Thank you with the update Luthier & BlackSix.

Good news b6!

Very interesting to hear that AI fm is being looked into, that kindof came as a surprise to me (not like a "Oh I didn't know that needed fixing", more a "Oh, thats nice they suddenly decided to look at"). Also the dx9 thing, well, I understand the situation there so just get it finished whenever and we'll have a go at it.

Enjoy your weekend guys!

We did make some progress this week. On the graphics front, we did make a lot of improvements on the always troublesome DX9 support, and we also fixed a lot of smaller bugs and made some improvements to the clouds.
On the aircraft front, we’ve done virtually everything we wanted to do, and we’re now working on improving the AI FM, especially focusing on removing controls flicker and the barnstorming maneuvers. Most of this work is, of course, based on the very helpful reports and suggestions from the community.
We’re hoping that we’ll have a playable stable version of the patch ready very soon.

Have a great weekend!

this must have been written by luthier, the English syntax is much to good for black6

I see the big problem is the Maddox team/1c is not controlling properly the community (costumers) speculation...
They are creating speculations and destroying at the same time, what brings costumers frustration.

If they start from the beginning saying the patch gonna take 3 months (or some other date, more than big enough time span, to have it complete) this means creating just little speculations, people would just get a lot annoyed, but would stay watching the clock waiting for the release to come out and get released (making expectations), and if they release it before the date, people would just jump of happiness.
However the maddox/1c, it's giving a "hopeful date", or a "we think date" but for customers there is no hopeful date, for us customers, the speculation date of the release, is the real date of release and for programmers that date, is the hopeful date of "if everything goes right" what in a such complicated world never happens.
All of this blame and unhappiness is not fault of the programmers or core team, but of the one's that are "controlling us", the one's that should just give us the info that we should have to know at the right time.

I like the way the maddox work, they take a lot of in put of the community, what is really good in such project as this one, but for that they gotta share information, and that information creates speculations, and they must control those speculations! This is the kind of knowledge the project manager/commercial relation team knows, but is not applying.

All this storm could be avoided.

Just one thing B6 could you share some new Screen shots of the BoM?

Invest in the future, not in outdated technologies.
