Thanks for the update. A Polikarpov I-16, now with holes! Oh, and the 134 FPS tease...didn't Luthier mention that about five months ago? Glad to see everything is progressing smartly.

I agree there has been progress. Luthier did mention awhile ago that they were looking at a 50% increase in frame rates during beta testing the new graphic engine, but now that has increased to 100%. Its also interesting they will be showing video footage of an unexpected new feature in the next update.

I'm excited about this video feature...What could it be?

[bongodriver]

I hope people get too excited, they only said an 'unexpected' new feature......they didn't say it was amazing/spectacular.

Wait and see... so many promised ago...

Unexpected Feature ? Could be Anti-Aliasing , realistic tracers or detailed doorknobs .

Salute !

I thought it might have been a funny bug reminiscent of the 10-mile high grass, tree bullets or floating ships (although we still have those).

Maybe they found that the Wellington was suddenly flyable! But that's just my wishful thinking...

oh, the mockery..

and regarding milestones, tasks and project tracking, ALL and EVERY software development businesses are using them. working on even simpler projects than this without any of them would be simply inconceivable and nothing short of pure madness.

the project managers and producers surely have a (crystal) clear image of the current state of the project.

so, I'm 150% sure they have all of the above, it's just they don't want to let us know the dates and the deadlines.. and they would have done that, if it would have been in their favor.. as it is, it's clear they want to hide something..

well, thanks for the update anyway!
