This thread will remain locked and a source of up to date answers from B6.
I have updated this thread with the most up to date info I can find based on known fixes or answers to specific questions.
There may still be some further refinement of the format and answers based on Blacksix input.
I will consolidate B6 answers to this post.
Readme for last beta? Coming with next official patch
Mini-patch for LOD/Tree shadows? - Fixed
.Net crash on exit (Microsoft .net security updates causing?) fixed
When will we get all damage decals back? (small calibre hits etc) some fixed still more work to be done
When will we get the Clouds back? - lower level clouds are back - high altitude clouds still being worked on
Is the SDK being worked on again yet? Timeframe for release? Before sequel or after? Low priority
Is there a plan to implement Anti Aliasing or any of the newer full scene anti aliasing (FXAA, MLAA, TSAA etc)?? Timeframe for release? Before sequel or after? Yes, we are planning to make normal AA in the future. The main task now is fixing and debugging new game engine.
Is SLI/Crossfire support going to be working again soon now that you have almost finished the graphics engine rewrite? Is it a priority? Luthier says working with Nvidia for driver level profile
Mini-patch for Hurricane start issues? fixed
Will the 'weather' option be reset to original on RAF aircraft for more a more realistic appearance? skin weathering effects still being worked on
Will the Channel map coop problem be fixed to allow us to use it as originally intended? No further plans for co-op addition or changes
Does the ".cs" file have a character limit? OR Is the ".cs" file limited to so many functions or abilities? No & No
Why is there not a gladiator static object? We'll add this plane in the next patch maybe Only as a static object. And CR.42 too, maybe.
Any news on progress on the AI? There are still a lot of crashings of AI, in the air and on the ground. Could you give me links with bug-reports about crashings of AI on this forum? I'll show them to our programmers if they didn't see.
clouds: shadows and self-shadows, reflection on water, source light influences, etc.. are you working on them, and when they will be added (back)? We are working on them, they will be added in one of the patches, when they will be ready
- Radio Comms.. any progress in this area? is some programmer assigned to and working on it, or it was postponed? I need full list of bugs in the last beta-patch. Our programmer are working on it.

I will add to the above and ask if the FM are still been worked? FM are still been worked, we'll tell when we'll stop all work for CloD.
do the development team look at the bugtracker at all? Some of our programmers look at the bugtracker, some of our programmers can't read English, some of our programmers visit bug-threads only on the Sukhoi.ru. I don't study a bugs, this is not my work. If I see question about problem with game I need link with bug-report.
I know this is a long shot but it would nice for the reds to get another bomber. I know you have already stated that the modellers are all working on the sequal. We can't make new planes or cockpits for CloD. We can fix only now.
Has the skin weathering bug being addressed? Yes, we know about this bug
Are the problems with interior and exterior sound problems still being worked on for the official patch, for example, damage or hit sounds? Do you have links with bug-reports about sound problems?
Can you give a waiting time estimate on this "final patch"? I can't. Nobody know this now.
Focke-Wulf 190. When? If we'll make appropriate theater of operation then we'll make FW-190.
- some chrono doesn't work, - magneto switch auto at engine start, - need to make a key for armed bomb and switch low altitude, (no feature in cockpit), -need to make a key for starting engine ( no click in cockpit availlable) Maybe we'll make something, I can't say about our plans
will see pilots animations in the future like bailing out open canopy etc Maybe in the sequel.
You mentioned ages ago the devs were working on improving the ground handling of aircraft. Is this included in the current beta? Maybe in the sequel.
It was also mentioned that the flight model was being improved by making lift calculations at different points along the wing. Have these changes been released yet? We'll tell about this in the readme if we'll make this
Will the spit cockpit be fixed I.e. rim wheel animations, corrected read outs etc Maybe
Su26 ... what about that ? ? Ilya said last year: "You’ll get to fly it". I have no new info.
Are the development team aware of the fact that the 'engine temperature effects' setting of the game reduces the performance of all aircraft in the game by varying amounts when switched on? Affecting some aircraft more than others? To be discussed with the FM programmer. :UPDATED: 28-8-2012
Are there plans to accept 3rd party ground objects to be imported into CLOD, such as buildings, trees, static objects etc. We have no this plans.
