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!

I don't really see why it should be necessary to move this discussion into a different thread, after all much of the update is about Dx9 problems.

I cant see any relevant dicussable content in the Friday Updates that demand keeping these threads open, so why, Mods, dont you just close them ??? Best, Allons!

I agree, leave them open for a set amount of days, mod the crap out of them when the posts are not direct questions to the devs, then after set amount of days lock it.

The point of a forum is so people can discuss things, and like any conversation it evolves. Without active threads a forum is utterly useless.

The quickest way to make a forum lose readers is to over-moderate it. As long as people are reasonably civil then what's the problem?

I am not talking about the entire forum, just these update posts which are supposed to be informative, instead they turn into pissing matches... filled with BS, like our current exchange... nothing to do with the game or the update from the original post.
