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.

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.

I was reading the first set of posts and man, its 2012 the worlds supposed to end! Finally just skipped to the middle and sped read / skimmed to here

LOL so true

I was a duke nuke em fan. The original DUke 3D was pretty cool; especially the starship troopers mod.

And also dark forces rounded out the doom / doom 2 fun of my start at PC gaming.

So patience was tested for the duke sequel and when it finally came out and was a CnB (crash n . . .)

I realized putting faith in future games was unreal. I never thought the final fantasy 6 (and ff IX) would be the last ones I'd like . . . the new ones just don't do justice.

So I am ready to let Il-2 1946 go and all its expectations and for this game as well.


But look at the devs, they are still going on, and like many posters have said, the game engine needs fixed. And I agree with that.

And once the game engine is fixed and stable, the possibilities go out the window and into (well they're not going to make a space sim lol) . . .


I mean if DCS engine can make a p-51 have a p-51 feel, well there's hope for this game.

The Devs and B6 are working at it. I'm sorry the devs and B6 have to deal with alot of the junk people are saying about them.


If you guys (haters / complainers) don't like the game return it and get your money back, most stores have a 30 day return policy (here in US).

And if you're past the 30 days, then its on you. If you say, 'I wanted to keep it for the patch' you knew how it would go down; there's a chance a magic bullet patch would be out in 2 weeks and its 1946 all over again.

Or the patch is going to be knock down, drag out, all out fight that takes years . . . (because some thing foundational is flawed in the code . . .).

Don't complain about the pics being posted, shoot, there are lots more at stake in the world than this.

Don't be a nag. Kudos to those guys and gals playing the game and sending the crash reports. They're helping.

The ROF comparison is funny too. ROF is working fine but at release it was shoddy and all the 1946 people were all laughing. But now its reversed with ROF being strong and IL series the weaksauce. Kudos to ROF crew for setting a good example. I personally thought IL-2 series would never go down the ROF starting route, but I guess things change.

But at least both games are being worked on.


-------

for all the people moaning about ac fm's and colors . . . those details need to wait until the game engine is fixed.

Once the engine is working, then the details outside can be remedied.

------

I think all those people saying they will not buy the sequel will change their tune once the game's fixed.

once again thanks for the updates, at least we have those now.

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.

[Trumper]

I can't be bothered to read these threads anymore,i am NOT INTERESTED IN THE RUSSIAN FRONT,i just want the little old BoB.

[MegOhm]

Meanwhile Il2 1946 HSFX 6.0 has been released...

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.

That would be something Ive wanted to see for a long time. A detailed Stalingrad map. If that's what it is, let's hope they have their objects by then, so that not just high end users can fly over it.
