Friday Development Update - September 16, 2011

[ktodack]

So for 3D what kind of monitor and glasses will be needed?

[Plt Off JRB Meaker]

I noticed that since the recent Beta patch was applied the British fighters markings have altered and not for the best.

The serial numbers on the Brit fighters are now grey and the tactical markings,ie,squadron markings are now a bright white these are both wrong historically.

I would'nt have brought this to light had the marking colours not been so correct previously,but they were almost perfect,now it seems on this alone the devs have gone backward.

One appreciates this is only a Beta version and that the correct marking colours will be restored on Friday,should we be lucky enough to get the live update.

The correct colours are,all serial numbers in black and majority of tactical markings in a very light grey or off white.

This beta is an important step forward, but do you guys have any news about clouds? I'm not talking about dynamic weather, but properly clouds that are the same from IL2 (placeholders?).

Is there a time line for the sky update?

One thing after the other, i'd say.

Don't put more pressure at the devs, they're working on their own accord, let them fix it right.

hmmm - same ol' same ol'

Hello Ilya - looks like you have your hands full again...

I have held off purchasing CoD after reading the early reviews and now it looks like a carbon copy of the original Il2's teething pains.

Like that one this sim was rushed, Il2 was too strong for current hardware, patches were needed to dumb it down, some effects had to be removed or reduced, no one was really happy - or rather - each patch angered some and pleased others, until finally the hardware began to catch up and you could begin to unlock and update and make Il2 the way it was supposed to be. This stuff isn't new to anyone who was around when the original was released.

And just like back when, your priorities are never the same as the 'fanbois' priorities. You talk about 3d and they want to know where their Caproni is at already....yikes

This looks identical to that situation, so you have my sincerest sympathy.

I will keep looking in on these boards though - I do plan on buying CoD someday...the screenshots look terrific

You might support the cause NOW and buy a copy, btw it is already tons of fun to play on some servers.

Im guessing you play Il2 or have played Il2? and have soon forgot about said problems when it was first released because it tuned into a masterpiece?

Be nice if you supported the game now if you intend to play it... as said above game runs fine for most of us..i said 'most' and is enjoyable now even in its current state

Yadda, yadda, yadda. Talk is cheap. Buy the game. Join the team and get in on The Big Win. Be a player, not a tire-kicker. "I do plan on....." Yeah, OK.

The live version of the patch is tentatively scheduled for next Friday the 23rd. Please for the love of all that is holy note the word “tentatively” in the previous sentence.
