Glad to see you've still got a sense of humour after all the forum vitriol!

thanks for the update, sounds great

Thank you for the efforts of you and your team. I know this will be an amazing sim for many, many years.

Here's my question. There have been numerous posts about sounds and I was wondering if you and your team consider them to be good and complete for now...or are they place holders while you address more important issues. The fly by sounds seem particularly in need of attention.

Your thoughts?

Luthier - I must add in my "bit" from down here in South Africa.

Firstly, the sim looks brilliant - the clips that have been posted show that you guys have once again produced something that has "raised the bar" by a massive amount.

I endorse what others have said on this forum - try and relax, take a breath or two and "re-charge your batteries".

You guys have shown amazing commitment and dedication to "tweaking" and fine-tuning IL-2, Forgotten Battles etc in the past - I'm sure that the community, that knows you guys, will be very patient.

Thanks (as always) for keeping us all informed and ware of developments.

First of all. THANK YOU, Luthier and MG guys!

Now, please DO NOT change the info windows focus on click, and the cockpit ones on ALT click, that would force us do in-game ALT clicks (ie with two hands instead with just one).

The people are confused about them because nowhere there's a clean and detailed explanation regarding how to use/customize them.

What we REALLY need regarding the info windows would be:
- a way to customize all text's colors (atm there are some which don't allow this (and the dark blue text is not so easily distinguished against the background)
- fix the bug forgetting the info windows' settings (I've set mine a few times, and now and then the my settings are just forgotten)
- add a digital info window for IAS/TAS, altitude, etc (as in old IL|2)

Also, please give us a BIG water only map. It should be a work of only 2 mins for your guys, but it will mean a lot to us.

Also,

Luthier,

Any news on dedicated server software for MP? Will it be part of the game or is it a separate program?

Thanks for update!
