Do you realise how early these pictures are? This release is a long way off.

These sorts of comments are pointless negativity.

We still don’t have the beta of the patch ready for the public, nor do we have a definite release date. The particle system remains a final bastion of the micro-freeze. We almost succumbed to public pressure and released a version of the patch with micro-freezes every time there are particle effects on screen, but finally decided that would be anticlimactic at best. Drops in FPS every time you fire your guns would only add oil to the fire, in our opinion. Better to face your ire a little longer for not releasing the patch than to face the outrage when the long-awaited beta is imperfect.

Still, while our graphic programmers are struggling with that, other team members are progressing along other fronts.

We are showing you some screenshots of the most iconic aircraft from the upcoming sequel. We are currently fine-tuning the flight model, and new ground-attack AI routines. We just cannot hold back the screenshots of how cool it looks. We’re all stoked here.

We know that none of you can really share our joy yet, and Cliffs of Dover is all you have at the moment. We have discussed at length whether we should even be talking about the future while our present is in the state it’s in. Dissension notwithstanding, we did decide that some extra glimmer of hope is better than complete silence. The last thing we want is for an extra segment of the community to start complaining that we’ve stopped showing our Eastern Front content as well.

So that’s the update then!

Have a great weekend!

Nice pictures, but how are you going to release a sequel without even making Cliffs of Dover something we'd even want to play?

Excellent update!!!

Covers the current status nicely and also covers what is in the works for the future. Leaving me with a greater understanding of the patch and whetting my appetite for what is coming down the road.

Well done!
