Yep, it's a great addition to the mission roster! Still too much emphasis in that one on RED making ground attacks in France, though, and on fighter/fighter points.

Like I said. Hopefully the patch will resolve some of the issues we have in putting up historical missions. I'm all for making a simulator simulate reality because that's fun to recreate stuff. But if you're not recreating history, you're just sending people up to shoot at each other in the air and any game like that is no fun for one side if it's not balanced. If you create realistic flight models, we need realistic situations to employ them.

Maybe i should start working on my broken quad core PC soon. Didnt care about it for one year now, but this sounds as if the time might have come....

So close I can taste it. Thanks for the big update. Look forward to trying out the beta patch (been a while since I last was on CloD). And I'm looking forward to pastures new too, those Rata's are a blast, and my old friend the Friedrich.

Thanks again.

FIrst of all, good to have you back Luthier....Having you back here, is indeed very good news !

How about new clouds and dynamic weather system, pilot's bailout animation and all those beautiful visual effects that were shown during developpement ?
Are any of those will be in the final CLOD issue or only in the sequel ?

Thanks !

It is also a common problem, that the planes as dots appear at a long distance and when we get closer they simply disappear (or blur into the background) at a given distance and they pop up again when they are close.

Is it addressed in the new engine?

cheers
