+Gr.Viper Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Same thing - those sounds are gone. Drop a line to TK, so that he doesn't forget it among other bugs I miss F-8 wing gymnastics hum. Quote
FalconC45 Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 I've had no CTDs so far. The P-51 seems underpowered to me, I had trouble hitting 250mph and was regularly flying under 200mph at full throttle! I agree. I couldn't get the 51D to go at 400+ knots even in a shallow dive at full power. Did TK put WEP (War Emergency Power) in the 51D? Falcon Quote
James Fox Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 (edited) I have found no real problems running new expansion. Found I too could not hear 50 cals, found no 50cal sound file in sound folder so I just added one and now I have the nosie you want to hear even with motor at full power. I have not noticed any other missing sound yet, if I do I check out the Sound folder first, sometimes they are not there. James Edited May 13, 2010 by James Fox Quote

Falcon What do you mean even in a dive? P-51D had a maximum speed of 380knots and that was at 8km. Maybe you are comparing it to the "H"? That was the only version that fast(also at alt). I got 580kmh on the deck which is pretty much in line with historic data, didn't try to run it at altituded but in a dive I went well over 800kmh. It's just a bit too hard to stall and has a VERY generous turning ability. So far the best FM for P-51D I saw was AVHistory FM... Quote
+guyran Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Since the Mar2010 patch and now with the new Suez Crisis, looks like TW lacks good beta testers. I'm sure some of the veterans modders here in CA, could help TK in order to prevent such bugs. Quote

+guyran Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 He had good beta testers but dissolved the team for some reason. I guessed so, by the two latest releases by TW. By this he is cutting the tree... I hope TK will have conclusions from this, and save us the bugs in the future. Quote
+streakeagle Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 I think beta testing was taken out because despite all the beta testing, some major bugs were missed and still required more patching after release. So instead of a handful of fans getting an early release to critique, everyone gets to beta test. I actually like it better this way since it means a lot more eyes finding a lot more bugs so TK can spend a lot less time by releasing fewer, but more comprehensive patches. Quote
+suhsjake Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Please post all bug related data @ TW Forums Bug Thread @ TW http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=7610 If you have Freeze/CTD after ending the mission, please post here. http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=7613 Quote

I always had problems of converting knots into miles per hour. Falcon Quote
+FastCargo Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 My mind was asleep last night. Sorry about that. I always had problems of converting knots into miles per hour. Falcon No worries...but I'll tell ya, I never think in MPH when it comes to aircraft. Knots and NM are just so much easier to use because the math is much simpler, especially when you throw angles into the mix. FC Quote
+Gr.Viper Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 I've taken P-51D into a 1000km/h dive. Boy, does the elevator authority suffer at this speed. Quote
+FastCargo Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 I've taken P-51D into a 1000km/h dive. Boy, does the elevator authority suffer at this speed. I'd hope so! You're about .9 Mach at that point...a lot of the airframe would already be supersonic! Mach tuck anyone? FC Quote

I actually like it better this way since it means a lot more eyes finding a lot more bugs so TK can spend a lot less time by releasing fewer, but more comprehensive patches. No beta testers works really well for those of us here at CA, but someone new to the series might download from the TW site and get turned off by the bugs. Sure if they come here and drink from our cool-aid, they'll see the benefit of waiting for a patch and buy the entire series, but if they don't they might right it off as a buggy, incomplete product. Regarding the new Exp Pack - I think the TW series, with this expansion pack, has finally surpassed the capabilities of my laptop. The screens lately have been AMAZING, but I just can't get the same results. I don't see a new laptop in the near future, but maybe I can conjure up an excuse... Keep up the good work TK! Quote

It just that in other sims I could push the 51D to go to 400 knots if necessary (with WEP boost). Falcon Quote
