Message for BlackSix

[skouras]

some people is very funny
6 months ago they was crying for someone to tell them something from the Dev's team and now they throw him all the blame..
Blacksix don't hear them and thanks for every post you made available for us

skouras is right !!
Personally, since Il2 hasn't been Oleg's baby since 1946 and CoD is responsible to "investors and publishers", I'd be looking toward any "sequels" being based on the "Rise of Flight" model ( you want new planes, maps, etc. ? Each is going to COST you !!! ).
Oleg's "passion" is not shared by the "flinty-eyed guys" wearing green eye-shades in "Deep Carpet Country".

One thing is the message and other thing is the content of that message .... i´m very gratefull with the Fridays Updates (in fact, my dissapointment is from there ... one week from the "patch" and all the bug`s reports, and they come here and say "i have nothing to say" .... come on). The problem reside in how empty these messages are. Separate the wheat from the chaff please.

Good job gang, went from a nice message to B6 to showing him how mature some in this community can be... and that goes for every country represented...

As another member posted on another thread.... there should just be a locked Developer Thread for information updates and a seperate discussion thread

It´s funny how some people talk about mature and they keep clapping like seals to the devs, when one week after the patch´s release we still have not even a readme (yeah a couple of text lines) with the things that they supposedly fixed. If they can´t write in one week WHAT THEY DID ... i have serious doubts about their capacity to fix a complex flight sim ... but it seems that some ppl like to live in a fairy tale... thats so mature.

I agree with this comment.
Regardless if BS is the messenger, he needs to realize that it is more than just passing on info from the Devs. It really is a total communications effort which has a lot more involved that just parroting info to the masses.

We are relying on updates on Fridays. It is not really sufficient to come here and say there is "nothing to report".

If 1C are guilty of anything - it is not understanding how to manage customer expectations! A good PR person will do just that. You can have the nicest person in the world offering updates, but there must be information of value. If I'm in a deli ordering a sandwich, I don't give a hoot about how pleasant the person behind the counter is if I don't get my order or don't get it correct or don't get it in a reasonable amount of time.

Cut the fluff, lets understand that it only takes a communication such as : We are still working on the latest corrections to the patch. While we know that there are still graphics anomalies and that the Hurricane will not start, please be assured that we will have a resolution as soon as possible. Please bear with us during these critical times. Thank-you. The Devs. or BlackSix whatever.

That is all it takes. But to just be absent completely after the last big mess is not acceptable to a client base at all.

S!

Give the bloke a break.

It's not Black6's job to placate all of the malcontents, of whom I am one.
He does what he's asked to do. Luckily he also shows a desire to participate in this forum by responding to many posts, whether positively or negatively biased.

BlackSix is doing a fine job.

I Commend Him To the House.

Good call Dutch.
I'd hoist a pint and buy BlackSix a pint any day.
However, Luthier owes the "house" a round...
