While waiting for the next updates, everyone on our discord server has been given the chance to ask an unlimited number of questions to the Project Reality Team. Out of around 200 questions, we have answered over 70. Some were fun, some required research and walls of text, others were a simple "yes" or "no", but as you can probably already see, quite some effort was put into this Q&A. No one from the team was forced to participate, all the answers were provided by volunteers and are as honest as possible.

In this Q&A the answers have been provided by:

Welcome to the highlight of our v1.7.3 release, the last one for 2022! Happy holidays and enjoy the update. You can read the full changelog here.

Logarithmic depth buffer
This change is rather technical, but solves an issue that has been plaguing PR for a long time: Z-fighting. Z-fighting occurs when two objects are so close together, that the engine does not know which one to draw in front of the other. The result is visible flickering between the two objects. This can even get so bad, that you can see players hiding inside a building through the walls. With a logarithmic depth buffer this problem gets reduced massively and z-fighting will be barely noticeable in game.




Mi-8 AMTSh and Ka-29T CAS variants
Just like the UH-1 Huey or Sokol, the Mi-8 and Ka-29T both can now be fielded in a air support role. The choppers will come equipped with S-8 unguided rockets and UPK-23 23mm gun pods.
The variants include:

Mi-8 AMTSh

• 6x S-8KOM
• 4x S-8KOM + 2x UPK-23
• 2x UPK-23

Ka-29T

• 4x S-8KOM + GShG-7.62
• 2x S-8KOM + GShG-7.62
• 2x S-8KOM + 2x UPK-23 + GShG-7.62
• 2x UPK-23 + GShG-7.62
