Priority bugs & other issues that need to be looked into

Maybe just redo it in a more realistic manner as it tries to simulate a very real constraint:
either tighten your straps and have a solid sight picture without bouncing around in high G maneuvers, or loosen your straps and trade stability of vision for the ability to turn your body around more within the cockpit and get better SA.

The easiest way to fix this is to copy the RoF method and just let the player set a custom center viewpoint for each aircraft.

Just one response as I don't want to push the thread off track but anyone who has sat strapped tight into a cockpit will know they can turn their head and see about 40-50 degrees to the rear of their shoulders. That's why I don't like the 'gunsight' view with only 90 degrees left and right instead of about 135. Also I just don't get why we are slammed up against the gunsight just 6 inches or less from the sight glass. What's that all about? It just isn't real and serves no purpose.

I'd be happy to use 'gunsight' view if it just moved my head to the right in the 109 and left me to worry about the zoom/FOV level. Also, 'gunsight' view and 'tightened straps' are two completely different things.

Not sure if anyone's mentioned the poor decapitated AA gunner in the black death track.

I think the speed of the wave animation needs to be slowed down, it seems much too fast.

I take the liberty and post csThor's request here as well:

Can you please provide us with skin templates for the aircraft which contain the 3D model overlaid to show the exact mapping? It would immensely help skinning. Thx.

Disappearing "dots" in MP needs to be addressed, re MP sound prob is it just me or has it been fixed? Was getting the sound cutting out regularly but hasnt happen for last three days?

The bloody mysterious dots in MP!!!! Chase them all around the sky to no avail. Curiously though, never had a problem with sound in MP.

Oh yeah, please can we have option to select cockpit shadows whilst disabling the awful ground shadows?

seems when you kill a pilot the stick remains in the last position he holded it last which keeps the plane longer in the air with a death pilot than it should

Agreed 100%, the waves are too fast.

The sim still isn't performing anywhere near the level it should be, I'm a bit horrified that they're almost out of improvements! Until the performance degradation is fixed, any improvements are hard to test properly - and of course it's not doing wonders for the gameplay.

A couple of comments:
Crossfire and stuttering should be added up to be at the same level of priority. Also, Mirrors and shaddoows have a huge impact on performance.

Well done on the issues that have been adressed but Fps and video problems should be regarded as a prority issue as the smooth runing of CLOD far outweighs any other issue at present .
Sounds ,FMs, DMs & user interfaces can all be bought up to scratch with modification updates at any time as long as the game runs smoothly.Even iL2 when it was first released ran smoother than the first release of CLOD on the specified minamal spec systems .Updates have made big improvements but surelyliquid video output is the escence of having a sound foundation for the game.
