1) New Free Flight mission has been added, look for [AC] Free Flight - ADFX-02. 2) Enabled the ADFX-02's Factory skin, which is used in the Free Flight mission.
Version 1.03
1) Additional balance pass on AI performance to make them a little easier to fight against. (Gauntlet AI remains unchanged) 2) Grau 1's combat capabilities have been slightly reduced to make him easier to fight against. 3) You can now lock on to ground units from 2000m to 2500m. (Varies depending on lock-on angle) 4) Some behind the scene changes to all missiles and AI units which affect missile lock on conditions - No changes in behavior, this is made for customization options in the future. (But let me know if you notice weird things with missiles)
Version 1.02

1) AI performance has been reduced for the MiG-21 and also for all enemy AI aircraft at the start of the mission. (Gauntlet AI, Dracul in the later stages and Grau Team remains unchanged) 2) SAM missile speed and turn rate has been slightly reduced. 3) A bug has been fixed where radio + subtitles will desync and merge when completing different phases of the main mission.
Learn how to play the mod here: IMPORTANT: Please carefully read the instruction on how to install this mod and play it:
Locate your War Thunder folder.
If you have a sound mod installed already, back it up to a different location so as to not overwrite existing files.
Copy the content of the .zip achieve to your main War Thunder folder.
Find your config.blk file in your War Thunder folder and open it using a text editor such as Notepad.
Locate the sound{ section and add the following line: enable_mod:b=yes ( You can turn off the sound mod by changing that line to enable_mod:b=no )
Ensure you have an aircraft selected in your hangar, or you may experience hud bugs when playing the mod.
Enable Radio and Music sounds in the options menu.
To play the Broken Accord mission, select the mission file that closely matches your game's resolution. (I can create more types if there is demand, until I find a better way to do this)
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Known issues (Bolded ones are new):
Light is leaking from the Afterburner effect in areas where it shouldn't.
DESTROYED hud element will reappear after a destroyed enemy aircraft hits the ground.
All radio messages related to the destruction of enemy aircraft may play again when destroyed enemies hit the ground.
Pressing the Enter button to start any of the missions will crash the game.
The TLS does not show in third person view - It still works, and can be seen working in cockpit view.
The AI may sometimes take a long time to return to the combat area.
The AI will target the player more often if you quit, fail, restart the mission at some points. Restarting the game can solve this problem.
Sound events cannot be paused, resulting in sound desync when radio chats happen.
Randomized radio messages have no audio attached to them.
