- Fuel consumption penalty at higher speeds for ships
- Some lighting adjustments
- Database restructured to break out generics table into separate tables. Also added new fields for some new features. Ported old database but needs testing!
- Added takeoff weight limit. AI fixes to pick better loadouts need work.
- New sonar detection and IR signature params
- Added thermocline to sonar detection
- Fixed bombing bug that caused game to not recognize bombs correctly (Raven)
- G-limit for turns now works for aircraft
- Replaced induced drag model for jets with model using IAS cruise speed
- Fixed visual detection to correctly perform ID at close ranges (SSN21)
- Added Ryan's AIM-9 and GulfKnight A-7 models

- New database option to support loading only records needed for scenario (disabled by default, edit xml/options.xml to enable)
- Added ? and * wildcard character support for launcher item names. E.g. AIM-9* would allow any AIM-9 variant. Not sure how useful this will be, but it is helpful for test.
- Flight ops gui updated to handle larger numbers of aircraft (21-80) on CV or airbase. Previously the window used to overflow with lots of useless boxes.
- Added paging feature to stores gui to allow more than 16 items to be used.
- Added night penalty to visual detection

http://www.gcblue.com/files/install_..._20061201b.exe ("optimized version")

- Fixes for helo dipping sonar (thanks to imagecontrol for pointing out)
- Many multiplayer stability improvements
- Added carrier group multiplayer scenario

[Dust]

http://www.gcblue.com/files/install_...v_20061218.exe

- Added Guido's Nimitz CVN model
- New submodel support for 3d xml file. You can now load multiple mesh files using a line like
Code:
<Submodel File="688.ive" X="0" Y="0" Z="20.0" Roll="30" Pitch="0" Yaw="90"/>
which would place a rotated 688 model on top of the main model

- New ray tracing sonar propagation model for realistic layer, shadowing, convergence zones, and all that good stuff. It doesn't have an interface to set SVP and reflection losses in scenario file yet. Can be switched on/off dynamically in options screen.
- Better ambient noise calculation for sonar. Scenario command to set sea state still needs to be added.
- CAP station displayed on map and can be dragged to reposition or deleted to cancel mission
- Start of strike/attack mission added to auto missions.
- Attempted to fix bug that caused crash when invalid script command issued to missile
- Added Mnfe's group menu scripts
- Double click in unit summary window (upper left) now acts same as double clicking in map
- Added new database fields for country, initial year, final year, designation

Do you guys support ATi cards?

I installed it and when I ran it got a message saying it couldn't find a suitable 3d driver so went with default MS one.

Seriously guys if every other game or sim I have can find the right drivers why can't yours? I run an ATi X300 SE with 128MB of RAM....

ATi driver is the latest version and my OS is most up to date.
Graphics in the preview stutter along...disappointed.

Driver version is 6.14.10.6467

it does, seems you are the only one with this problem.

sorry that you missed our last thread where we already tried to find a solution for your problem http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=94080

hope you are now interested to find out why it happens.

[XabbaRus]

But am I the only one getting that message?

Also I wouls tell you if the 3d graphics ran quickly in the scenario but GCBlue has crashed for the second time

AppName: gcblue.exe AppVer: 0.8.3.1 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 00000000

Is my crash log. My disc is defraggd fine, I have unloaded everything I can. The interface responds slowly like I went into setup and when I click to change an option it takes 5 seconds at least for the box to turn green.

Are you trying to tell me that vessels in the preview are supposed to turn so slowly that it is about 1 degree of turn every 5 seconds.?

I am surprised that I can run IL-2 FB at full pest with no issues but nothing for this works.

[XabbaRus]

AppName: gcblue.exe AppVer: 0.8.3.1 ModName: unknown

[Dust]

my first guess is that the opengl driver isnt installed properly. i think you run normaly your games with directx.


http://glew.sourceforge.net/

it tests the support of opengl

in glew\bin are the test exe files. it writes in the same folder the result as txt.

please post the results

[XabbaRus]

Here is teh file
download and change the extension for glewinfo.txt to .rar

So how can I fix it as all my video drivers are up to date and other things work well when I select openGL.
