True.

I'd much rather prefer development notes rather than screenshots/videos which are likely to change from week to week until the Beta is ready. Even though we know that posted screenies etc. are WIP, it's frustrating to see elements in images which aren't up to the expectations from IL2's successor.

For instance, I'd prefer updates like "Working on enhancement to cloud generation code to allow for flat bottommed clouds." or "Enhancing maps to include sandy beaches with rocks along coastlines." or "clouds now generated automatically over thermal producing areas" or "integrated optimized forest generation code in stable branch" etc.

This would probably reduce distressed posts by panicked fans when they see WIP imagery. Might also allow Oleg to talk in greated detail about more 'revolutionary' features without giving away implementation details.
