(Thanks to Crécy for pointing this out)

Well well well, that's some good news.

Must give it another bash when that update is out there.

Good. I've been flying on the ATAG server quite a bit this last week or two and noting my FPS - general flying (t/o and channel transit) is for me anywhere between 25 - 50 FPS, even low over built up areas is good, only when I come across a large group of other aircraft does it all go a bit wrong (and by a large group I mean 3+) with frames sometimes hitting a feable 2 FPS - so doubling 2 makes 4, whoopee-doop!

Great quote from 1C - firstly 'nothing'? We'll see about that. Secondly isn't releasing a patch to everyone beyond beta? :hmmm:

I guess it depends on the level of testing it went through. Considering the state of the original "we're out of money - now or never" release it seems they don't do a lot of it, or at least don't have a decent base of playtesters available.

Aaaaand bummer...:-?

seem we have to wait a bit longer.

No great surprise on the delay tbh. :O:

I don't often say it, but I really think they killed this game. Appalling communication, shocking moderation on the banana forums, flight models & radio commands wonky after an entire year, not to mention the performance, the terrible SP, lack of decent co-op interface...

I don't think I've ever seen a game so outright borked for so long. MG have burned almost all the goodwill they built over the decade of IL2, it just boggles the mind. So much potential, wasted. I'm not sure what they could do now to get any of that trust back.

Needs to be something special between the release of the patch and the supposed Moscow expansion - better yet, several special things* - or no matter how much they fix the fps, it won't bring back those who got burned, :down:


*flyable Welly would be a start ;)

I can't disagree with you, 0rp. It's a lovely sim, no doubt about it, somewhere under the coal heap there is a diamond, but the condition of it at the start, the sudden urge to drive forward with the Moscow front, putting resources into that when they should have focused fully on finishing the original, it's been a catalogue of errors and it's a shame to see it.

My hope still lies in them turning over the base CLOD code to someone like TD and letting them work their magic with it like they have with the recent patches for IL2.

^ Yeah, that! And useable flak positions too! - Why? Get the frickin' original stuff sorted first :damn:

Oh yeah, it's Ubi!!! I guess we should be thankful there are still some devs working on it at all. It really is a diamond in the rough, and it will get there - I find it frustrating but still enjoyable at the moment. SH5 of the skies? :hmmm:

What i dont understandt is why oleg choose to do yet ANOTHER battle of britain sim. The battle of britain has been done do death by now.. I dont understand that the company,s that still make real sim,s dont make another sim based on the b-17 and b-24 bombing campaign . Every time they seem to pick the battle of britain over and over again while acutally the bombing campaing and later air war over europe offers so much more. I mean comeon its been 12 years since b-17 the mighty eight and on-one for some reason has done a b-17 sim ever again .

Cliffs does have bombers, but not the heavies - and the only flyable medium is the He-111 iirc. I know what you mean and it would've been great to see those incorporated at some point in the future to this sim, and I'd have preferred an expansion of the map to include all parts reached by these rather than head off toward the Soviets. Why BoB? I don't know, maybe they saw shooting down a few people in an aircraft, or dropping bombs on military targets better publicity than wiping out residential areas.

Hang on, got it! Air combat over water will use much less resources than a whole city or ten and seeing as it's not very well optimised (just yet) for even that they'll just have dismissed a large scale bombing campaign. :cry:

Still if they (or someone else) did a modern remake of b-17 the mighty eight with the virtual crew management , bomber commander mode , squadron commander mode it would be an instant hit. They could include flyable fighters and escorts a la b-17 the mighty eight as well to please the dogfighting aspect . A2A simulations said they might do a remake sometime . but this was 3 years ago . I asked agaion a week ago in the forums and they still said they might do it sometime , but not anytime soon.
I dont understand why but it seems all the company,s avoid the heavies for some reason , which is strange becaus if done well it could really be succesfull title.

Tonight, I landed well several times, then my last for the evening - can anyone spot where I went wrong? :hmmm:

:damn:

Forgot to lower gears? :O:

You do seem a bit lower to the ground than you should be :hmmm:

:yep:

You're not upside down and on fire.

Keep trying... :smug:
