I will try and make track and mission which produces phantoms 100% of the time.

I don't wish to be rude B6 but practically everybody who flies online has experienced the "disappearing contact" problem. This, along with the other disappointing problems, indicate to me that the development team do not test anything online, or do nothing about it.

The FM's are very poor, particularly for the RAF, you do not need to look hard for this, there are threads complaining all over the place and bugs raised in the bugtracker.

A question for you though, do the development team look at the bugtracker at all? It is important that if 1C are taking 'beta' seriously then we would like to know if it makes sense to raise such issues there.

If not please tell us if the patches are genuinely serious or to buy time for the sequel because we're wasting an awful lot of our time testing everything out, which is overspiling into petty bickering. The community is most upset - you need to know this.

Thank you.

Communication is usually a two-way street. Answers like I don't know… no one has told me...I'm not authorized to say… we're working on it… Not much being communicated. Maybe this thread should be renamed "things we've heard a million times from the developers. " I know it's not B6's fault but this seems rather pointless

right now in CoD the 109 is over performing in many aspects, and the spitfires are significantly under performing in many others, the end result is a very uneven match-up where the 109's have advantages that are not historically correct and for red flyers online the imbalance is so great it can prevent normal gameplay.

Please, stop this discussion about FM and balance here.

I can close this thread, no problem.

- Radio Comms.. any progress in this area? is some programmer assigned to and working on it, or it was postponed?
- AI.. any progress in this area? is some programmer assigned to and working on it, or it was postponed?

1) We are working on them, they will be added in one of the patches, when they will be ready
2) I need full list of bugs in the last beta-patch. Our programmer are working on it.
3) Our programmers are working on it.

Still waiting

Could we please have the readme for the last patch. It is normal practice in software development to produce a readme or 'whats new' file.

FM's are #1, it's tearing your community apart and putting many customers off.

Some of our programmers look at the bugtracker, some of our programmers can't read English, some of our programmers visit bug-threads only on the Sukhoi.ru. I don't study a bugs, this is not my work. If I see question about problem with game I need link with bug-report.

I saw the original message. Do you think that you speak for the entire community? I don't think so.

Full readme will be ready together with the final patch, I think. Now we have the opportunity to give a short list of fixes and set the task to the test.
