Communication and work with community

[Bloblast]

Hello Black6,

Any news on progress on the AI?
There are still a lot of crashings of AI, in the air and on the ground.

Frustrating if you do a succesfull escort and the bombers crash during landing.

Hello Black6!

I would like to have an update on the following topics, please:
- clouds: shadows and self-shadows, reflection on water, source light influences, etc.. are you working on them, and when they will be added (back)?
- Radio Comms.. any progress in this area? is some programmer assigned to and working on it, or it was postponed?
- AI.. any progress in this area? is some programmer assigned to and working on it, or it was postponed?

thank you!

Could you give me links with bug-reports about crashings of AI on this forum? I'll show them to our programmers if they didn't see.

right now in CoD the 109 is over performing in many aspects, and the spitfires are significantly under performing in many others, the end result is a very uneven match-up where the 109's have advantages that are not historically correct and for red flyers online the imbalance is so great it can prevent normal gameplay.

this has to be sorted out and fixed before BoM comes out

Blacksix, I am not sure what zapatista has done wrong here for asking this question. Many people are asking the same question and you have made a thread asking for Communication from the Community. Am I missing something here because I don't see anything wrong with his post?

Communication is usually a two-way street. Answers like I don't know… no one has told me...I'm not authorized to say… we're working on it… Not much being communicated. Maybe this thread should be renamed "things we've heard a million times from the developers. " I know it's not B6's fault but this seems rather pointless

I can close this thread, no problem.

1) We are working on them, they will be added in one of the patches, when they will be ready
2) I need full list of bugs in the last beta-patch. Our programmer are working on it.
3) Our programmers are working on it.

FM are still been worked, we'll tell when we'll stop all work for CloD.

Could we please have the readme for the last patch. It is normal practice in software development to produce a readme or 'whats new' file.

FM's are #1, it's tearing your community apart and putting many customers off.

Some of our programmers look at the bugtracker, some of our programmers can't read English, some of our programmers visit bug-threads only on the Sukhoi.ru. I don't study a bugs, this is not my work. If I see question about problem with game I need link with bug-report.

I saw the original message. Do you think that you speak for the entire community? I don't think so.

Full readme will be ready together with the final patch, I think. Now we have the opportunity to give a short list of fixes and set the task to the test.
