I'm sorry you have to deal with your own frustration and at the same time communicate with us, frustrated customers.

Let's hope it all improves soon for all.

My thoughts exactly. We tend to shoot the messenger, when he is simply being loyal to his company as a professional should be. BlackSix's English is far better than my Russian, he does an excellent job under the circumstances and shows admirable restraint in his communications with us. Here's hoping the upcoming patch remedies some immediate concerns and paves the way to further progress -- and makes HIS job much more satisfying!

Totally agree Snapper,BlackSix is caught between a rock and a hard place,however his company is in my personal opinion in the process of commiting corporate suicide with any sequel that they think will be successful if they don't sort out this mess with COD asap.

We on this forum may only be a very small snapshot of what is happening within the world of 1C,but you only had to read those posts on Friday and the subsequent days after to realise the big picture that is slowly closing in on this company.

Time is running out,people's patience is running thin,draw your own conclusions,the sad fact is I don't think they realise the brevity of the situation.They could have at the very least on Friday released some sort of patch to address the appalling flight models that exist within the RAF aircraft.

The ball is in their hands,and I hope they are successful in turning things around for us but also for them.

I hear you meaks and agree completely, however to address the FMs in the current Beta patch, all the community has to do is revert to using the last official release. Then at least we'd have the old Spit IIa (limited) and the old Rotol Hurri back.

Not to mention the old Blenheim.

I've already done this, but it means flying offline only.

It's the community that's preventing this reversion happening for online play, not the developers.

Agreed Dutch 100%,we'd also get back our clouds and other eye candy too,good call,but the devs could meet us half way too by sorting this mess out too.

[Chivas]

At the moment I doubt the devs have a solid game plan. The original plan of a series of theaters, and hinting of a combined forces sim has been put in doubt as the game engine isn't working as planned yet. EVERYTHING depends on fixing the game engine, making it playable and stable, until then they can only be cryptic. When they have the game engine working as well as they can make it, then and only then can they're plans be more definitive. Either shut down the development, an MMO, a series of sequels, a combined forces sim, or any combination depending on the capability of the new game engine. All we can do is wait, stomping our feet won't change a d^mn thing.

Awesome, now this is what im talking about!

Show us the FW-190 and i'll do a backflip.

[ATAG_Bliss]

Some of B6's last posts seem pretty full of doom and gloom. I hope their priorities still lie in fixing this sim.

It's been ages since Luthier gave any sort of update. It would be nice to have some sort of update without all the cryptic data we've seen of late.

Thanks for the update, B6.

Yes, wouldn’t that be great! But perhaps, as Chivas has suggested, a lot of the future plans are entirely dependent on the state of the Clod ‘engine’ once (if?) it’s fixed -which seems fairly logical. Without a suitable game engine, any future plans are rather moot.
