Recurring issue where the view from cockpit suddenly zooms in on its own. Reported by several squadron nembers.  Effects multiple players at the same time. Has happened multiple times in the past 4 months on FC multiplayer server Flugpark.  Sorry no track files.

Senard aerodrome, Western Front, when on the ground the wheel/tail skid decals don't retain or have a long duration. The tire lines on the terrain extend a little behind the tail and the tail skid doesn't leave any mark. Behaved appropriately at nearby fields.

Don't know if this was ever fixed, or if it cropped up again.  Nieuport 17 rigging lines missing from cockpit (from original post a few years ago):

From just now:

Just a minor detail in the FW 190 A6. The tecnochat message for the volume of the radio doesn't appear. The control of the volume in the cockpit is animated correctly.

I have noticed that tactical number (or letter) of FW-190 A5 will disappear after it is hit. I saw that happen twice. Not sure if other FWs are affected as well...

The artificial horizon or attitude indicator in the P51D-15 mustang in Bodenplate is missing the top white notch or line indicating the datum for bank. Normally you align the missing top white line with one of the fixed ones to adjust for different bank angles. It is correctly represented in Normandy expansion in the P51B

That is probably because the damage modelling doesn't support the lettering.

[Kubert]

I think it does. Other planes can have bullet holes in the numbers, or part of a number missing due to canon hit. There must be something wrong specifically with FWs. I've spent a lot of time doing pictures  and FW is only plane I noticed tactical code to disappear. 🤔

Bf 109 G-6/AS spinning prop effect texture has weird artifacts. Generally it doesn't look on pair with other late 109s.

From the cockpit view:

External view low RPM:

High RPM:

From the side:

From the side slightly titlted:

The issue is independent from the default in-game livery used.
It's easiest to notice when sun light shines at the angle of 30-45 degrees to the spinning propeller texture.

The Normandy map doesn't run as smoothly as the others I have, Bodenplatte, Kuban, and Stalingrad. This topic has certainly been addressed before, but I haven't been able to find much information about it. I only use Quick Start to familiarize myself with the planes, and I usually create my missions with the Editor to avoid excessive AI traffic. It's a great game, you guys take it seriously.

1. Gauges and indicators are still low quality (resolution) in Sopwith planes such as Pup and Snipe. You have already made high quality gauges for Sopwith Triplane or Camel. Maybe just exchange low resolution gauges with updated one?

2. Sopwith Pup, Strutter, Camel - they have low-poly, low quality machine gun (Vickers) model. You have already made high quality Vickers MG for planes like Nieuport 17 or SPAD VII. Maybe just exchange low poly models with updated one?

3. Destroyed balloons fall to the ground almost with very low speed - almost the same speed like their crew on parachutes. TRK file here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lpPBt53PxuddXB8Z9905yffX3dFTPwds/view?usp=sharing

A-20 outlet cowl shutters handle animation is crossed for the left (first) and second (right) engines. When you open or close the first engine handle it moves the second engine handle and viceversa.
