Oh I remember that mod! I tried using it and 476th’s FCLP landing box to do FCLP stuff. The IFLOLS absolutely murdered framerates, and the FCLP landing box never really worked because so many runways are sloped–making the box disappear–and so many runways are angled in fractions of degrees while the ME only allows us to rotate objects in whole degrees.

Same here; used a flat stretch on Creech AB (got lucky I guess) so that wasn’t an issue but the IFLOLS “just sat there” (no response). May be missing something else, Lua perhaps?

I think it may have broken in one of the later versions.
Maybe for vertical landing practice? Something like in MCAS Hawaii

Nice find there!
So is tomorrow the big day then?

No today is apparently 
Will you all be clearing Fxo and metashaders caches before installation or after. As an aside my fibre to premises went down yesterday. Aha I still have my old broadband subscription 30mb will be fine. Doh it’s down too. Obviously my wife’s work and a very important interview are suffering but the thought of not getting 2.7 at the same time as the masses is galling 
It doesn’t matter.

Nice post!
Didn’t know what you meant. Then I watched (how’d I miss this one, though it does look familiar?). Gonna be a lot of ‘those guy’s’ soon…just hope it’s not a power point version on my end.

Known Issues
- VR users may see some vertical ‘jittering’ when looking at distant clouds - This is a priority issue, and we are currently working to resolve it.
- There are Anti-aliasing artefacts visible under some conditions when clouds are low on the horizon
- The lighting effects on the clouds, especially when the sun is low on the horizon is still very much a WIP, and will be improved.
- Currently as part of the initial release, clouds do not affect LOS for the AI.
- The legacy fog effects are not suitable for use with the new clouds - a new fog layer using the new technology will follow.
- Thunderstorms and lightning effects will follow in future updates.
- Using SLAM/AGM-65E alongside targeting pod can in some circumstances result in some ground units becoming semi-transparent to the targeting pod. This is currently a priority item to resolve.
- We have greatly improved many of the visual effects, and some tuning of brightness still remains to be completed.
- Night vision goggles do not provide sufficient illumination with no moonlight.
- Dedicated server window can hang when minimised.
- MP. Ping info missing (always zero) in player’s list.
