but to my knowledge, the tools are not there yet, to make a real dynamic campaign like in 1946.

Can you rewrite it in a clearer and more specific question?

[Luno13]

Yes you're right, dynamic campaigns provide a good replayability
However, I started doing in 2002 hardcore static campaign, always refers to dynamic negative. It's always problems with balance and historical accuracy. It is best suited for a hypothetical conflict than the actual events.
But the dynamic campaign certainly would be useful now.

By "dynamic" campaign, we are not asking for the chance to change the course of history. The idea is for the computer to instantly generate a new mission with realistic situations and objectives. Static campaigns take a long time to write, and it's hard to be surprised by the enemy if you wrote the mission yourself and know exactly where they are

Without depressing you, I spent 6 years doing nothing but FMs, they are never 'fixed' in one patch hehehe.

But they do change for the better over time as more data presents itself and the game engine evolves.

The FM's in this game are suffering not from lack of documentation, but from some deep rooted game engine problems, as I understand it. Among other things, there is an in-game ceiling at ~20,000 feet above which no aircraft can fly. The relative performance of various fighters don't agree with most sources (absolute performance is impossible to get 100% right) which makes the dog-fighting experience disappointing. Hopefully these outstanding issues will be corrected in a timely manner (after all, we were shown images of the CoD world at over 40k meters).

Three quick questions, sir, please:

1) Will the Radio Comms finally fully work on this next build?
2) Is AI work being done (matching the Radio Comms, and getting rid of foolish AI behaviors)?
3) Can Luthier give us any estimate regarding the release date for this patch?

Thank you!

Thank you!

1) your question is on my list and will be sent to Ilya
2) it's a complex problem that we can not solve quickly
3) No, there is a problem that prevents us move forward in the development

[McFeckit]

No, there is a problem that prevents us move forward in the development

Can you tell us if the problem is a financial one or a coding one ?

Thank you for your answers, Black.

And just one more question, please:
4) Can you guys give us access to the AI programming functions, to can over-ride/improve them in 3rd party code (dll's)?

This would be a great step forward, as we have many users around here with good programming and flight sim AI development experience in order to start things moving in this direction.
