Development Status - November 14, 2011

[tha3soa4Eew]

Finally this should put an end to all the arguments about one persons perception of this game over anothers. Its there in black and white from the lead developer himself. There were bugs and bad coding in the game. Bugs and bad coding that cannot be fixed but need to be thrown out and redone. fact.

The guy has said it was a flawed game but it is getting recoded. Now we can settle ourselves and check back when the work is done.

Thanks for clearing this up for us, luthier....appreciate it!

It's an update , but not really. It's not like anything was said specifically or anything coming up. Whatever happened to that feature that was supposed to 'make the competitors nervous'

Thanks Luthier.

We all know there are many problems to fix. We all know you are working at them. We all know it will take time.

The status updates won't stop those "the game is Dead" idiots. It won't make the eternal misery revellers go away, the ones that ignore the good new you do give us and pitch up with more of the same boring old whinges which, while they may be valid, must take their place in the queue. And the Trolls will always be with us.

But there are a lot of us that are enjoying CoD already and looking forward to the patches that will bring more on board.

As I see it, implementing a new graphics engine or fixing bugs therein is highly specific work for certain members of the team. Surely there must be some guys left who could work on the FM/DM or AI? Or are these guys busy working on the BoM game?

I'm disappointed, that they don't throw more manpower at the bugs to squash them faster.

What about the promised priorities that came with the last patch info?

1. Physics and FM. This means plane behavior in the air, brand new landing gear model on the ground, collision modeling including tree collision (if performance allows), and improved vehicle physics.
2. AI. Currently working on everyone’s favorite controls flutter and AI wingman behavior. Also working on improving radio comms, getting your crew to be more verbose on the intercom, and lots of other changes. Coupled with #1, this should give us quite a dramatic change in how air combat looks and feels.

Wel the sad truth is we dont really know whats true anymore, Its more than obvious that Luthier and Oleg were more than misleading us during development, is Luthier really working his socks off trying to fix this or is it more BS as normal. I guess the jury is out.

They keep "lying" to you and you keep coming back for more. It's pretty funny that some people think that 1C has to fix this "relationship". The truth is that they don't have to fix anything except the game. If they do that you'll buy whatever they are selling.

Never ever again ! In this point IL2 Cliffs of Dover opened my eyes and changed my mind. I will never by a pig in a poke again, that's for sure. This game is still in an alpha status and reading Luthiers words carefully it will stay in this status for an indefinite period of time.

Unfortunately......

From Luthier's post:

"We’re also improving the sound quite a bit, doing exciting things with aircraft, and generally progressing along the same fronts I’ve listed in my older updates. "
