Author	Topic: New FSC Beta
Michael Harrison General	posted 05-19- 05:19 PM There's a new beta up at www.dragonseye.com/FSBeta This is a build that is not for the faint of heart. It contains all of our engine modifications to date and is being put out to see what changes might have negatively or positively affected Fighter Squadron. A more friendly version will appear pending feedback from this version IP: Logged
Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 05-19- 05:36 PM Spanky here... Again, LOL great stuff man. I'll check it out. Does more friendly mean something we can use online? Or is it more the install thats unfriendly? IP: Logged

Michael Harrison General	posted 05-19- 06:56 PM Hold off on downloading the latest beta. Initial tests are coming back with ugly problems. damnit... works on my machine IP: Logged
Nat Pilot	posted 05-19- 07:13 PM I was just about to mention this.. LOL, sorry though, mine wasn't in a test, it just wont start error: the APP.EXE file is linked to missing export IMAGEHLP.DLL:SymGetLineFromAddr. I guess this is the same as you've had reported via the site ~Nat~ IP: Logged
bomber Pilot	posted 05-19- 07:19 PM Things are looking brighter for the summer. Thanks MH IP: Logged
Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 05-19- 07:20 PM Spanky here... Yep same one, He's working on it IP: Logged
Michael Harrison General	posted 05-19- 07:58 PM Ok, there's a new build available. Changes include: o Modified the main exe so that older versions of imagehlp.dll (hopefully) won't cause app loading to fail. o Fixed ground startup so that it works in FS again. I'm leaving soon, so the next round of fixes won't happen tonight, but I'm interested in any feedback to dragonseye.com IP: Logged

Tailslide Pilot	posted 05-19- 09:42 PM Thanks Michael, the jaggies on the cliffs of dover in D3D are mostly gone and the blue band in the terrain in the previous version is also gone. Still some glitches but it's looking better. TS IP: Logged

Razer Pilot	posted 05-20- 12:01 PM OK bug reports.. This is on a fresh install. system specs: PIII 733 /133 128 megs PC133 Voodoo 3 3000 16 megs AWE 64 gold ======================= Planes no longer start on the ground. they start 6 feet under and fall through. Theres no fog. the terrain just cuts off at a point. when you engage the autopilot it cuts the throttle and pulls back on the stick. It keeps doing this till it hits the ground. there must have been major code change cause now all the FM's are hosed. it may have been just me but i did notice a few graphic enhancments. or maybe my 3DFX is starting to look better this was just from a 10min. flight, i'll see what else i can come up with with a longer test. ------------------ Tony "Razer" Martin http://www.fshangar.com [This message has been edited by Razer (edited 05-20-2000).] IP: Logged
bjorn Pilot	posted 05-20- 01:40 PM MH, Why? I.e., why are you coming back for this in the morning? Have a good weekend off with wife and friends instead. Much better spent time, IMO. _ /Bjorn. IP: Logged
charmstar Pilot	posted 05-20- 06:32 PM Wow, this is really great! I can't believe only days after I was predicting that SOS and the patch would never happen, we get this! Anyhow, I'm especially happy that we are getting some new properties. I know that Openplane is decent as is, but how about once it gets seriously pimped out? I'm especially glad to see the 4 new AI properties, and the propVariable property. I really think that the more AI properties we get, the better. These will really open up the game, allowing other than WWII planes to be flown well by AI pilots. charm IP: Logged
Michael Harrison General	posted 05-20- 08:12 PM Bjorn: Are you kidding? Trying to have a life on the weekends very nearly got me burned at the stake. It was just coincidence that I got ahead on our schedule and could spend a day putting the NDA idea and Beta together enough to make public. IP: Logged
ReaperMan Pilot	posted 05-20- 08:52 PM (hiding a torch behind his back, amidst the angry mob) Whatever do you mean, Michael? IP: Logged
Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 05-20- 09:37 PM SPanky here... MH He was just giving you THIS weekend off. lol IP: Logged
Michael Harrison General	posted 05-21- 12:23 PM oh, Razer... Thanks for the report, but please place them on the board at dragonseye.com Most people here won't try this beta (I hope) so I don't want to clutter this board with bug reports. thanks. IP: Logged
Michael Harrison General	posted 05-21- 06:34 PM Build 73 has just been posted IP: Logged
Nat Pilot	posted 05-21- 07:16 PM gotta tell ya, this is nice ) bug reports being swiftly acted on... but I agree, you should've had a break for the weekend, we wouldn't have held that against ya.. honest! IP: Logged
