As promised, here is a list of the majority of v1.02 changes to date (07 Feb). Note that the list below is simply from the first version of the patch we got this week; it is not final and newer versions will add additional changes. Please hold off on "what about XXXX bug?" type questions.

 

A key point to remember too: A patch is to fix actual bugs, NOT add new features.

- Restored mouse zoom limits in the cockpit.

 

- Mouse view option removed from cockpit options and moved to difficulty options.

 

- The names for all Russian air-to-ground weapons are now visible on the Russian HUDs when in Russian HUD mode.

hmm.. no sound fix yet.

 

No optimisations in mission editor, interface, or graphics.

 

 

A couple of comments on the news. I don't know if they will or won't be addressed. There is no list of known issues as has been requested by some on the Ubi forum. No official laundry list of items (that once addressed can be checked off) available to the public. I would like to believe that one exsists, but that (I hope) isn't just me. The list is not a final one as stated by Wags. Just keeping my fingers crossed and eyes open for future updates.
