Friday Update, March 2, 2012

well i feel humbled that someones, yes someone from this team Apologised. Its been along year and well thats the first apology ive seen.

What I don't understand was in a few updates ago they said they had run benchmarks with the fps average of 70+ and high of 140+ so if thats the case ( even in BETA ) why wont that be in the BETA patch?

Huh?! The first beta patch which we will receive soon I hope, will be a performance patch thus including above mentioned fps increases. I don't get your question. Other stuff will come with later patches.

I read it the other way around. The (First ) Beta patch will only be graphics improvements.

I can easily be happy with just a patch that gives a smoothness to performance and the CTD fixes. I have no doubt that in all this time there will be numerous other fixes included though - to the extent I don't know.

But there hasn't been a patch to date that didn't fix at least a few things in the cockpits, in the FMB, etc..

Really looking forward to be able to get a group of 20 human piloted bombers up in a nice formation and not worry about going to desktop. If we get that, I can wait a while longer for the other tunable problems.

Nice pictures btw - It seems like AA was working in a couple of them?

That's exactly what I said in my post LOL! First beta patch "only" graphics/performance improvements. Ok, alles klar!

and rebuilding the gfx engine is what will give the 50% improvement in frame rates, the sequence of events shows the logic

"[QUOTE=BlackSix;395812]Morning everyone!

As everyone is worried about the development progress, a few words about that first.

You will see the beta graphics patch very shortly. I know you’ve been waiting for it forever. We’re working on it non-stop, and what can I say, it can only be ready when it’s ready. We’re not working on an externally set schedule, so we can sit down and do things right rather than rushing them out to meet a deadline.
I want to apologize to everybody for it taking so long. But I’d rather apologize for this than for releasing things quickly and for it to be of inferior quality."


Not working on a schedule?...well you lucky as so many of us do!!!... so we can earn some money! You have had some of them and not delivered! One year after release you cannot issue even a readme so we can see what are your objectives! Ready when is ready is not good enough, you have had allready plenty of time to fix this game so far!

Not working on an external schedule- i.e not working to ubisofts timetable, which is why the sim was released in the state it was.

They will have internal deadlines, within the studio. That was probably for this friday, something came up so rather than push out a buggy patch they have postponed it a few days. Or so I should have thought.

Mod Edit: Please stay on topic and refrain from following tangents started by other users. Thank you.

Thanks for the update but, thanks what? ok its hard work to do the il2, but, i will thanked more a update focused on the upcoming engine, rather on an expansion we need to buy, my opinion but, devs, can you listen to the people on the forums? we will be more nervous if you dont answer important questions for all of us, i know its a hard work, but we paid for you to listen to us and playing your fantastic game, we need deep info for the next engine, becose its the most importat thing for most of us, later the ai and other implements but now the engine, the houses starts on the floor,not the roof ,Manu

Mod Edit: Please read the information again and you will see that what you need is answered. The next patch will have at least one beta part: first comes the graphics beta, then the rest will either be released on the final patch or they will have their own beta versions. The sequel is a different thing completely.
