Dear friends,
During the weekend we were able to build and test 4.006c hotfix that addresses the problem of certain Direct 3D functionality support by the AMD graphics cards. This problem caused serious graphical corruption in our sim. In addition, it also fixes other bugs that have been found:
1. Graphics corruption on AMD cards has been fixed;
2. Hit effects (on the ground, water and buildings) are correctly recorded in game tracks;
3. Sun reflection off a sea water surface made more uniform;
4. The audibility of 7-8mm bullet hits on the own aircraft has been corrected;
5. The excessive audio volume on the water hits has been corrected;
6. Hit sounds were balanced by the volume and distance;
7. AI-controlled tanks use the ammo specified in a mission file;
8. An MG firing outside can be heard inside a tank;
9. Bf 110 stabilizer won't break off after rapidly pushing the controls in opposite directions (or joystick induced signal noise spikes);
10. Hits on Bf 109 tails produce correct visual hit effects;
11. 30 and 37 mm hits on non-metal aircraft parts produce correct visual hit effects;
12. Yak-9 and Yak-9T rear landing gear doors look correctly when damaged;
13. Photo in the cockpit corrected on Sopwith Camel and Pfalz D.IIIa;
14. Inscription “ФН” ("FN") on the La-5FN engine casing is no longer inverted;
15. La-5FN doesn't have a hole on the rotor head anymore;
16. Bf 109 F-2 gunsight won't be covered by spilled oil when the canopy is;
17. Bf 109 F-2 sun glare on instruments won't look too yellow;
18. A graphical artifact looking like a thin line above some tree crowns has been removed.
