Due to the recent flurry of activity with the new Flight models and the upcoming S3, the FM team has made changes to the P-38G and Ki-61s.

The Update will be out sometime today and the FM changes will reflect weight increase to P-38 and flap/induced drag decrease to Ki-61s.

Good work by Robert to discover the difference in the details of the test report which the 38G was built to (missing 2 guns and quite a bit of ammo) and the weight has been added back in to the G and the F model 38s.

KI-61s flap notches 3 and 4 and have been corrected, and the induced drag was lowered to help with E-bleed, climb performance, and speed.

Hope to see everyone in the S3!

S3 Arena as of noon, left coast, requires a 1.4 MB UPDATE. It contains only one listed file, which does not appear to be associated with either the Ki-61 or the P-38. Should S3 pilots anticipate yet another UPDATE to this UPDATE?


Happy trails...

Stop trying to outsmart yourself.

FM changes aren't in plane specific files. They are in one file.

When you log into an arena it tells you which FM version you are using. Just scroll up.

If you see "Using fl1038" you are on the absolutely latest and greatest advanced flight model version. This is only applicable in the advanced FM arenas.

The Main Arena uses a totally different FM version and thus you don't see which FM version you are on when you log in.

I don't know of any more updates prior to Frame 1 but if someone discovers the P38G has AN/APG-82 on board we may have a panic update about 5 PM Sunday.

Not too concerned about the AN/APG, its the GAU-8 that y'all are piss-toting that has me worried.
