Since when this patch was supposed to be "alpha" ? Go back and read again all Bsix updates...for the last 10 weeks...

Since when 1C gets influenced by impatient "whiners" to the point of releasing a barely working patch ?

Really ?

Known Issues

• Not fully optimized: grass, clouds, and trees. Clouds cause constant FPS drop; grass and trees cause hick-ups. A few extra days of work for this, a few days for grass, few days for clouds, we felt that we could start open testing the patch without waiting for these changes.
• Texture cache failing to draw higher-res textures on close-up objects with lower settings on below-recommended video cards.
• Weathering textures on aircraft appear shiny in shadows.
• No damage decals on aircraft from small-caliber hits.
• The hit flash effects are temporarily turned off.
• Far and medium distance clouds are temporarily turned off.
• Text in dialogue windows in the mission builder may appear bugged with other dialogue windows underneath.
• The front line in mission builder and minimap is drawn incorrectly.

Glad he was banned ? Even the MOds are sad it happened...Anyway... I was referring to the content of the thread...Not to the one who put it back...

We know that...Once again and read all the past Bsix updates where he states something like this : We don't want to ruch anything out till all is fixed and working good...We wouldn't want to get flamed again !

At least he went out with a bang... I got banned at SimHQ for writing that "I hope everyone feel they're getting their money's worth from their SimHQ membership"... Doesn't take much if a mod has a bone to pick with you...

So who is talking bollocks here, is it BlackSix or all you disciples who keep telling us that its an Alpha patch?

Tree my friend don't you feel like beating a dead donkey sometimes? It could be good as anti- stress but it looks seriously useless. Just my humble advice.

Cheers!
