By the way - is CoD modelled with a 'Standard day'? Can you give us information on the atmospheric conditions used in CoD? These would play a big part in all those speed and climb tests people are doing.

Interesting is that in the same map and condition Spitfire MK II (87 Octan) has close performacne to RL data but other planes not.

Added reflections? Where they? lol Gotta say I didn't notice any.....


I notice them most on the prop with the sun behind. There's also reflections off distant objects.

The prop does feel more 'alive', and my initial impression is that spotting planes beneath you is easier too. The dots show white against the sea, is that what you mean by distant reflections or something else?

Yes, guys are following bugtracker, but now we have no time for this. The main purpose is locating and fixing crash bugs, all other - later.

Good idea. Stay far away from features and concentrate 110% on fixing it. Swing back around and put all the fluff stuff in when you have no bugs.

Looking forward it. I assume you are still on track with this?

Thanks for the update BS! Looking forward to improvements (especially being able to turn cloud and grass back on) and more frequent patch releases.
