    Just noticed it at Fileshack. Appears as though a patch has been released for the standard BF1942 as well, 1.45. I don't think anyone was expecting this

    Patch 1.45

    ** IMPORTANT INFO INVOLVING AIR CONTROLS IN PATCH 1.45 **

    Patch 1.45 has introduced 3 new AIR controls, located under CONTROLS in the OPTIONS menu, on the 2nd page of the AIR tab. If you have applied the 1.45 patch to an existing, previously played install of Battlefield 1942, you will need to define keys for these controls in order for them to work while playing.

    For reference, if you apply the 1.45 patch to an installation of Battlefield 1942 that has not been previously played, the keys are setup by default as follows :

    AIR Control Default Key
    GO TO POSITION 4 Key 4
    GO TO POSITION 5 Key 5
    GO TO POSITION 6 Key 6

    NETWORK/SERVER FIXES

    -game.listPlayers will now display client IP addresses when run from the server console

    CLIENT FIXES

    -Support for Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of WWII expansion pack
    -Land vehicles will not respawn if player is too close to spawnpoint.
    -Def Gun now has shell icon instead of rocket.
    -Fixed issue with using the mouse wheel as a control.
    -AI skill no longer resets to EASY when browsing menus.
    -Dropped kits stay on static objects such as bridges, houses, etc.
    -Fixed issue with disappearing buttons after activating a custom game.
    -Tooltips added for Def Gun, stationary MG42 and stationary Browning.
    -Kits can no longer be picked up from a distance.
    -Fixed force from explosions on vehicles which were sometimes wrong, and caused vehicles to roll over.
    -AI players don't count when voting in COOP.
    -Possible to select position 4, 5 and 6 in aircrafts.
    -Console background does not disappear after switching to main menu.
    -Changing camera view while shooting or leaving water works.
    -CO-OP briefing text now displays the specific conquest type for each map (Assault, Head-On or Hybrid)
    -Names with line-feeds are now valid.
    -Fixed floating exploit.
    -Fixed first person animations, which sometimes stopped prematurely.
    -Fixed crash when changing camera view under certain conditions.

    I always thought you could switch to the 4, 5, and 6 position already? How have I been switching in the AC-130 or the new Bombers in BoB?

    Wait...I thought Secret Weapons was something you had to pay for? Or do they have it available to pay/download as well as buy off the shelf?

    I haven't seen any site shosting it yet, but have heard people on fourms saying that GameSpy arcade is letting them DL it. I would assume the large DL places will have it up shortly.

    Yea you'll have to pay for it when it comes out in stores, but EA released a one map demo. I played a short SP game of it, and can say that I won't be buying this. I didn't buy RtR because it's just a few new maps and a few vehicles, this is the same crap. This is why they refuse to release an SDK, so they can milk the crap out of this game with shitty "expansion packs" and little $30 add-ons that the community could do better, and for free.

    Agreed.

    One word: Meh
    High End Lian Li Case = $180 on Mastercard
    High End Coolermaster Case = $180 on mastercard
    Debating which computer case is better = Priceless

    Apparently DC 0.39 is ready to go, they are just looking for mirrors to host it.

    Time is near for the .39 patch, So the DC team is looking for Mirrors.
    If your interested in being a mirror, please send me your information, such as link to use on the site.

    A requirement for being a mirror is a viewable number of downloads counter.

    Send your mirror requests to [email protected]

    Thanks,
    Frank DeLise
    Just noticed this on the site as well

    ** Please note, DesertCombat .39 will be released August 15th 2003 **

    So another week
