This patch contains major underlying changes to the damage system to alleviate frame rate issues when taking damage. A new olive skin has been added and the patch also contains a number of other fixes.
Features
- Olive skin- There's been some deep changes to the way that damage changes skin textures, rewriting the system to work on hardware. This should alleviate frame drops when there is a lot of damage happening to multiple B17s
- Rationalisation of fighter attack waves
Fixes
- There's a fix for sliding targets while looking through the Norden Bombsight- There's been a fix for joysticks with throttle and rotational control to allow these to be bound
Tondelayo
B17 42-29896, 'Tondelayo', was named after a Hedy Lamarr movie. It was hit by multiple 20mm shells during a raid over Kassel, including several incendiary shells to the fuel tanks, but failed to ignite. When the shells were later analysed they were all found to be empty, except for one, which had a carefully rolled piece of paper, with a note written in Czech by a laborer forced to work for the Nazis 'This is all we can do for you now'
