Think about this for a minute. Developing code takes time. The largest percentage of effort always goes to the stuff that's months away, not weeks away.

If the ideas that you want to see next year - are not placed "in the hopper" - then basically, you don't run a good chance of ever seeing them.

In other words, making requests now - produces results next year - not anytime soon. Because a user has a brilliant idea on the forum, it never means that current efforts are abandoned to implement that idea.

Bottom line is, Squelching new ideas does not help produce fixes to your current problems faster. Negativity toward a new idea, only sends the message that the idea is not an important feature.

As to the OP's suggestion - Brilliant. Without specular features in the visual model, low level bombers will never have to worry about being spotted on a map. Easy points. The density of the ground textures, and the paucity of real world physics workarounds - have created a very unnaturally low vis environment under VFR conditions.

19 to 1 says the "silent majority" gets it too.

S!
