August 6 2011 Development Update

[smink1701]

Good to hear from you Luthier. I think the next patch will be great but the best part is you took the time to provide an update. We know you can't post daily but once a week would be nice. I think if you or someone else could manage that about 90 percent of the frustration and hate would go away. This game has great potential. We all want to see it get there and appreciate your efforts. You've restored a lot of good will today so don't be a stranger.

interesting news.

and I intend to do the same as Bonkin, I want to see how it 'll play out before I'll comment further.

more performance... overall excellent news, my faith is with this guys. they seem to be taking it seriously after all.

i see better colour grading in rivers and ocean water, that combined with the terrain tuning will make a world of difference in the landscape.
will we get the clouds this time around??

Hmmm.....I'm not sure about the looks of the 'before and afters', it looks as though someone just turned the brightness up and contrast down. A lot. But I accept it requires tuning.

The in-cockpit atmosphere of Cliffs is its best feature in my view so I hope this isn't going to tone it down too much.

But that said, it's extremely gratifying to at last have an updated progress report.

The news of the sound plus graphics and all the other features being possibly beta in the 'proverbial' is getting me pretty excited.

So thanks chaps.

Thanks for the update. As its work in progress at the moment I'm reserving judgement. Personally I'm waiting for the weather changes. Looking at the cloud shadows on the ground I think the landscape will look more realistic when we have more clouds.
