Here is Oleg's quote:
"Hi all.
I was sick more than one week, howere the work was not stop Smile
So from today (or Monday) we will begin to test 4.0 version. Yes 4.0,
but not 3.05...
Simply because it deserve to name as new thing...
The main change - new general FM.
The description from readme:
V4.0 introduces the pre-BoB Flight Model (FM). In this add-on we are
partially introducing FM from our next simulation (BOB) for worldwide
test in our current engine. Flight model in the version 4.0 was already
extensively tested by nearly 40 real pilots from around the world and
we received very positive feedback.
It is likely that some people may have a problem in their first
attempts to fly with the new flight model, especially with take-offs
and landings when FM is set to 'realistic'. However, once you
understand the differences and get used to it, everything will fall
into its place. We would like to point out, that the new FM will take
more system resources to run, especially when many aircraft are in the
air at the same time. It doesn't matter if it is human or AI, because
our AI pilots use the same FM!
------------
There will be several new positions of new Aircraft (3 of them AI),
cockpit and new modifications of existed, many new ground objects (for
both Pacific and Europe/Russian front), new maps for both Russian and
Pacific theaters.
New campaign(s)
Also there are great number of small changes and fixes. Maybe not all,
but most that to polis sim.
The size will be ~110 Mb for a Merged install and a bit smaller for PF
only.
Thats all I like to tell for the current moment.
Please no questions and speculations. We are testing."
It is evident from his statement that renaming the version to 4.0 was
done because more than a patch was being released. The details are in
the README.
