EECH 1.11.1 released
Tuesday, March 24th, 2009Enemy Engaged Comanche vs. Hokum – has a new bugfix release for the 1.11 version. This includes a fix for the “white flashes” that some people were getting with some newer video cards.
Changes:
- Fix for zbuffers in dx9. Fixes problem with newer ATI and NVidia cards. Also fixes white flashes for some (fix by Bodhammer)
- Added cockpit vibration when g-force_head_movement enabled (ataribaby)
- Added option for muting external sounds in map view (ataribaby)
- Added co-pilot speech for when he has identified a target(ataribaby)
- Improvement to altitude hold and enable it for all helicopters (ataribaby)
- Changed colour of smoke grenades from purple to white
- Improvement to AI helicopter movement. Will not slow down before each waypoint, and will fly slower over airbase.
- Changed so that 3dreset=1 in eech.ini or on the command line will force EECH to recheck which resolutions the graphics card supports. Use this if EECH doesn’t offer resolutions you want to use and know your graphics card and monitor supports.
- Added command line option to force screen resolution even if the graphics doesn’t list it to EECH as one of the resolutions it supports. See the FAQ for how to use this.
- Fix for gear automatically extending/retracting for player helicopter in insertion missions (ataribaby)
- Fixed bug in Apache where selected target didn’t show up on radar
