Still no patch for xbox360=game dieing
 

Please, speed up that patch...if there even is one. For this game is dieing FAST. It is dieing faster then the MC202 during a dogfight match! There has got to be someway to make this game as popular as the PC version. Sad, when at peek hours there are less then 10 players in multiply:(:(:(

I did not buy this game for mp, I bought it for the sp and the authentic ww2 plane action. Mp isn't my thing, so the online dying part isn't a big deal for me as long as we get ample sp dlc and a new patch. The online will be dead in about a month anyway with the release of codmw2. I won't be buying cod, but 14 million other people will.

Yes-I couldnt agree more. I gave up playing for awhile until the patch fixes the dead-zone issue. I even 'bought the kids' a PS3 so I could use my PC joystick and the new stick customization.
The lack of info lately from the makers is worrying me greatly. I may have to upigrade my computer and just fly IL2 on PC instead.
Ohh well, I had such high expectations-and most of them were met!. Dead-zone and lack of audible stall clue kills this for me as I am a knife-fighter. Sigh

You've been playing WAY to much HAWX and Ace Combat, haven't you. ;)

just bought 1946 on steam today for $9.99 (cant find my orig disk).. screw it! done waiting.. I missed taking off anyways!, I missed the mission builder too, I missed seeing cockpits for bf109's and such, WOW i forgot how many planes this game has! I missed engine managment, I missed having a rudder that would work..

+1 I agree 100%.

It seems like most people bought this game for the Single Person experience as did I. Just because people aren't playing it online doesn't mean the game is near death...

???
Sorry, can someone explain what is SO important about this patch that not having completely ruins the game?

I don't have a gold live account yet, so I haven't been online. Mainly been playing single missions, campaign, and training and I'm having a blast.

Soooo, are the issues only in MP or something?
The only obvious problems I can think of are the missing cockpits and something about correct mapping for flight sticks.

1. The P-51 and 190 have been reduced to flying school buses, this will be fixed after the patch (at least for the P-51, the 190 is questionable)
2. The huge issue with players crashing to avoid kills in MP will be fixed.

Those are the two main reasons, check out the dev's forum for more info on all that's coming in the patch. ;)

This patch should correct the flight mechanics of many planes, that are screwed up. (Right, that's what we're all whining about now, right?) :P

Ohhhhh of course. The P51. Completely forgot about that.

But WOW!
People kill themselves in order to avoid letting the other player get their rightful kill?
Cowardice and such unsportsmanship. But hopefully the patch'll be out by mid-December when I'll get live and finally take to the skies with other people and not the shenanigan-pulling AI.
