Hey guys!
Aren’t you all enjoying 4.34? I had my first MP flight today, so much to learn, re-learn, tactics to adapt, new situations to confront. And it feels so good!
I’ve already been asked if my “Lorik’s” theater mods are compatible with 4.34 or not; I thought it would deserve an answer, especially when Balkans is already out.
1. 4.34 has so much to be discovered for a 4.33 user. The best way to do it is to use what the devs prepared for us, aka KTO. Go fly your first “old” campaign flight, insert on the ground traffic, appreciate the new AI air-to-air behavior, the new SAM behavior, insert into recovery traffic. You’ll struggle and will probably realize you want to make things as simple as they can be, to start with. Moreover, KTO is, to my knowledge, the only theater proposing a full ATC experience at the moment. It contains so many improvements in .34, that wouldn’t want to miss them.
2. When I started to play with Mission Commander and created news campaigns, I quickly started to try to fill areas of air combat I couldn’t find as much as I wanted in other campaigns I had flied. With 4.34, we have new logics for a lot of stuff in many areas, a very serious challenge in the new campaigns. Converting from .33 versions is certainly possible, maybe just to an extent. I will try to see how I end up with, especially with the Korean mod. But I’m certain .34 will drive me to new ideas that could be more interesting to just converting my thoughts about 4.33 into 4.34. To my own surprise, some of them aren’t really relevant any more in this environment. Did you try to bug a SA-14 launcher in the fog? They’ll have a harder time than ever. 😉
For now, of course, the mods aren’t compatible with 4.34. If they ever become so, it will be showing here in an obvious way.
But, for what I can say now, if there is really something interesting to be done, it could as well be Lorik’s Something 2.0.
Bottom line, I’m flattered to be asked this question. I’ll answer by saying that 4.34 has way too much to offer at the moment to worry about any mod I could propose 😉
Have a Falcon Week!
