[Installer] Launcher does not automatically start after installation even though "Launch Configuration Uti..." is ticked.➡️
A question came up while reading the changelog: Do you want to see suggestions concerning the installer?
Don't let me stop you. 😊
[Installer] Launcher does not automatically start after installation even though "Launch Configuration Uti..." is ticked.Well, now installation is finished I have noticed... I don't have that box. 😉

Meaning that the new installer works as designed. 😊
Nice, I hope I can get back into testing tonight/tomorrow.
Anything in particular we should look out for in this beta? Any idea how close we might be to a release candidate/release?

The usual shebang. 😊

That is pretty easy: we have made 13 out of 50 missions available for testing. That might not sound like much but at the same tme weh have most of our models covered. Testing and fixing models took a lot of our time over the past several weeks.
installer works great!!!! Hard to test flight with broken hand but the game is really starting to come tgether well from all the angles. the interface and graphics sequences are really starting to look and act impressively. wil keep trying to fly some missione with y'all.......later
Try flying with a gamepad. Might work better with a broken hand.
What I also like about this installer is that it doesn't eat up space for temporary files anymore. It really helped for the Computer I'm sitting at for the next 2 months.
I had no problem with the installer and the resulting game looks great. A couple of things I'm trying to track down to see if they are bugs or just my system: the calibration on the joy stick goes out periodically, causing the fighter to drift, after a couple of nav points it seems to correct itself. A couple of the briefing cutscenes for the Proxima campaign seemed to jump (a bit jagged) a little bit, I need to disable some of my background programs and see if that helps. All in all, very impressive.
The calibration isn't done by the game. It simply assumes a correctly calibrated joystick so make sure you calibrate it in the windows controls properties before starting the game.
The cutscene stuttering is an engine problem and is being worked on. Our video player is not really well designed. We have HCl working on it. Anyone in the community should know what that means 😉
Oh ^^ HCI is a freak 😁 The Videos will run. That is sure 😁
Well, well. You got VIPs to work for you? Nice 😊
