August 6 2011 Development Update

[justme262]

It worries me that so many people see the screen shots as an improvement when they look so much worse to me. Washed out and colorless...

I just got COD running great with the darker terrain mod and sounds mod at 60fps with no stutters and now they are gonna change everything...

We have had new bugs introduced with patches, such as the prop pitch bug when they changed the 109prop pitch and the loadout screen not working after a patch. I hope this doesn't fix what isn't broken.

I would be much happier if they said they were fixing bugs like the controls bugs, spits mkI 100octane fuel, CSP.... adding British destroyers...ect

I am gonna make a copy of the way it is now ...

They reason they broke things is they rushed patches out and broke things and ppl moaned, now they have spent time debeloping the next patch, in fact STATED that they were going to take longer and still ppl frickin moaned

I think they just had a "basic" build of CoD that they had to release when Ubi said "no more money" but they had probably started work on a better one already, maybe even being half-way done with it, and the reason we are only seeing the results now is that it's getting closer to completion and there's something tangible to show.

+1. This is logical and closer to the truth I think. Frankly, though, I don't really care what happened at release (it's past, can't change it) as long as the devs make amends now (which they seem to be).

heheeh

If I read it correctly we're looking at least 2 weeks of further development and at least a week of testing. We therefore cannot expect to see the patch become available until 27th August at the earliest.

This doesn't bother me... I'm just glad for the communication from the devs - so we know they are still working it.

"Washed out and colorless..."

This is exactly what was missing...Any RL flyer will tell you this is the way the landscape looks like most often when flying, In England or elsewhere...So far CloD seemed to be consistently high noon with prevailing NW winds hence very clear atmosphere...this was not the case all the time, especially not during summer 1940!

Note that A/C flying a bit lower altitude than you should now be a lot easier to spot, like in real life...

Krupi, come on now mate, you just made that up.

You or i have no idea why they broke it.

I fly a bit (just PPL) and my experiences (in the UK) are that often there is no clear horizon (colours wash out), but looking down the clouds often cast great dark shadows across the landscape so you never have any uniformity of colours. At the moment I think CloD captures the horizon very well. I think as the dynamic weather patches come along we'll see some great visual improvements.
