I have had to re-register again. Not sure why, perhaps I had a different name and have forgotten it or have lost the login details. Anyway, this is all interesting news. Thank you for picking this up again and thank you for your unflinching devotion to the game. For this version to be taken seriously again by server managers and mean this sincerely, ALL the bugs have to be eliminated from the basic part of the game.
I know it very well.
At Warbirds of Prey a considerable amount of testing was carried out in the background on a test server and passed to ZUTI. Not many people (if any) except for the admins new this.
I know this also, we were debugging MDS with WoP staff.
One of the main bugs that I was concerned with was an exploit that became the disappearing cheat. As a server manager I saw this being used regularly and that means on a daily basis, so I had to take action against individuals who used it. If you are not sure what I am talking about, we need to discuss behind close doors and I can give you the key presses that creates it when I have found the post on our admin forum. That is if I have not deleted it.
I'll pm you for details.
Also please be aware and I do not wish to be confrontational here. but you say...
Yes, the FMs will be the legendary ones from Kwiatek as they still are the most accurate for these planes
This is very subjective. There were many who had the opposing view. I do not wish to go any further on the subject and if you wish to discuss any more then we can talk behind closed doors.
Ok, we can do it,
PS. This has already been asked. Will you be using version 4.11.1 followed by 4.12 and so on for the basis of the game?
We wish you well with your later version of the game.
Kind regards
It depends what you define as "base" version. The new planes, cockpits, maps, weapons, flight models (for planes we don't have good FlightModels), etc.... will be compatible with 4.11.1m and 4.12m when comes out. That mean that when you switch to UP 3.1 from 4.11.1m you will have the same things i described above as in 4.11.1m . Besides in order to play UP 3.1 you HAVE to install 4.11.1m first.
Now regarding code-changes like the AI, or bomb-triggers or other possible Code changes well, for the time being UP 3.1 and IL2 4.11.1m will differ. But again, 4.11.1m does not have the MDS that UP has, No rearm, repair, respawn, no Re-fly restrictions, no Supply or other conditions, no Resource-Managements (all MDS Features), does not have AI triggers, does not have the above-mentioned Multiplayer functionality, does not have Plutonioum effects, does not have Tiger's Sound mod, does not have cockpit effects, does not have carrier take off mod, does not have.... <put more here as we will add more> .
I hope i have answered your questions. And the door for -co-operation is ALWAYS OPEN.
More in PM,
Kind regards,
