Update 7.004

Dear friends,

We have released another patch 7.004. Please note that, in preparation for the “Korea” release, the process for players who purchased the game on Steam and would like to link IL-2 and Steam accounts has changed slightly - it now takes place on the series' website. Also, if the Steam version of the game cannot retrieve user data from the Steam client, an error message will be correctly displayed instead of opening a login and password prompt screen, which Steam version owners may not have.

• FixedLa-7fixed rudder effectiveness and incorrect flight behavior in case of tail damage;
• FixedCareerfixed game hang in certain scenarios on the Odessa and Gulf of Finland maps;

• Fixed game hang in the I-153 Chaika single mission;

• Added three free campaigns about the operations of Gefechtsverband Kuhlmey in 1944 in Karelia created by Juri_JS. These campaigns require the Gulf of Finland map from the “Siege and Liberation” module, and two of them also require the Fw 190 A-6 and A-8 aircraft from Battle of Normandy and Operation "Bodenplatte";

• The "Operation "Munchen" and "Under Siege" campaigns have been updated (changes to paint schemes);

• The procedure for linking an Il-2 account to a Steam account has been updated; it is now performed on the series’ website;

• If the Steam version of the game cannot retrieve user data from the Steam client, an error message is displayed instead of opening a login and password prompt screen, which Steam version owners may not have.
