Do you have links with bug-reports about sound problems?

I am currently working on setting up a voice command profile to use offline so I can, for example, verbally make orders to wingmen, ask ground control for vectors etc. I just had a look at my old profile for IL2 1946 and the amount of Radio Commands that were availabe was staggering compared to what we have now in Cliffs. CloD is a major step backwards in this regard IMO and that has a major impact in offline gameplay. I would like to ask if the programmers who are working on it are actually intending or attempting to give us a Radio Commands system that is much closer to 1946 in levels of detail?

As an example I really miss being able to command my wingmen/flight to break, rejoin or RTB ... or to order them to attack a train, or AAA etc..that sort of thing.

I don't think that we would make something new for CloD. We can fix only.

I can't. Nobody know this now.

I'll not deal with this issue in any way. This is a complex question beyond my competence.

Not only have 1C sold a game with horrendous problems, but you have the rudeness to be sarcastic to them when they become frustrated by patches that claim one thing and do something else - under the guise of 'community relations'.

I can't be sarcastic, I don't know the language so well. I have certain goals and I work with forums.

I consider that the most pressing issue.

I think no. We are not planning this.

i hear a rumor who said if we reduce sound ingame ( for better listen teamspeak ) some sound like hit sound were imperceptible...

a tip is to reduce sound with windows 7 sound bar who permit to reduce .exe ( so clodo.exe sound )
and having max sound ingame

Thanks for the answer regarding my Radio comms question B6. Its disappointing though given all the commands we had available in the original IL2 series. Oh well.

Black six this statement of you about Coops (Multiplayer Cooperative missions) doesn't sound good, as many of the people here are waiting for this to be able to run coops missions with their squad mates, actually this one of the features that most of the users/costumers are looking for, as is vital for squads that fly online in cooperative custom made campaigns/missions.
This should be a top priority issue to work on along with the net code problems.

Now what we should expect for CloD, as you stated, there will be no new planes, no coops features. So you will only work on the engine??? what we should expect for the sequel??? last question is vital cause many people here wants to know if the whole sim will become an MMO, or the Il-2 franchise will still being a pure flight sim???

Blacksix, are the development team aware of the fact that the 'engine temperature effects' setting of the game reduces the performance of all aircraft in the game by varying amounts when switched on? Affecting some aircraft more than others?

Is this an issue currently being worked on in order to reduce the effect?

I'll ask on Monday.

I didn't promise announcements in the coming next week, I promised more info about our situation and communication.

Yes, of course.

I didn't mean to offend you, but I have written several times that I don't want to debate FM in this topic.

And your English is really improving! Well done!

Thanks

Clearly some people don't understand what you mean when you say "answers to common questions" and then reply like you have done above.

Yes, I'll draw.

We can fix CloD only. We can't add anything.
We'll tell about next project in the announcement. I've an embargo on the disclosure of any details.

Will you please point us to the Thread where you are willing to debate the FMs and which both you and the developers are reading. We would like to know that you are all aware of precisely what we are unhappy with and not just rely on what the devs may be thinking on their own. I haven't seen any acknowledgement of our specific concerns or what it is they are correcting, just 'we are working on it'.

I think that they are looking at the bugtracker reports for FM disputes with any supportive arguments...no one should expect them to participate in the numerous FM threads.

Exactly but there was talk of devs not speaking english etc. So 'where' and is it being co-ordinated or are they just making random pickings?
