Initial 1.16 impressions.

Didnt play much last night , sick as a dog right now. However I played around with 1.16 a bit.

- First off, the new ingame map ROCKS. rocksrocksrocks. No more getting lost while flying , you can zoom out till you see 20+ towns on the map. No more looking for which depot is spawnable, you can zoom in till you see all depots and names. Basically its a bloody useful tool now. Only real complaint is the whole switching to it/ctrl-c thing. Though this seems to be a problem only the first time you switch to it.
And rickB said they wouldnt let him turn on grid and contours for this patch !!!!!!! woot. contours will be nice, hopefully ppl might play a little more tactically. Though the damn fields of Flanders are flatter than roadkill.

The bridge objective icons and .ob are a bit confusing, will need to look into that. CRS REALLY needs to post up legends explanations of what it all is BEFORE the patch comes out. Duh. Didnt see any blown bridges.

New buildings look nice, will have to adjust to the flag building looking completely different.

Had a few fps hits while flying and fooling around with the map but apart from that FPS seemed to be better.


Oh yeah and with no RDP Im back to flying hawks , 1 109 1 stuka and 1 110 damaged...waaah I miss my Dewo 20mm loving.
