I dont know if my thread will be again removed, but I think my comment is
not a whining, but rather a response to BlackSix's incomprehensible situation.
SAlute !

No one in the world is so busy that they can't spend 2 minutes writing a quick update. There's doesn't even have to be pictures, just let us know what's going on.

If the RoF were to do a Flying Tigers study using their engine, well I'd be out the 1C door before you could say 'update.' Not that I don't like CloD, I bought three installs of it, an investment for the future as it turns out, and I think it'll be the best sim out there in a few years. But at the moment it doesn't work, and won't work on my rig, so I've played it for maybe 20 minutes in the last month or so, just long enough to remind myself why I don't play it, whereas RoF works a like a charm, but I've no interest in WWI aviation.

How about a few words? It's taken me three minutes to write this email, and most of that's farting around because I've got a sticky 'i' key. Can Maddox games spare three minutes?

BalackSix's reply means that luthier did not talk to him about any update before his post appeared. Logically this means that there is no big landmark reached yet. This means that any update will not bring sufficient news to make majority happy. This means that the update will not make any difference and logically there is no point in making one.

This is the update from me I can make it every Friday if you want

Seriously, it is not reasonable to ask for news. News appear only if any so called news-making events happen. Just imagine calling a news agency every 10 minutes and asking "do you have an update for us?" As soon as there are news you will get news. There is no point in just "sucking them out of a finger" as we say.

As far as I can see the updates policy is not to post every Friday useless "We are still working on this, that and that but small issues with that and this prevent us from issuing a patch yet. We do hope that these small issues would not cause any major disaster when pieces of code are assembled and tested together. As the tests are not 100% complete unfortunately we can not give you any ETA ATM because s**t usually happens in the very last moment as anyone working in the industry knows." It goes without saying if you think about it for a minute (maybe more).

It is reasonable that if there is no news there is no update. Luthier was too optimistic bringing some premature news too early in the past IIRC and probably learned some lessons. This is a good sign to me.

As wise men say "No news is good news."

I think the next big patch ("optimisation" patch) will be crucial......turning or failing point...they know that...

Which is why they want to do it right instead of releasing it prematurely...

Mmmmm. Prematurely.

Do I want to know what's going on? Sure. Am I impatient about it? Not anymore. I simply stopped caring about it. If the new series stops right now it would be a shame but guess what? There's so much more going on sim wise than Il2 CloD. If 1C drops the ball it will be the makers of RoF that at some point will pick it up. So, it won't be the end of the world. Ok, you spend $50 on a game and it does not work. Suck it up. Spend another $50 on RoF or DCS A10 and you'll be simming you're heart out.

Apparently the developers think there's nothing to bee seen or to be exited about right now. Only one thing to do. Keep on walking nothing to see here. Recovering 10 year Il2 addict but right now my "give a Phunck 'O meter" sits at O.
