Dano, when you are right, you’re right. I just took another valium and will chase it with a little Jack Daniels and a nap. Until next week….Out!

Sounds very promising indeed. That's the kind of info we've been looking forward to. Keep up the good work guys, can't wait to fly the patch.

I'm thinking the "unexpected feature" might be something the devs themselves didn't expect - some nice effect the new graphics engine delivers that wasn't anticipated?

I have looked at the some engine parts of I-16 and I saw less polygons in to the 3D model... So again as in old Il-2 times, if some engine part in 1935 is cylindrical, in BoM this engine part will be as parallelepiped and cuboid...What happens...? This is so, also for the tail wheel of I-16...

DEAR DEVS: The Devil is in to the Detail!

8. Are you planning to return to the reflections on aircraft surfaces as shown in this video?

The average of the intensity of reflection effect in the video and that present in COD today, would look the best .

Thank you for the update.

It's great to hear what's happening, even if it's a "nothing to report" one.

Ive copied all Blacksix responses to our questions to the first post so they are all in one place.

Thanks for the excellent response B6!

well seems that MAYBE there will be modifications on existing AC and MAYBE will be further improvement on the FMs.

time to ask, what kind of a simulation is that??? most performance data IS ALL WRONG!!!

which btw renders one of the few AC useless (MkIIa), as for being the most similar to its real counterpart, is banned among the less faithful ones (the irony) for being ubber against them. and they don't get it....

seriously, for the first time i'm starting to loose faith in this guys; holding judgement for the patch arrival, not my breath neither much faith

Multiplayer plagued by CTD's, single player plagued by AI and not working radios coms. Nothing said about fixing that and nothing on correcting the fm and dm.

Not impressed at all.

To me it looks like the new graphics engine is a pre-requisite to sell more copies of BoM in the russian market (with not so powerfull computers and strong interest in the scenario) and so all their ressources go there, while CoD's more pressing problems are put on hold.

This quite vague update is still better than no update. So thank you. The improvement of fps is impressive, but for instance we still don't know the % of real optimization vs. the % of quality tradeoff.
As far as the CoD patch issue date, I humbly suggest the devs not to miss the game's release anniversary ...
