Is it right, that the devs can add a "In Progress" to a certain feature if they are allready onto it or maybe a "fixed" in the status of a certain bug?

That would be really awesome and everyone could stop complaining about certain bugs or sth. if they are allready fixed internally

Yes. I posted a bug/request about missing air-raid siren sounds. Someone else posted about missing Stuka dive-horn sounds. Both reports were changed by Luthier from a status of 'new' to status: 'in progress' :) He has also changed some requests status to 'rejected' & given a reasoning.

only the devs are changing the status, the admins (community members here) are helping in finding duplicated requests or fixing wrong categories. :)

And you guys here wouldnt bet what is rejected.. :)

That made my day.

Will not be changed. Engine model for AI is inherently simpler than that for the player. If we decide to make it more complex, there'll be a domino effect, and in any case there are more apparent game-affecting issues due to this than start-up.

Just assume that AI pilots have thorough mechanics, and yours is a lazy drunk."

Thanks for the community involvement Luthier.

For mods: I intended no offense in this post and if I did, please let me know. Thanks, Eagle

I assume that since it is possible to have an airstart it is at least possible to have a prewarmed up engine for takeoff. Hope they can implement that for the player. Or at least a pause before the other aircraft take off.

It's possible by script at the moment to delay the engine-start of the AI. Of course this is no solution for the average user. An difficulty setting to enable a prewarmed engine should be to difficult.

You can open 2 new tickets for this in the bugtracker if you want it happen.

Personally I think the delay should be a standard feature in campaigns, single player and coops without need to be scripted by hand.

The delay should be depending on aircraft type. E.g. the Blenheim needs longer warmup time than a Spitfire. But back to topic ...

Back to topic - how about someone take it upon themselves to include the known big bugs into the tracker (i.e. missing antialiasing, etc.)?
