Main thing I got from the video was a shiny new mobile phone.
There was this game somewhere in the background, I'm not sure though.

I guess ppl should be waiting for the game itself, not for another 'dev update'...
...see the released game and then judge me thinks.

Awesome update. TBH, Luthier's posts would have been enough for me! It's really great to see the way the developers interact with the community, as it really helps to push the project forawrd. So thankyou Luthier.

And thanks for the word on the clouds, too. It's nice to see that you're on pretty much the same song sheet as the community is

Have a nice weekend.

Luthier, forget the weather for now, we english talk about it enough anyway

I noticed that even in these latest ground shots there's no sign of drivers or ground crew/gunners, is this another feature not present at release, or are they just 'switched off' intentionally, so as not to be revealed yet?

A couple of thoughts.

It seems that those who waited to buy a new PC when SoW would arrive, will have to buy a new pc now and do another major and costly upgrade when new features are ready and implemented in the game. That's just guess, but a reasonable one with facts given so far.

People have been waiting for this game for 5+ years. Why do they have to feel guilty or become hardly judged when they express ther dissapointment in features they expected to see in this game after all these years of development? We'd be totally unfair if we didn't respect these feelings. After all they prove that these guys really love (and are obsessed!) with Maddox games. Writing a disrespectful post about them makes you no less "bad" than what these guys are.

About today's update: nice pictures! I liked the colours and the flames!

Sorry for my bad english.

Nice stuff, many thanks

Can I just say though that the roundels still look 'wrong' in colouring

Going back to the video, everyone knows you can go full screen and do 720p? You can actually see the game pretty well there.

(sorry about the cackle, gawd!)

The reason we made the crappy handheld video is simple. All we had was screenshots, and we wanted to give you a little more. Think of it as a guy going on a date with a wrinkled box of chocolates, only to hesitate at the door and rip out a few flowers out of the rosebush in the driveway.

Luthier,
Are you happy with the sounds of CoD? For example, engine noise, gun effects, etc.. Can you post a quick vid of the sounds at full blast? Are the sounds .wav files? Synthesized ? On a further note, can you hear outside noises such as other aircraft from within your own cockpit in flight?

We're still working on sounds. Engine and gun sounds are pretty good in my opinion, but a lot of people will take some time to get used to them because they're not what you expect, especially guns as heard from inside the cockpit. We got some funny bug reports about that from some beta testers.

You can hear outside noises, yes. As you should. We can argue this based both on memoirs and on scientific formulas.

Cool...BUT if you have to do it again...pls just make the cam guy point at the screen from about a foot away and not move...and turn the sound on
