We have been advised by the developers: the sim won't look any different but it will run better, in comparison to the release engine.

Yes, this is correct, and needs drawing attention to. Many might have forgotten this over time, so it's as well to remind the forum from time to time. It cannot be stated often enough, especially to those who wish to do nothing but complain.

The forum needs more of this style of factual post, far too much moaning has taken place recently.

A breath of fresh air, Wolf Rider. Thank you.

would you rather have the development team here explaining stuff that has been explained many many times over ( and yet again, very well too by blackdog ) or have them working on the beta? ya can't really have both, they don't have a big team and I for one would rather they be working on ironing out the bugs in the beta then answering the same whining questions over and over to people who don't bother to read previous posts.

Yes, I would rather have the development team here explaining what is going on, although I am assuming they will at least answer some questions after the patch is released. And as far as I know Blackdog isn't part of the development team, I too could make speculations and general statements about software development, but that doesn't tell us anything specific.
As he said, he only has an "understanding" - like the rest of us. In reality it means nothing about the actual development of the game.

Hmmmm. Looking through those links I noticed with some delight the tail hook on one of the shots of the Sky Raider.
