Thanks for the update.

BlackSix, you tease.......why do the announcements usually leave me more frustrated for information and detail than before I was told? So there will be a new project of some kind - a pre-sequel new project or a post-sequel new project? Assuming it won't be another theatre - not that kind of project? SDK?

Think I've definitely done it there with the 'speculation' thing BlackDog , but sorry, can't help it. Info is so cryptic at times that the only response is a whole bag of new questions.

That's the way i understood it as well, but it doesn't harm to ask B6 for clarification.


Just to get things straight now that the thread is on its first pages:
If i see the usual tit-for-tat arguments, troll-bait and unrelated, off-topic stuff that usually goes on for 40 pages, the thread will be temporarily locked for clean up and infractions issued, no matter if the offending posters are supporters or detractors of the sim.

What we do in this thread:
1) Ask questions to BlackSix about the sequel

2) Ask questions to Blacksix about the upcoming patch: new graphics, sounds, the kind of bugs fixed.

3) Answer questions of other members IF we are sure we know the answer. Links are not mandatory but they are good to have, otherwise just say "i'm not sure, but i remember reading that...", etc etc.



What we don't do in this thread:
1) Assume we know the answers to questions when we don't, and post them to further our own agenda (eg "i'm sure they will fix the sim" or "i'm sure they can't fix the sim", or "this is what happened during development and it's that person's fault").

2) Ask unrelated questions or argue about other subjects that don't concern the expansion or the patch (eg, asking about 100 octane is fine, getting into a debate about it is not). This includes the current message. For separate topics users can and should start separate threads, plus we will help them to keep them on topic if they request our help.

3) Get obsessed about proving each other wrong, getting in a forum fight and insulting each other (no examples needed really, we're all too familiar with it already).


In general it's a question and answer thread, not a guess and speculation thread or a bait and switch, point and laugh thread. Let's stick to the topic please.

Thank you.

Very good, Sir. The questions have been asked - 9 of them to be exact, reiterated now a few times in this thread. Awaiting answers... in what I hope is truly an UPDATE thread, and not a 'coddle the customers' thread.

Respectfully.

Blacksix in the next patch will it be possible to collide with tree,s??

No, graphics only. From the other thread:

i don't care of il-2 plane...
ok dev come from russia, it's legits to make russian plane...
but for memory : Cliffsofdover bought from russia : 7$
cliffsofdover european collector : 70$

if you aim russian customer, good luck...
but european customer whose bought the collector ( as myself ) want a cliffsofdover playable and without bug or feature desactivated...

i prefere seeing a log of bug corrected than a yellow tree
and some patch-fix of FM like wheelbreak of Ju-87B-2
some feature like leaving cockpit when you sea-landing
and all the bug who exist since the release...

Mod Edit: Please keep on topic (questions about the next patch and the sequel). If you want to discuss something else you can start a new thread. Thank you.

Umm...you mean like releasing an unfinished game onto an ususpecting market?

Mod Edit: Please stick to discussing the update content. What happened in the release is well known and off topic for this thread. Use another one if you still wish to discuss it. Thank you.
