thanks for the updates

and the picture are coming along nicely. I like the attitude to keep at it and keep improving things.


there used to be a time when toyota was considered junk and ford + chevy + gm ruled the car biz, but toyota focused on little improvements . . . and now they have quality stuff (well they had problems like all top biz does).

in regarding the devs flying online . . . I used to repair PC's . . . and when I got home, the last thing I wanted to see was a PC or even use one.

Maybe the case is here, the devs are working alot on this game, and when its time to go home after work, they don't want to bring work home

But thats just me. I knew some guys that lived and breathed computers, so they'd be working on computers, and then go home and hack or run their p2p seed servers or just program stuff for fun, and their lives revolved around computers, so it depends on the person, some people see their work as their life . . . others may want to balance their lives out more . . .

in regarding the game being broke . . . I think the future patches will solve most problems Clod has today, and since the format for old Il-2 is probably being used, we will get the sequel, which is stand alone but it will add on to Clod. So the sequel will also update Clod . . .

i'm totally from the school of measure once, cut twice . . . meaning its better to fully test something, make sure it does what you want it to do, and does it in all sorts of situations from slow to crazy, take your time to do it right, then release it.

Granted there is a balancing act, you cannot waste time and spend forever doing something or suffering from excessive perfectionism, especially with sims or video games in general.
