You don't have to worry about what to say to them, the best option is just ignore them. No motter what you said they will never accept the answer, what ever it may be.

You can hear outside noises, yes. As you should. We can argue this based both on memoirs and on scientific formulas.

good, i think you hear a shoot inside the cockpit more mechanic as a explosion

Pleased to hear we'll get 'the weather' in the FMB for us to try at our peril. Flying a Moth or that Su-26 on a small map with a blow coming will be interesting. Good shots, thanks for the up dates, can't wait for the opportunity to give you some more of my money.

Is it E6700 or Q6700, i.e. DUO or QUAD?

UPD.
luthier answered on the Russian forum that it is DUO. Sounds very promising. Still some room available for advanced weather )))

Thanks for the response Luthier. One other quick question about sounds of CoD is if the recordings of engine noises we have now in-game are from actual recordings of real engine counterparts...ie. CoD's Daimler-Benz in-game sounds like a real Daimler-Benz? Does the complex sound engine need alot of CPU horsepower?

luthier thanks for the vid!!!

with the rig you are using would you say the settings in the vid were "medium" or low? because if I didnt know any better I would have said they looked to be on the high end of the spectrum!... it looks that good!!!

Oleg and Luthier,

Thank you for taking the time to give us our addiction this week

Very lovely screenies and video. I know you guys are working tremendously hard. I know your whole intent is to release a sim that will do what it says. If that means holding back some features, so be it. I'd much rather have a sim that starts on the ground running than a few I've boughten that are still bug infested. Thanks for being upfront and honest. That's pretty much all anyone can ask for. I too wish other people knew what WIP means as well

I can't wait for a copy to be in my hands!

Cheers and Thanks!

Sad commentary, but it's a fact. Ignore their whines, complaints and other negative jabber. The community at large appreciates all the feedback, and discussion with the Oleg and yourself.

It is just a fact, you cannot please everyone.

One thing is sure. This community loves the update threads and many people get up early each Friday monrning to get a quick peak at what is new.

I love you guys! Great taste - letting us mess things up. I love the consumer being treated as an adult for once.
