Gameplay Tweaks
Changes made to both the J10 and F35B to make them more balanced. Please note that the J10 is a superior dogfighter to the F35B and as such these two aircraft will never be equally matched.
AA targeting tweaked to make it more effective.
Added checks to prevent "runway grieving".
Various changes made to prevent cheating.
Tweaked the hit detection, hits will be more accurate to the model
Increased the time to go prone after jumping from 0.3 seconds to 0.7 seconds
Fixed G36E HUD during sprinting to match other weapons.
Fixes:
Consensus to revert to 0.3 second delay between jump and prone
Mouse wheel acceleration on jeeps and APC’s
Mouse wheel acceleration on parachutes
Falcon controller prevents joystick controls being assigned to work especially on jets and helicopters. Falcon always acts as primary controller for pitch and roll. Resets to Falcon at the start of every round.
The jets on Highway Tampa were replaced with attack choppers in 1.50 - Highway Tampa is now as it was in 1.41
The graphics for Highway Tampa are the same as Mashtuur City on create a local match in the menu and load screen.
Picking up the kit of a player who disconnected causes crashes
Audio settings do not always save after clicking APPLY
Registry Version remains at 1.4 after Update 1.5 is installed
BF2OpenAL.dll was version 1.1.1.0 - Updated to version 2.1.8.1
ch_gas_station collision mesh on Dragon Valley was inconsistent with other gas station buildings
MEC artillery piece on Operation Clean Sweep changes to the USMC's control when they capture the Airfield flag
Challenger2 HUD icon was incorrect showing M1A2 HUD icon instead
Road to Jalalabad has PLA FAV spawn in place of a MEC FAV
Dragon Valley Chinese artillery used default respawn time instead of 360 seconds as other artillery uses
Bizon (PP-19) had no delay time after weapon switch (this now has a delay of 0.666)
F35B had a lock delay of 1.5 compared to 1 second lock delay of other aircraft
Incorrect camo Humvee was being spawned in Taraba Quarry
UH-60 (Black Hawk) guns had 0.25 splash damage setting, down from 3 making it difficult to hit infantry (this is now set to 1.5 to improve the UH-60's usefulness while not allowing it to dominate)
It was impossible to pass a claymore unless an engineer disarmed it first (players can now go prone to pass the claymore)
