November 7, 20196 yr comment_53877 (Full update text here.) Specifically as far as Flying Circus is concerned: Quote "Flying Circus - Volume 1 is now available in its fully planned state and all the remaining ground-based equipment of the First World War have been added in our new standard of visual quality. Observation balloons with observers who may leap from their post when under attack are also included now. A number of improvements were also made on the map, primarily to the front line. We hope that users who purchase this project will like the step forward in comparison with our previous title Rise of Flight, especially in the visual quality of aircraft and the environment that we, together with our partner Yugra Media, have created for you. Although the flight models generally correspond to the ones from Rise of Flight, many of the improvements that have been made over the past 7 years for Il-2 Sturmovik play a role in Flying Circus as well. Such improvements automatically benefit all projects within the framework of our one common game world and give a new, previously unavailable experience of virtual flight and combat in the First World War. All these new opportunities unfold in their fullest when playing with the use of virtual reality devices. FC includes so many new things - new landscape technology, new lighting and clouds, better sound, new AI and improved ballistics, new graphic effects and new materials for aircraft surfaces, new detailing of textures and models - all this and much more gives the virtual pilots of the First World War something that is not available anywhere else. We hope to make more Flying Circus volumes in the future and we thank those who have jumped into this new product so far!" Here's a list of the included WW1 assets: Quote 7.7 cm FK 96 n.A QF 4.5-inch howitzer 15 cm sFH 13 howitzer QF 13 pounder 6 cwt AAA gun 7.7 cm FlaK L/27 AAA gun Hotchkiss Mle 14 regular and AA machineguns Spandau MG 08 regular and AA machineguns Great War searchlights Thornycroft J-type self-propelled AA gun Daimler M1914 armored self-propelled AA gun Benz LKW 1912 truck Leyland 3 Ton RAF truck Crossley T5 command vehicle Mercedes Kettenwagen 22 command vehicle Can't wait to get home and download it! 😃 Report
