneral Options screen. Try turning some of these off and see if that helps. I think possibly Jeeves new loadouts may have helped improve things here. Jeeves?IP: Logged |

Hmm....didn't touch the flak guns....I believe it has more to do with the ob hits on the planes being too weak.Right now- attempts to put the loadouts into the par file for testing have failed miserably...need to think more on getting things straightened out... IP: Logged |

OK, sorry Jeeves. I thought maybe the explosive power of the flak was changed too. The flak is pretty damn brutal. I wonder if it's too powerful, or too accurate at long range like the bomber gunners used to be.IP: Logged |

this was somthing I fixed a loooong time back, but very very little interest was paid, I think after the virus the fix is one of the things that got killed in my reformat, maybe if you're very very lucky someone actualy downloaded the fixes and can send them to you, but don't hold you're breath while you wait round here.IP: Logged |

Ahh, i think i have that zip nat. It replaces the FLAK37 ,FLAK PANZER and the JAP ARMOURED FLAK units. I think it makes them less accurate? or less powerful.Anyone want? IP: Logged |

Hi Nat,
Ive been messing around in ops with a few of the flak units. Ive mande myslef a couple of light flak units, by copying the FlakPanzer and the JapArmoured flak and messing around with the guns. And i was just wondering how one would be able to change the texture of these units in ops (eash time i try to do it it does nothing)Any help apreciated MkB IP: Logged |

changing the texture isn't all that easy if you want to do anything major, but here's some help tips take a screen shot of the object you want to change the texture of. in your pain program open the screen shot and the actual texture for the model, this will help to see which part of the texture goes where. From this, you can now makes changes to the texture having a fairly good idea which part you're working on, for instance, the jap flak was just a quick thing I threw together, I didn't make the texture as such, I changed the original Sherman texture, what you should do, is once you've made the changes, save it in the same place and with the same name as the original, then it will show up (just make sure you backed up the original texture) Hope this helps a little ~Nat~ IP: Logged |

Hey all,
i am having the same problem with the flak and the new patch. Even with the difficulty settings on low. When one flak burst appears, the plane is fried  Would be nice for the flak to slowly pick your plane to pieces instead of instantaniuos. I think flak bursts should be controlled in the settings along with everything else.
Anyway, a small fix would be nice if its available?Thanx in advance
