Falcon 4 AF patch 1.10
« on: March 03, 2007, 06:03:58 PM »
Hi guys,

I'm not sure whether this has been posted already, but Lead Pursuit released version 1.10 of Falcon AF on february 25th.

http://www.lead-pursuit.com/downloads.htm


 PATCH 1.10 CHANGELOG
====================

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

    * The "Vector to Tanker" call now calls the closest tanker when the assigned one is too far away at the time of request.
    * Fix SAM units being sometimes fixated on far away flights.
    * "Vector to Package" now tells the vector to the next flight in the package (e.g. Escort) when player is lead in the first package flight.
    * Increased lethality of enemy AI.
    * Better energy management when entering merge of engagement.
    * Fix MADDOG missiles not being recognized by the locked AI plane.

AVIONICS / WEAPONS

    * Fix for A2G missiles with large blast radius exploding way up in the air.
    * Fix for prioritizing best weapon regarding the R60 and R13m (e.g. MiG-21Mbis).
    * Adjustment on letality of SA7, SA14, SA16, HN-5.
    * Fix so R27RE and -TE aren't fired at extreme range, losing lock.

DATA

    * Fixed an issue with Matra-530D missiles not showing on a Mirage 2000.
    * Fixed an issue where MiG-21-93 had ghost R-13 missile in loadout screen.
    * Fixed an issue with A-10 center hardpoint not showing both bombs loaded.
    * Fixed an issue with sandbag revetment causing damage to aircraft. Also fixed an issue to make the three-sandbag revetments usable next to depot at some airbases.
    * Fix the wingman facing your way at Seosan airbase, taking off in TAXI mode.

CAMPAIGN

    * Added EF-18G Growler to Tactical Engagement and Campaign for manual tasking.
    * For Korea: Iron Fortress, make Russia and China entering the war more probable.
    * Slight increase of aircraft per squadron count when each side enters the war, especially Russia and China in 2005+ campaigns.
    * Increase of manpads available in the SAM AD units.

COCKPIT

    * Fixed too large AOA bracket on Head Up Display.
    * Fixed jumping CCRP release cue in GMT radar mode.
          o Remark: the cue can still "jump" by a specific amount, as the cue shows a lead on moving vehicles - when they change heading, the cue "jumps".
    * Fixed position of RWR symbols in 3D cockpit.
    * Fix RWR contacs being displayed white in 3D cockpit when HSD is the SOI.
    * Correct HUD/MFD text alignment and position in 3d cockpit.
    * Adjusted Simple avionics HUD/MFD text position as well.
    * Fixed DED position in 3D cockpit.
    * Fix for the famous MARK point bug.
    * Display HUD numbers < 10 with a leading 0.

GRAPHICS

    * Enhanced night-lighting of airbases and a few other objects.
          o Fixed issue with runway and taxi-signs so they show at night.
          o Added point lighting to water tower and some bridges.
          o Raised visibility range for VASI lights at night.
          o Fixed some texture issues on hangars at night.
          o New nosewheel spotlight for F-16.
    * Fixed an issue with some small bridges disappearing after being destroyed.
    * Fixed some issues with runways and taxiways so they match better at all distances.

MULTIPLAYER

    * While waiting for others to join in Dogfight, a flashing "PLEASE WAIT" message will appear on screen.
          o When being the only one left in 3D world, a message saying so appears instead.
    * Send weather information now to other clients in dogfight games.

USER INTERFACE

    * Correct country flags in all modes and theaters.
          o Remark: for old campaign save files, NATO and SLOVENIAN flags may still show mixed up in the OOB window. This should not happen anymore for new campaign save files.

STABILITY

    * Workaround for Geforce 8800GTX hang in pie screen.

OTHER

    * Fix the need to hold down Shift+N (SimCursorEnable) to switch the AIM-120 avionics to BORE mode.
          o Using the keyboard, it is now a toggle function, with a mapping to the joystick, the joystick button still has to be held.
Life is what you make of it.

This is probably a stupid question. But... RedViper?  Is that an Addon to FreeFalcon?  I saw screen shots and thought it was OF at first.

Yes.
RV is kind of FF4.0 or else?
Very unstable. But so damn nice for the eyes, 8)

You are so right about this!
But our sqadron needs something everyone can get!
And AF is the only one on the market that is "newbie proof"  :roll:
very stable in multiplayer!
We were the sqadron to actually make the first 26 pilots in multiplayer with only one pilot losing the connection.
Hat's off to AF for this!

But OF is the way to go... if everyone can have it!

Hmmm, not sure where you have been though??  OF 4.4 has been released for a few weeks now.  And too be honest it is the most stable online flying I have EVER flown with any Falcon Flavour.  

We have absolutely no warping and jitters anymore.

And lets not forget we are using IVC (Internal Voice Comms) as well.  There is nothing greater than being able to use the UHF and VHF in the sim.  And with the latest Voice Server you can change the volumes of UHF and VHF while in flight.

AF removed IVCs instead of fixing the problem..  Big mistake IMO.  So now OF is using IVCs and having as stable or better than AF.

I have OF1.0-beta4.4.exe???
It is Open Falcon 4.4... you're talking about 3.4?

Maybe because mine is a Beta release???

Yes sorry OF 4.3 is the latest release of OF before they shut down.  Now a few guys have fixed a few things, and have a recent 4.4.  Either way it is an excellent stable Falcon version.

Hi AD,
It is kind of hard to find.  :x
Nobody can post direct link on any Forum!!!

Remember, the licence is for Lead Pursuit only.
Well... ATARI bought it, but that's another story. :roll: :lol:

They only thing I can say is "search engine" on internet and GOOD LUCK!!! :oops:

Not to be too picky, but is OF publicly available anymore? And who exactly owns the IP?

Now I'm no saint, but NO ONE should be chastised for buying, using and propagating the only publicly available legal version of falcon. Advocate any version of falcon you wish, but we as a builders community really should keep those comments as IMO or IMHO and not harp on someone who chooses some other flavor of falcon, especially the legal one.

Having said that give the pros and cons relate to your personal experiences with respect to any given version of falcon. That is to say butter us up and win us over with charm and an overwhelming array of goodness. Tell us how feature rich version A is over version B, but let?s keep it professional. Else we windup sounding like fanbioz! LOL

JMHO
