Black6,

This is like a non-answer to all the questions posed here regarding the issue of engine and performance. If this is to be a simulation (which I feel is still one of the best and done by a great company) of the real thing then why is the spitfire mk1a so way off. As to your not going to deal with the issue is evident. Maybe if your not going to deal with it then why not allow those that have the ability to do so or get the head dude in charge to address what plans he has for the Battle of Britain Arena. Because this is why so many bought the sim in the first place. to see all the movement to the BoM leaves us that bought the sim for this era of the war a little miffed.

If you came back and said king they are on it and they have plans for more with this area and the new engine would help in that development would have been a better answer to me. This does not mean that I will stop flying if I dont get the right answer it just means that when they MOD it i will fly on a server without VAC enabled. Hoping that someone in the British arena will compile the data need and begin to fix the error in both LW and RAF fighters.

Now I wish that the developer would be working on this issue so that you could come back with a friday update with a little more for this BoB game and not BoM.

Anyway I do like that you are fixing many bugs I was wondering if you are addressing the ghosting issue left by planes in online play? As well as the dreaded Launcher crashes locking up. These I feel are key to the tattered online community jumping back and forth from a modded 1946 to CloD.

I made the move back over because it is the era that I most wanted to fly in and enjoy. However 3 allied planes are not enough since that is where I want to fight and since no server will host the spit IIa then I am stuck in a rotol to do the work online.

Anyway keep working hard you have a TOUGH COMMUNITY TO PLEASE LOLOL.

King

Hi Snapper,

I would like to thank BlackSix for his last reply regarding 100 Octane fuel. However, I do not fully understand all that he has said and am a little confused; I am a bit slow you know, LOL. From your post you appear to have understood him. Can you help me out here and let me know what your understanding is of what he said.

Happy landings,

Talisman

Hey, I've seen you fly.....you ain't so slow. LOL

Like most of us here, I appreciate the tough job BlackSix has here. His information he gives us can only be as good as the information he gets from Ilya. The lack of specifics drives some of us nuts, and regrettably that frustration comes through at times which is directed at BlackSix -- and it's not his fault.

By "public tests" I took it to mean that Ilya uses engine performance information from similar/same sources like the one I linked to earlier. For the Spitfire Ia and Hurricane Rotol that would mean 100 octane fuel -- that's what the BoB RAF fighters were using and that's what the tests were done on. I could be dead wrong here, but that's what I chose to understand.
