DX9 / XP discussion

It's not as simple as that. Anyone who's done some mildly advanced project management knows that sometimes branching off is a bad mistake. Especially if it's about core features.

If you look at the quality of bug reports you'll quickly understand why. Even oldtimers are sometimes just posting rubbish like "the game isn't faster for me". Wow, what great detail. I bet that really helped finding the cause.

Personally I don't mind waiting a bit longer. It's a damn small game and I expect longer development cycles. Now that they try to post some updates I'm content with what they do. Based on the extremely low income they have from selling the game I guess we can't expect more anyways.

That said - did any of you think of how they actually monetize the game so they can keep developing? Maybe DX9 support is very much needed for a different project. And yes, delaying or slacking on that front could mean going bankrupt. The few tiny sales to IL-2 freaks DO NOT keep this game alive.
