Ground objects still pop in and out at unacceptably close distances.

I was able to track the gunner object the whole time, so it seems its some objects that pop in and out.

The bomb craters were odd, I will have to check on that - I don't recall seeing them pop in and out like that.

What's the other objects other than the bomb craters? I don't think I've seen those before.

La11, the inside graphic/object of the left wheel door - maybe right too - doesn't disappear/is still present when the gear door is shot away.

EDIT: Nevermind, the problem is the interior of the gear bay is not rendered when the gear door is shot away. 1st screenshot showing the gear bay rendered with the gear wheel covers still present.

Besides the craters, the artillery guns also disappear. This occurred in multiplayer on the Parallel 38 "LeftManu" mission.

Those are really big craters, far bigger than the 1000lb craters. Are those static objects added in? Also haven't seen those arty pieces. Seems like a lack of LOD for further distance for those, but wondering if these objects aren't native to the base game?

Those screenshots were definitely taken on a multiplayer server with mods disabled. They don't look like craters. The YouTube compression just makes the artillery pieces not visible at all😞 

[FuriousMeow]

I'm not sure then what's going on there. I just did a test run with 1k bombs and they produce much, much, smaller craters that blend in far better and have LODs so they fade and don't just poof out of and into existence.

I haven't seen those arty pieces in any missions so far. 

So seem like its some very specific objects that need to be looked at as nothing else I've seen in game generated missions does that.

Video Driver Crash twice in different missions. The computer does not crash but the monitor and VR headseet go black and the monitor says "Power Saving mode"

On both occassions it was right after the plane (Il-10 and F51) crashed and the big explosion with the dark smoke happens.

On both occassions it was half way through the explosion smoke animation, after the orange/red colors go away and the smoke turns fully black.

I just completed a task editor ground attack mission, in the IL-10 in which I was shot down and bailed out.  I watched my pilot parachute down to the ground, and as soon as he reached the ground the game crashed to desktop.

We can ask @LuftManu what objects did he put in second phase (after bridges )in old (EA) Parallel 38 PVE mission there? 

[LuftManu]

Hello! 

@FuriousMeow and @Husar.

Those are AAA gun trenches, so I bet they can be seen from really far away! They are under the "Grounds" category in the editor.
As for dissapearing guns, I have a trigger that enables them if you get closer. This might be it! 

Those are huge craters and you could see them far away. This could lead to see the positions really from a long distance and see how the guns appeaar 🙂

Do you happen to still have the _gen.mission file?

A strange mission with a huge number of downed enemy planes.
Not a single bomber was shot down, but the mission was described as a success. How realistic is this?

I think that the file was overwritten.  : (

Okay, if you see it happen again, just upload it here and I'll forward it to the team.

Crashed planes leave behind a crash pile, but no smoke or anything else.

When the Yak9P upper cowling is shot away can randomly see through the right or left side to the ground or sky - whatever is on the other side. On one Yak the upper cowling was shot away and the left side could be seen through - on the bottom the right side wheel cover was shot away as well.

Another Yak the upper cowling was shot away and the right side could be seen through, but there was nothing shot away from the bottom.

Hi, I’ve encountered a bug in career mode, when in a mission without commander, just watching the events, right after passing checkpoint #1, the screen shows „insuficient fuel, returning to base”. This happens even though the F-84Es I’m flying (might be also other planes, not quite sure) have 100% fuel in both external and internal fuel tanks. It didn’t happen earlier, so I think it is something in the new release patch. Thanks 🙂

Time skip doesn't work properly when your plane is damaged. On the 4th mission of the F-86 exam my engine was completely destroyed. Unable to turn it on again (I tried several times). But I managed to keep the energy and get close to the B-29s. Then the message appeared to make the time skip and I arrived at the airfield. That should not be possible. Time skip should take into account if the plane is damaged, specially the engine, to calculate if you can make it back home or not.

La-11 has an incorrect predefined position of the side (exit) cowlings. They should be closed instead of open when the engine is off and in my opinion, after time skip or in runway/air start. It doesn't have sense that they are opened 100% and with the engine too cold.

Happens the same with water radiator cowl flaps after time skip or starting in the air or with engine on. They are opened 100% and I think they should be at 50% maximum (of course it depends on conditions).

Version 1.003

Mission 2 of the campaign. "Hunting the enemy"

After attacking the trains a spend all ammo, AI planes of my flight land in an enemy airfield. Enemy airfield has static planes and destroyed planes in the same location.

Mission 3

Mixed US an North Korean units in the targetzone. Recieve many friendly fire messages after dropping napalm on them. I think it is an allied convoy, and probably the studebakers represent south korean army, but perhaps would be better to use only US units to not generate confusion?

In my F-86 career the plane is at low altitude and diving towards ground after using fast travel to return to home airfield. It doesn't happen every time.

[Redeye]

I had a unplanned mission escorting/defending US C47's. I was flying with 39FIS with F-51's. After taking off I Fast travelled to the location of the Dakota's. Before I got in range the transports were already under attack by Yak9's. There really wasn't a change at all to protect them. I just managed to catch the last Yak. All the C47's were shot down.

First bug is for me that the enemy showed up before I got there. Doesn't make for an interesting mission.

Second bug even thoug all the transports were shot down the mission was still a succes. 

Mission attached.
