S!

Great news on the graphics engine!! AS said, having a SOLID engine to work on makes it easier to add more in the future

I am happy!

WHEN...the following is from Luthier on October 17th...almost two months ago.

“Our main priorities now are:

1. Physics and FM.
2. AI…this should give us quite a dramatic change in how air combat looks and feels.
3. Performance. We are in final stages of testing…FPS increase will be in the final version, but it shouldn’t be less than 50%.
4. Sound. The sound in the v15950 is considered a beta. We will continue to improve existing sound, and to add new ones to the aircraft and to the world around them.
5. SDK. As promised earlier, still planning to release a map-making SDK in the near future. More details will be released when we are ready for them.”

Luthier should have a feel at this point on timing. For those that work in any business, you can always give a boss or customer an idea of when something is going to be delivered. Give us a tentative date so we are all on the same page in terms of expectations.

I never look a gift horse in the mouth. Like everyone here, I've bought the game; they've got my money. We're not exactly in a strong negotiating position here to ask or demand anything. There is nothing to be gained by them to give any tentative date for anything. We've already ruined that avenue by our past behaviour on this forum.

I do appreciate the effort they're making to fix this sim to what it should've been from the get go. Hopefully this sets the stage for them to garner future purchases from us for expansions such as War over Moscow, Malta/North Africa/Sicily, etc.

Thanks Blacksix for taking the time and effort to do this...your work is very much appreciated.

As for the info given...Meh...almost no new information, apart from telling us the stuff Luthier has been talking about for the last few months is now months away or not even on the list.

I think this News?? Update?? is a new offense from Luthier (No offense BS, its not your fault).

I bought this broken game twice, in russian and in english languages, and I feel cheated every week, every friday when the next beta-beta-beta-patch doesnt arrive and Mr. Luthier is too busy for writing two lines explaining why. No screenshots, not a decent list of new features..NOTHING.

And now, the ultimate insult: Seems that they have "moved" their effords to a "sequel", not even having finished the first part. My God, even the radio messages are a useless mess!! Weather engine? Nooo, moved to the sequel. C´mon!!

Well, good luck with that one. I will not be cheated again.

you bought the game cheap, in russian, because you could not wait to get your hands on it. if you feel "cheated" then that's your own malfunction, to be brutally honest. see my clarification on sequel above.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....what, game left beta state?....no?...ok........zzzzzzzzz

Appreciate the info effort Blacksix. Seems I was correct when I stated that CloD was a Battle Of Moscow beta - every effort has been shifted to the sequel a long time ago.
I shelfed the game and bought me a dslr while waiting for the sequel.
I so hope that CloD will make use of the updates in the sequel.

I hope you are wrong, I don't feel too optomistic that all the problems will be fixed as the sequel will naturally become the priority. Let's see what the next update is like regards fixing many of the current SP and MP problems. I don't expect to see everything fixed or improved but hopefully it will be in a better state when the sequel is announced.

Update for Dec 9th....still working on the project, unfortunately its a slow process, if you require more frequent updates, please just change the date at the start of the post, as the rest still applies.

Thank you, BlackSix.

I'm a little sad that it seems some of the bigger 'features' that were supposed to be part of CloD are now part of the sequel.

I'm glad they're still tuning and tweaking and making a graphics revision for CloD, though.

I guess what I'm saying is THIS time (with the sequel) I'm going to wait until the game is out and people have commented about it before I purchase. Especially if these features aren't going to be backward compatible with CloD.

I want to fly Spitfires and Hurricanes, g'damn it!
