A game status update would be nice

"A game status update would be nice"
Simple answers to easy questions would be nice:
1) When can we expect the next patch?
2) Are driver related issues being addressed with Nvidia and ATI
3) Can we expect any new planes before next expansion?
4) Will Clod move away from steam for multiplayer hosting anytime soon
5) How's Oleg, is he staying in touch?
6) Can we expect better default tracer belts anytime soon?
7) How is directX 11 support going?
Are any new maps planned for release before any expansion?
9) A 24/7 online war was hinted at being possible by Oleg, is this likely anytime soon
10) Keep up the good work, not really a question just my thanks
