We had to optimize our pilots a lot to make the game playable. The downside of them not causing serious FPS issues is that they are currently unable to play complex animations like that.

We have about a gazillion aircrew animations gathering dust because of this, and we do plan to work them back in once more pressing issues are addressed.

Also, most of the "whatever happened to" questions will likely have a very similar answer.

Nice to hear they haven't being scrapped.

Luthier could we have an update on what the next patch will address?

WOW, never seen that clip. Now that would be awesome but i understand the problem from a developer's point of view.
Thanks for the info Luthier. Hopefully we will see some of those features in the future

This game is truly awesome

Maybe I am completely wrong here (and if so correct me) but that sounds to me like that animation/background happenings are all being generated as if they were in sight. Same thing with the tree boxes on the other side of the map. Why do they all have to be generated if the player does not see or is nowhere near the event?

What happened to FFB?

And what happened to 1024x768 res (OK, I'm running an old 3870 with 9.7 drivers)?
