May be a good idea. Been starting to think that myself.

This calls for a poll.

thanks for the updates

and the picture are coming along nicely. I like the attitude to keep at it and keep improving things.


there used to be a time when toyota was considered junk and ford + chevy + gm ruled the car biz, but toyota focused on little improvements . . . and now they have quality stuff (well they had problems like all top biz does).

-----

in regarding the devs flying online . . . I used to repair PC's . . . and when I got home, the last thing I wanted to see was a PC or even use one.

Maybe the case is here, the devs are working alot on this game, and when its time to go home after work, they don't want to bring work home

But thats just me. I knew some guys that lived and breathed computers, so they'd be working on computers, and then go home and hack or run their p2p seed servers or just program stuff for fun, and their lives revolved around computers, so it depends on the person, some people see their work as their life . . . others may want to balance their lives out more . . .

----

in regarding the game being broke . . . I think the future patches will solve most problems Clod has today, and since the format for old Il-2 is probably being used, we will get the sequel, which is stand alone but it will add on to Clod. So the sequel will also update Clod . . .

-----


i'm totally from the school of measure once, cut twice . . . meaning its better to fully test something, make sure it does what you want it to do, and does it in all sorts of situations from slow to crazy, take your time to do it right, then release it.

Granted there is a balancing act, you cannot waste time and spend forever doing something or suffering from excessive perfectionism, especially with sims or video games in general.

I just want to play the game, but in it's current state I'm not able to do this. I don't think there is such a thing as "The Perfect Game." One without bugs.. Seriously, we would be waiting forever if they tried to make the game totally bug free. I will be more then happy when I am able just to play the game.

BTW - I am just making points here! I don't believe in moaning - My wife and kids moan on at me all the time, so I know how annoying moaning can get.

Well, what happens is... not everyone is ever happy.
The developers roll over to the very vocal minority and release a patch before it is ready and they get shot for releasing a patch with bugs and hounded for doing that.
Look, everyone knows the state of the nation... give the developers space to work and allow them to get to target, giving it the their best shot.
Let them work without pressure or blackmail (financial and emotional).
There is no real point in having an early partial release, is there? (isn't that what got us here in the first place??).

Just do the same thing you tell your youngens, when they moan and carry on - "have patience, it will be ready, when it is ready"

@wolf_Rider

I see where you are coming from and I am not overly bothered about waiting. The point I was making is that they may just aswell of released it because it will not please everyone when the patch is out. My point is there will always be bugs in games and this fix will not address them all. I will just be happy when I can play the game, unlike some people who just like to moan about the colors in the game and what not. Anyways, it will be ready when it is ready and I except that.

Bingo!

Same reasoning goes into why I don't fly CoD online with my forum handle.

Well I fly online using my forum name and join TS channels and I have never had any issues, but I take your point if you are really unpopular you wouldn't want to let yourself be known.

Don´t release patch until is finished.
After all, if you want to release something, do flayable cockpits for Wellington, Dephiant and repair engine management for Blenheim.

I mean I am completely in line with those who want a finished patch and not sth. rushed out just to keep bigger parts of the community quiet.

But IF I understand it correctly that particle effects are the last issue they are facing regarding the microstutters and therefore IF these stutters are the same as in our version, then I say: Hey here I am patch, I'm waiting for you

But maybe in their current engine build the stutters because of particle effects are worse than ours due to the rewriting of the code. In that case I think nobodys helping anyone with releasing a patch now.
