Speaking only for myself, while some features, might need customizing, other do not.

I'd be reluctant to install one Fix-all, where all changes are initiated at once

The Kill Report being the best example: I like it just the way it is, others want it gone. Why should I lose a feature, that I enjoy, in order to please the X-Box crowd

6) Claims System Options

Issue:

Users do not want to file claims or want claims to be accepted more easily.

Temporary Workarounds:

None

Progress:

Options added in 1.2: Claims are linked to existing realism settings in Workshops:

Normal - as is in V1.0/V1.1 - NO CHANGE to claims system

Easy - Claims are evaluated more quickly and are more often accepted despite poor claim info.

Easiest - Claims are automatically filled in - player does not see claim form and all claims are accepted as confirmed kills 1 flight later.

Fixed and working in 1.2 - testing

Excellent Winder! I moaned a bit about my claims being rejected but that was just part of the immersion! I am 100% sure the REAL pilots of the time moaned about it too! It's good to offer choices, but I like it just the way it is.

Sounds like some good work to me-- thanks for the support.

6) Aircraft Exploding when exiting warp - only on some systems!!

Issue:

Craft ignore the CFS3 fingertip formation command and fly lineastern (line) and when in warp they merge. Craft will explode when exiting warp under this scenario.

Temporary Workarounds:

Avoid Warp until 1.2 is out - select an optional mission that is close to airfield to save time.

8) Inability to adjust spread of aircraft main and rear guns individually to players preference in workshops (Grouped to one control Selection in Workshops)

Issue:
If you select easy main guns rear gunners shoot you easily too as they are grouped from a Workshops selection POV despite being individual gun types with individual parameters in craft in sim.
Temporary Workarounds:
None
Progress:
Individual settings allocated in Workshops to control rear and main gun spread separately - depending on your role.

Fixed in 1.2 - testing

Sometimes bringing up the map during a mission will abort it. Player returns to duty room and nothing is recorded. Error message is see log.txt in campaign data for more details. Last error occurred during scramble with Lafayette Esc. Americaine.

Lower your sliders for terrain and scenery - sounds like GPU memory shortage.

Issues Being worked on Post 1.2 :Progress update: 15/2/09

1) MP mismatch error on Vista:

Issue:

The classic CFS3 MP mismatch error occurs on Vista deployments - PLEASE NOTE This is a CFS3 bug as experienced in vanilla CFS3 and hence CFS3 MP is no longer functional.....but for OFF I hope to have a fix soon!

In 1.2 MP connectivity issues were addressed.

Temporary Workarounds:

None that are easily accessible to users

Progress:

In Progress

In 1.2 MP connectivity issues were addressed.

Temporary Workarounds:

None that are easily accessible to users

Progress:

Coded - testing in progress


2) Log File text runs off of the bottom of the display with lengthy claim reports

Issue:

Lengthy claim reports cause text to scroll off of the bottom of the screen

Temporary Workarounds:

None.... other than type less! (but not for long)

Progress:

Fixed - testing in progress - Fix will not affect players existing campaigns when deployed and no data will be lost


3) Some early craft have mission altitudes set to high

Issue:

Some early craft sometimes have player mission altitudes set above the max ceiling that the craft can achieve.

Temporary Workarounds:

Set Player Flight Altitude in workshops to Medium or Low if in a campaign with early craft.

Progress:

4) Cannot Identify correct craft in Mission builder to use in mission

Issue:
Selecting the wrong craft in the MB (they all are called the same) renders in sim with no cockpit - i.e an AI craft

Temporary Workarounds:
Manually edit mission after building to ensure player flight use _sqd type craft (with pit)

Progress:
Fixed - Craft to be used in Mission builder that have a cockpit are now identified with a '*' after the name.
