in addition to the above, a number of different changes to some existing ETO aircraft, including, but not limited to sounds, loadouts, textures and effects have been made.
Guns & Weapons
Many of the weapons have had there textures revised, to fix misaligned textures, missing textures or low quality textures.
Known issues.
Multiplayer:
MISSMATCHING AIRCRAFT
Bostons, A20’s, and Whitleys are known to cause mismatch errors.
VISUAL ANOMALIES
The flaps, landing gear do not show on several aircraft. This is a glitch with the actual models and can not be rectified.
WEAPONS NOT WORKING:
external ordinance such as cannons on the night fighters does not always work, they appear in game but don’t fire. In most cases testers reported it did not function at all, but in one MP game I witnessed it working. This will be investigated further.
Bombs and rockets all seem to function as they should, it seems to be limited to cannon loadouts.
Single play mode:
COCKPIT NOTES:
A lot of the planes have misaligned gunsights, this is how they are supposed to be. If you find yourself in a plane and your tracer is misaligned with the gunsight, hit F6 to bring up the gunsight view, then when your finished flying hit F6 again to take you back to your normal view.
The Do217 has a rocket, to aim this rocket hit F7 line up on your target, then hit F6 to go back to the pilot seat and fire your weapon.
WEAPONS PYLONS:
Several aircraft have weapons loadouts but no pylons to hang them from, this means the weapon is not visible from the outside view until fired.
With the night fighter aircraft that employ upward firing cannon, you will need to configure your firing buttons to have one that only fires machine guns and another that fires only cannon. This is the only way you can get the upward firing guns to fire independently of the other guns.
IMPORTANT WEAPONS NOTICE:
DO NOT install the AvHistory weapons pack into your ETO install, if you do this you will overwrite a lot of the new textures. Your ETO install has all of the AvHistory weapons included along with many individual weapons created for specific aircraft.
We hope you enjoy this selection of aircraft in the ETO 1.20 update.
