If I am guessing, closer than last week is about all I can guess, something firmer would be nice, getting harder and harder to come here and just see a little tease or two.

hope this doesnt come off too bitchy, just frustrated.

The development has stopped giving guestimates. They have been royally roasted in the past by many community members that just don't understand its impossible to give a solid timeframe when there are no foolproof checklists for this type of work. Its unfortunate but we brought it on ourselves.

Thanks for the update. A Polikarpov I-16, now with holes! Oh, and the 134 FPS tease...didn't Luthier mention that about five months ago? Glad to see everything is progressing smartly.;)

I agree there has been progress. :) Luthier did mention awhile ago that they were looking at a 50% increase in frame rates during beta testing the new graphic engine, but now that has increased to 100%. Its also interesting they will be showing video footage of an unexpected new feature in the next update.

I'm excited about this video feature...What could it be?

I hope people get too excited, they only said an 'unexpected' new feature......they didn't say it was amazing/spectacular.

Stirwenn 02-03-2012 05:54 PM

Wait and see... so many promised ago...

Maybe next week's update will be a real update...something to look forward to. In terms of a 50% or 100% increase in fps, I'll believe it when I'm seeing it on my computer with the same maxed settings and no loss in visual quality. Finally, is the "unexpected new feature" the same "amazing new Top Secret feature that will be a first in the industry?" The one that Luthier teased us with five months ago. All a bit squirly if you ask me. Note to MG...I think we can only handle one promised ground-breaking feature at a time.:)

I appreciate their communicating more with us, but it doesnt ease the frustration any less, I want to love this game, but its still frustrating to come browse these forums with know good estimate on when we might be moving forward.

I understand the reasoning or justification of not saying anything, but doesnt ake it any easier, especially with how this game has been handled, oh well.. just keep on keeping on...
