Thanks Luthier, very clear and concise.... Im sure the vast majority of us here appreciate you and your teams dedication to your art. We know you will give it your all. I just hope you get some sleep and or down time !

For me the only real disappointment at this stage is the propeller issue .... Im sure in time this will be "corrected" in some fashion ... Oh and Im still confused about the lack 64 bit exe question and what if any affect it will have on my Win7 64 bit machine.
AlsoI brought a 2nd hand Q6600 and am wondering now if I should stick with a 2 rather than quad core processor.

Any how Im sure it will all come good !

Hi Luthier, thanks for the update. A couple of questions though:

1. What's the status of the terrain/water artifacts (black line on the water surface, lines appearing-disappearing near the shoreline, etc.) Currently, aside from performance issues, that's the only thing that's bugging me.

2. Can you give us a comprehensive guidance for ProcessAffinityMask settings (what values have what effect)?

Pass "-server" parameter to launcher.

Hi, the problem i am having is i cant load any missions, the game loads fine,i select my aircraft and the mission loads to 100% and then dose nothing and the progress bar stops , the only mission i can get to work is the tigermoth training mission but i have massive graphics corruption with misplaced and missing textures combined with very poor frame rates, i have posted a screenshot on my steam profile (carosel43) changing the graphics settings makes no difference to the problem. i was next going to try new drivers.

i am running win xp media center with service pack 2 (sp3 refuses to work)
Dual core Amd Athlon X2 7750 2.7ghz
3gig ddr2 800mhz
Geforce gtx460

Any ideas?

Thanks Luthier!

(giving the RegEdit thing a try now)

EDIT: No good for me, I think it is because I am running a Gt330M on a laptop. I get the menu, but no Pilots, Aircraft or anything when I load a mission, just sounds.

Thanks ZaltysZ!

But how can you run 2 game installs at the same time? If one game install is on the dedicated server and connected to steam via your steam account to run the server, wouldn't that render your personal account useless to try and open the game to join the server? There would be 2 games running at the same time (I'm assuming the server has to be connected to steam?) with the same registration keys. I figured that would be a big no no.

What am I missing here

Luthier, what's up with this? Can you tell us, please, if the propellers will make it back as they were, at least into the russian release?

thank you!

how do i disable clickable cockpits?

I can't believe this. I waited years for this and now the stupid thing won't launch. Unbelieveable.
How about all us that just want to fly and not have to be a friggin computer expert to play the friggin thing.
Change this, change that, what a joke. Every other friggin game you just put the disk in and friggin play. I've stayed up very late to fly this thing and it just says the luancher has crashed.
I can't believe this. Friggin Steam. I used it about 6 years ago and nothing but problems then.
I even bought a new computer with the latest crap in it so I can't play this thing and now I can't.
Thanks a lot.
I should just chuck the thing in the bin. How many people out there have paid good money for this and can't use it. Not everyone spent friggin years reading these forums.
I'm mad as hell.
