Here's a new version of this level that already had a couple of major revisions before. Hoping this will be the definitive one.

A bit of background: Tortuga was very open and lineal, quite different from some of our classic maps. While variation is welcomed sometimes, in this particular case I think most players didn't appreciate its unique layout and features. So here's a version more in line with what you would expect from a Fistful of Frags map: more connections, escape routes, tight gameplay and controlled line of sight.

Greetings to our beloved fishing community!

This April, get ready for a challenge! Dust off your best gear, hone your fishing skills, and enter the first world bass fishing tournament, the World Bass Tour!

Register for this exciting tournament and prove you can masterfully catch one of the most popular fish among America's sport anglers! And the feisty scaly creatures will make it interesting: this tournament promises to become the epicenter of the action.

Three qualifying stages will determine the 60 best anglers who will advance to the Semifinals. The top 20 anglers of the Semifinals will then compete in the final battle to become Bass Champion.

Best anglers will get unique tackles as a reward: X-Series Missile™ 220, X-Series LanceCaster™ 6500, Rivertex™ WBT Bass Genius Cap

Through the water expanses of the Everglades, the swampy shores of Louisiana, and the tropical Marron River you’ll find yourselves in the Amazon jungle; and then be ready for the final battle on Blue Crab Island, Mississippi!

The tournament will last from April 11 through 16, with registration starting on April 10, one day before the first qualifying stage.

Here’s the tournament schedule:

• April 11: Qualifier 1 at Everglades, Florida.
  
• April 12: Qualifier 2 on the swampy expanses of Quanchkin Lake, Louisiana.
  
• April 13: Qualifier 3 on the Marron River in northern Bolivia.
  
• April 15: Semifinals in the meandering streams of the Amazonian Maze in Brazil.
  
• April 16: Finals on the magical Blue Crab Island, Mississippi.

Tight lines, anglers! Make sure you catch plenty of Bass!

Version 0.5.1 brings some large balance and game adjustments. The list might not seem very long but these are important changes that adjust the feel and pace of the game, especially at higher levels.

One major game change is that building upgrades are mostly no longer building level gated, allowing you access to more hero job classes from the start of the game. However buildings now cost more Crystal so you'll have to choose your upgrade path more carefully.

Overall this will make the game slightly harder - you'll find yourself short of gold more often and equipment is a less powerful. However this also fixes the quality of equipment found, so you should no longer be finding chests full of wooden bracelets in higher level dungeons.

Balancing will continue, there's still magic vs. melee adjustments required as well as overall economy balance.

Here's the full list of changes:

• Change cost of building upgrades, especially crystal
  
• Reduce or remove building level requirement for most additions
  
• Tune item loot drops to be more powerful, less accessories
  
• Fix issue with items not properly selecting materials by quality
  
• Adjust the ATK/DEF of higher quality items
  
• Hide prices for fully upgraded building
  
• Reduce gold found in chests, especially at higher levels
  
• Fix some typos
  
• Fix targeting radius of Living Storm
  
• Fix Earth Elemental counter attack
  
• Increased healing from Drain HP spells
  
• Reduced ATK power when using Whirlwind skill

New engine modelling methods have been in progress during development of the Mi-24P and AH-64D modules. The new UH-1H engine model was in many ways a test bed for the methods we then used in the AH-64D engines model. We’ve been gathering feedback about DCS: UH-1H over the years and thanks to our forum users; Piston85, Ramsay and others, we have pinpointed changes we would work on during the new engine model development. Now we are finishing the deployment of the new engine model to UH-1H and are eager to let you try it. Please make sure to give us your feedback.

The new model represents fine tuning and here are some points about why we were working on it:

• Some of the old engine model parameters did not match with their real counterpart, especially in transient regimes.
  
• We wanted to improve temperature regimes compliance to match the real world counterpart, like EGT for example and other engine parameters changing, depending on altitude and outside temperature changes.
  
• We wanted to model some of the mechanics better, for instance a new model has allowed us to expand states for connection of the free turbine and main rotor.
  
• The new model allowed us to improve details of start-up and shutdown procedures, because of expanded modelling of compressors and free turbine.

The new model allows us to improve the details of start-up and shutdown procedures, because of the expanded modelling of the compressor and free turbine.



The image shows that we are now accurately modelling auto-rotation situation readings on the tachometer. The real aircraft dial is on the left and the DCS: UH-1H Huey dial on the right.
