B6, can you please clarify whether this is about actual ghosts or the disappearing of real targets online? This can be fixed by MeshShowLod=1 but this hurts performance for many systems.

So it is good?

Try this edited version. I think this is what the original question was about:

11. Today in online servers you see far contacts which disappear when you close in. This can be fixed by MeshShowLod=1 but performance suffers. Will this be fixed?

Have to say I think that Q. 20 (merged install) will turn out to be the latest in a long-running series of storm in a teacup, non-issues that blow up here and run for a few weeks before being revealed as complete BS fed by misunderstanding and panic.

There is no 'panic'. The 'misunderstanding' is actually concern based on BlackSix's/Luthier's answer, as recent as the last few days, to the question "will CoD and the sequels be capable of merged installs". Their answer, even today, is "Its too early to tell" meaning they don't know themselves yet. I don't call the question or the current answer BS.

Those of us that have followed IL-2 for years and the early proposals of CoD expect merged installs as a way of older releases benefitting from core improvements. It has become more important given that Luthier has indicated that some aspects of CoD may not be fixed in CoD-specific patches.

I'll give the list tomorrow.
I don't know, it depends on the time available for Ilya.
Today finalizing questions.

I interpreted B6's 'can't tell' answer as being down purely to legalistic information with-holding, ie he isn't specifically authorised yet by Luthier to divulge ANY information about the sequel, rather than the devs not actually knowing themselves.

I'm sure that Luthier said some time ago that future installments would work as BOTH standalone and merged installs. I haven't tried to hunt down that quote though.

i've been wrong on this game before, but if I'm wrong on this I'll eat my shorts (as someone else famously once said...)

Such a situation would take the devs shooting of themselves in the foot to new, previously unimagined heights.

That's why I'm not really concerned. I'd imagine the potential damage to their reputation and the risk of future sales is a vital concern to 1C/MG. We're a small community with a rather vocal following. Why risk it.

Please don't based on what I said! I was just curious as to it's meaning!

Based on 1C's history with IL-2 I would interpret 'stand alone' to mean CoD will remain a stand alone game that people can play.. Just as 'IL-2 pacific fighters' is a stand alone game that people can play.. Even though most have migrated to the latest version of IL-2, i.e. 'IL-2 1946'.

And by 'merged' I would interpret that to mean everything (maps, planes, etc) from CoD will be included into the Russian front version.. Just as 'IL-2 1946' includes everything from 'IL-2 pacific fighters' and more

Hmmm, well I guess there is an element of interpretation of "It's too early for such questions."

One thing's for sure, anyone with IL-2 history and Oleg's early promotion of CoD is expecting it and it won't hurt to ask the question.
