Interesting answers from Sukhoi (Feb 9th):

Question:
As for the I-16th. One feels that tried. But without the effects tesalyatsii and shader model 5.0 graphics visibility damages will not be up to date. Pay attention to the developers of this nuance. As many know, came out ATI cards 7970 and 7950. These cards with a maximum tesalyatsiey not cause the fall of fps-a - 0%. ATI right screen shows the type of land with a bird's-eye view of the old and the new chip. On the new 50% more detail. And NVIDIA will soon go GTX-series with the same capabilities. I am writing this to happen again the story of the WT.

BlackSix:
On the support of these technologies makes sense to think in 1.5-2 years, when they become truly massive (and thus really useful), we can not spend a lot of resources for 5-10% of the audience who have bought new cards this year. Simulation is not 3-D shooters and similar features will have a minimal effect in terms of marketing advantages over competitors. And the competition this year expected to be very serious, should go to three games on WWII aviation theme (WoWP, WoP, DCS: P-51), and will need to focus on other things entirely. First of all, it correction of fundamental errors WT, and then complete the team switching to a new project.


Question:
Alexander, if possible, please ask a programmer to cover at least two words of the cache value of shaders in the game, which is created in the documents of users. The question arose because of another new drum on repairing the launcher on missions. Does clearing the cache helps somehow, or is it only visible effect? And why, if the aid is no line in conf.ini ClearCache, with values ​​0 or 1, the first type of Elah?


BlackSix:
This cache are compiled shaders are recompiled when changing graphics settings and the release of new patches. When a new patch to clean the cache automatically, so the lines in the config file is not needed. If you change the settings, in principle, be clean, but it is not necessary. As for the "diamond" - the only option when such treatment would help - if you were following the old shaders, for example, the beta patch and for whatever reason, the game itself is not able to remove them, and there is a conflict that is the cure - just one time clean up this folder, regular cleaning, if not change graphics settings are not necessary - it will only slow the first start of the game, when the shader is just compiling.

Apologies, this message was dated 9/02 i.e. before the last update, hence I deleted this portion of the post. Ignore it.

So let me illustrate some aspects on software development and patching schedules uncertainity.

Pretty much all software on this scale are so complex piece of moving parts so guestimating probable release version date of next version is like saying we will go to the Mars but we are still working on the rockets.

So the moral of the story is, that demaning estimates of patch dates are inherently ridiculous and pointless. The patch will come the date it will be finalized, not a day sooner, nor later!
