Thanks for the update B6. It's good to be kept in the loop. From what I've been reading so far the patch is mainly for optimizing the graphics engine so we have no more ctd's and memory leaks and last but not least, playability for our brothers and sisters with lesser equipment. Never read anything about fixing comm's, AI behaviour or any other anoying bugs with the next patch. Been having a ball with the game myself and have not had a ctd in ages. (I don't play online, maybe that's why I have had no ctd's.)

I like the Il2, it is really very very nice. Thank you Ilya and BlackSix.

Thanks for the screenshots of the fall landscape in the sequel. I was thinking the same thing as Kestrel 79.. about it needing a little variance in the tree shades and tree types. Ive never been to Russia, do they only have 1 type of tree there? Even if some of the trees were different shades to break it up a bit, I realize its still a (WIP).. so its just an observation.
I don't have the CTD issue very often, but am anxious to hear some news on it, because so many other people are suffering from it. Happy players lead to happy forums..heh
I would also like to hear some development progress on how the FM, AI and radio commands are coming along. Even if its only( were working on the Radio commands.. we have " Attack Ground Targets") fixed, but were still working on So and so..
Stuff like that will go along way towards the "Mending customer relations" process.
I really do appreciate all you guys do, "Behind the scenes" to keep making this Sim better and better.. even though it never comes as fast as we all want it to..lol
Patience is a Virtue..but not all of us were in line when it was passed out.;)
Further more i appreciate all the hard work that Blackdog kT has put into keeping this thread On Topic! Very Refreshing. I can see hes been busy this morning. S! 8-)

Nice pics of the il2, though not too difficult to imagine how it would look in COD clothing, it barely gets me through to another Friday, roll on the release of the beta for the prequel to the sequel:neutral:

Fingers crossed it's in the coming week!

Fantastic!!!! new coloured trees,just what we need a!!!.
Thanks for the update B6.

In this case, Tree's post doesn't break any rules and is well within the scope of the update thread (asking a question). Thank you.

for a second, i want recommend put some red and green trees , because i wasn't familiar seeing all yellow trees. But, researching a little, found that in that particular region, the trees becomes from green to yellow, never red. so, i don't say nothing. good work

my ask is for winter time. Snow in the airfield. will be marks? the plane can sunk in snow field (outside the airfield)? will be nice see that. In the stuka, for example, germans, in winter, quit themudguard because they crash to the ground in landings. (again, correct me I.I.A.W.:roll:)

lol, :grin: Or just someone who purchased the game a year ago and still cant play without it crashing?? ungrateful? well im still here and still waiting and think im entiltled to ask a question seeing as I've invested in this project. Anyhow rant over, in future though could you pm me your little personal attacks so i can reply more bluntly without upsetting anyone but your goodself. S! Tree

Mod edit: You know the drill. Report instead of respond and let us see if rules are broken. Thank you for keeping it civil so far, don't get dragged into anything now ;)

Indeed...Soon, we will get sued by some forum members for being responsable for COD's initial failure because of our " selfish , unjustifed and childish bashing"...:grin:

Salute !

Mod Edit: Same as above post.

Well, as the memory leak seems to be related to texture loading a rewrite of the graphics engine for sure will eliminate it (as texture loading is a central part of a graphics engine)... And maybe introduce new ones... that are a lot easier to fix if they have done a good rewrite ;)

Besides, Ilya has already stated that code section with the memory leak is not there in the new patch, so I don't understand why everyone asks the same question over and over again... But OK, I maybe do understand the anxiety as it's the memory leak that has made me stop playing the game since the last patch ;)
