3.0 ... my take so far..

[Bearcat]

Well the install was a piece of cake.. I just deleted my 2.0 that was still on my drive,  coped my stock 4.10.1 from D to C and it went in smooth. I have to say the new look is nice.. and the sim looks good..  The P-51 seems to me to be a lot smoother.. A LOT smoother.. handling wise. The new P-51 cockpit is interesting.. it will take a little getting  used to, the new lights and the look of glass on the gauges.. but it looks good.  The cockpit lights aren't as bright.. I like the fact that that solitary pipper is gone when cycling through the K-14 sights.. If you recall in one mod pack.. I don't recall which one it started in but in HSFX 5.0 the stationary dot at the center of the Mustang pipper stays when cycling through the K-14 sights very annoying..  I think the sim overall looks better with 3.0.. (but for some reason UP usually does..) I did notice a bug on the 109s.




For some reason there is a smoke trail on the 109s.. and those are AI 109s so it isnt a mixture issue.. but that's what it looks like. almost.. but the lines are too defined to be mixture.

The jury is still out on the guns.. I need to fly it more before I make any assessments of that.. the same with performance, but so far overall it isnt bad..  The interface is totally different.. so is the GME..

Thanks for the effort guys.

BTW that was a G-10.. I havent seen it on any other 109s so far..

Most 109s go smokey over 105%.

Gotta love those redtails hehe. You got a skin for that plane there bearcat? Oh, I will be giving a sitrep on 3.0 in a few mins guys. thanks.

I had the same problem with the SAS Modact 3.0, installed the online button and fixed it.  Actually, I wasn't seeing the smoke, but everyone else was.  Not sure if it applies here, but with the twin smoke trails makes me think it might be related.

That is an AI plane .. that's why I thought it was a bug.. and look at the lines.. they don't look very smoke like..

@Chaney.. sure do.. that's my skin.. The one I have been using since.. the first Mustang came to FB.. the number and the noseart are original not historic.

Nice...where can I find that puppy? hehe.

I got UP3.0 loaded and everythign seemed ok until I installed Tiger Sound Mod i think. I used SAS buttons because I use a game install for SAS and one for warbirds of prey server. The game loads all the way and then I click into QMB and hit fly and wait like 5 secs and QtD. Annoying but I'm thinking it is the sound settings in the il2set.exe. Trying to tweak them a lil to see what gives but would love some pointers or if anyone is having the same issue.

how do you add the 4.10m and the 4.101 to a clean copy that is patched up to 4.09m with NO up 2.0 or 2.01

You can't unless you lift it from your cache.. but remember.. that is my personal skin... If you want some historic Redtail skins you can grab some from our old site.

Just go to the DL page.. I am in the process of moving that site, changing webhosts.. I found a great FREE webhost so I will be moving most of this over to there including the skins and perhaps updating some of them..  but this site will be up until the middle of June so feel free to get any of the skins on there. Some are generic and some are historic.

Went smooth for me too..  Love the fast load. I would setup JGMSE to default to UP3.0 so that on the initial install you don't have to set anything, but thats just me.

I noticed:
> In widescreen, the mission screen buttons are scattered around (not a biggie)
> Rockets are the "old/easy" ones not the newer more realistic flying ones (easier if not as realistic)
> Not sure how to get back my HUD mod - I don't want to see ANY HUD messages. All are supressed except one in the lower left of the screen
> Surprised the Carrier crew mod not included
> Surprised the Bomber crew mod not included
> Surprised Fly_Zo's nice F6F cockpits not included
