No problem, just send them a magic wand and everything will be fine =)

Great update! Rata brings back memories, soooo looking forward to that one.

...they have had many years at their disposal to do magic!!!...sorry to dissagree!

Ha, love the I-16. That thing's a blast to fly, if a little slow, but nimble. I look forward to getting BoM'd. Thanks for the update, hope the next patch is soon as I need all the FPS I can get. R!

Hi BlackSix. Thank you for the information.
May i ask a pure technical question? What is the polygon-count of the sequel's planes? Compared to the CloD a/c engine models, the cylindrical and the rounded parts seem to be simpler. I have no problem with it, looks really good! I'm just curious how many polygon is made up of a fighter aircraft, for example? Clod and BoM?

Yes, I know. We will try)

Hi!
Well, I'll ask, but I can not do it before Tuesday. Please remind me about it through private messages.

Thanks Blacksix and Luthier for the update.

A word to those finding fault, I'm not normally that bothered about people expressing their opinions, but after what is a very decent update with an in-depth report from Luthier on the difficulties they are encountering I'm amazed to find people throwing it back in his face. All you armchair software development experts who think you personally know better...! Take a look at yourselves.

...some of us purchased games before!...may I suggest you have a look at what else its available in the industry and how it is delivered!

I hate being right.

Also like others mentioned, 1 year for a plane? Seriously? Thats sad, the graphical modeling of a planes exterior should only take a few days, a week at most. Adding details and optimizing the model another week, then another for texturing; so about a month total? In Maya 7.5 it took me two weeks to model, texture and animate (although it was limited) a abrahms on my first time.
Sounds like the development team is still suffering from a lack of efficiency/streamlining/leadership. Same old story, same old excuses.

Also ROF has airframe failure due to Gs and such, where is that in CLOD?

Edit: also game stutters when close to enemy aircraft in combat on my rig, dust on ground during takeoff and mirror cause large multi second stutters too!

[JG52Krupi]

Clearly a lot of trolls who have no idea about CAD, open yours eyes and realise RoF has nothing on CoD models... Why you ask well just look at a ww1 aircraft and compare it to a ww2 aircraft there is simply much much more to be modelled.. But hey ignorance is supposed to be bliss right so just carry on trolling.

Thank's for the update!...sequel may have been started on too soon IMHO...cart before the wheel
