Good to hear some news, although it's pretty much confirmed the oppinion I've held for a while now that efforts have been shifted to a sequel rather than fixing the current issues with CloD, the missing proper co-op mode and launcher freezes/crashes / memory leaks are the most fustrating for me.
I hope that any sequel they do release is akin to past IL2 experiences of being able to be "merged" otherwise the money spent on CloD I will personally feel is a little wasted.
I'll still probably get the sequel, but I'll not be rushing out on release day to get it after the constant disappointements with the current product. (oh and pelase don't get me wrong, I love CloD and the potential it has, I'd just like it patched and made stabler before talk of a sequel)

Sequel does not mean add-on. It could be an add-on but it's not certain. Certainly it's what I think we all hope for. For reference Cpt_Farrel asked the question and BS himself said he didn't know:

Other than that I think its good to get the feedback but I'm extremely disappointed by the lack of dynamic weather, i.e. having to wait for the sequel.

I'm not happy hearing there is a sequel coming. I have shelved this thing waiting for a good patch since purchase, and now that there is a sequel coming it would seem there is a time set already when support will stop for this title. They only way I would pay for a sequel is if they have this thing patched 100% and is the game it was hyped by the devs to be.

IMO there is not a real effort shifting.

Simply the 3D modellers work in CloD is done; they are working on BoM planeset (they are not programmers!) while the other guys are still developing the core of the sim, who will be the same for CloD and BoM (being merged; it would be insane to release 2 different games).

A whole generation of pilots learned to treasure the Spitfire for its delightful response to aerobatic manoeuvres and its handiness as a dogfighter. Iit is odd that they had continued to esteem these qualities over those of other fighters in spite of the fact that they were of only secondary importance tactically.Thus it is doubly ironic that the Spitfire’s reputation would habitually be established by reference to archaic, non-tactical criteria.

Yes, for the sequel.
Are you joking guys?

Did they had a lot rain and thunderstorms in that hot summer of 1940?

If the sequel is merged, no problem. And logics and history point on that direction. But I'm afraid that patching CloD with a completely new graphic engine + other modifications could prove being more complex than it was for Il2 with Forgotten Battles. Ultimately we can see an entirely new game, standalone, just because of an incompatibility with the new gen engine. I give it a 50/50 chance. Wait and see ...

What would you rather, development goes to the sequel and we get to buy it or not (it is after all, your choice) with additional features that were originally slated for COD or that funds dry up and we get maybe a couple more patches and development ceases?

I know it's not ideal and people have every right to be disappointed but at some point reality has to come into it doesn't it?

Anyway, thank you for the update BlackSix, much appreciated

What possible good do you actually see coming from such a course of action?

Sorry guys.

This is not, what I am waithing for.

Update for me is only news about fixing a gameplay.(microstutters, FPS drops to 3 -20 is still there).
The game is stil unplayable. My prediction on the outcome of sophisticated versions for Christmas this year, unfortunately, will not be realized.

By the way, I announced this one year ago.
