How can i comment when its not out till tomorrow?

1.42 is basically 1.30 with updates. No new bugs.

Dont know if its the 1.42 upgrade or if it was already with 1.40.................. but the A-10 doesnt drop bombs on lasered targets.

I tried at least 20 times putting the a10 in respective distance `actually it was the other end of the desert map´, waypoints plotted that it flew directly over the target T80. I lasered the target immediately after the mision started, but everytime no bombs are dropped by the a10 instead it retracts flaps and goes low over the target.

Anyone else with this prob?

[FetishFool 0]

The A10 will not drop any bombs unless there is a 99% chance of a direct hit.

This means that the A10 will do pass after pass after pass until it gets that 99%.

Otherwise, it will use it's 30mm machine gun, instead.

This is for when the A10 is NOT in your squad.

If it's in your squad, then you don't even need to use the laser targetter.

I tried 20 times without the A10 dropping bombs, the approach via waypoints i made was straight, 200ft high with plenty of time for the pilot to aim and set the plane up properly ..............and he was not able to release a single bomb...pretty much useless i´d say.

maybe the pilot has forgotten to load up the receiving device for the laser beam

Correction: not 200ft but 150ft.

maby its karma.. it was stupid to give any plane OFP LGB's much less the A-10 which IRL would NEVER EVER use them.

Is it any point in downloading it if you don't play mp games?

Are there any fixes in this patch worth considering?

Ps! I'd like a patch that can fix the problem of never ending story in convoy mission!!!!  

Pluss more single missions!

I still get "Oh no nr 2 is down" repeated until my mental sanity is on the edge. This was supposed to be fixed in 1.42 but isnt.

In the first campaign, the mission called "Guardian"? lol

It's not fun...

[FetishFool 0]

No, he means the CO1Convoy mission.

I think this mission is the reason BIS stopped encrypting their missions. There's a problem with one of the triggers. It says "Player == Boat", it's supposed to say "Player in Boat".

It makes sense when you consider that english isn't BIS's first language.

And there's another bug, too. They won't always tell you to run away after you defeat the soviet attack. I have no idea what causes this problem.

Mmmh, i think the altitude is calculated in meters and not in feet

By the way, the 1.42 patch also fixes or rather blocks the use of the well-known MP cheats that were discussed lately

[MamiyaOtaru 1]

Haven't tried it yet, so I must ask, have they fixed it yet so that AI can actually board boats again?

If so, that would make it worth it to me for sure to go from 1.4 to 1.42 I would just stick with 1.3 rather than 1.4*, but I enjoy the friendly fire fix too much.

[FetishFool 0]

Yes, AI can board boats now.

Well, I was waiting for the fix of the "repeating-bug" and I was very glad when I saw that they adressed this issue in the info for the new patch.

I´m not that happy right now....it´s not gone...AND I HATE THAT PARTICULAR BUG!!! *ripping shreds of hair*

Ok....I´m cool again...BIS will get the ´lil sucker in the next patch ....i hope...for my hair sake....

You got to make sure that the server you're playing on is running v1.42

People with v1.42 on their computer can still play on v.1.40 and v1.41 servers oddly.

I've spent two days trying to download the patch, unsuccesfully. Apart from the BI site and 3D Gamers, do you know another mirror for the download?

Yup,

this Bug is REALLY annoying!

Yesterday I wanted to show a friend "a great game", he was really impressed then my team mate died and it started, he looked at me: What's going on?

So, what could I say???

Hope it gets solved soon...

Owowow, I discovered a new bug (again?)

AI can't fire if is behind a fencewood...(use setUnitPos "UP"), AI can only target enemy if medium/long distance. If ennemy is close, AI can throw a grenade.

why I patched 1.42 ?! @¤%* !!

okok keep cool, what's about a new topic for list bug ? May this will help for futur patch ?

[Gorgi Knootewoot 0]

a lot of bugs dissapear thanks to these new patches. What i would like too see in a patch is that when i light campfire, that other players also see this. This isn't happening, also when i turn on lights of a car other players do not experience this. Now when deathmatching with my brother, i light the campfire and on his computer it is still off. But he can light it, but it is a bit silly.
