Guys its a good Idea and I will discuss with Blacksix and the other mods.
We dont want to sensor peoples opinions but unfortunately sometimes people go a little over board as has been quite evident in the last 48hrs.
Don't get me wrong, Im highly critical of what was released and how it was handled too, but unlike a lot of others here I decided to get positively involved.
After playing IL2 for 10 years and being in one of the longest serving squads which has a long history with IL2 and a couple of long running permanent game servers, I can tell you I wasnt impressed by what was released. And Im still critical like a lot of you about the CTD/memory leak bug and some of the playability issues, but I actually accepted long ago that it was what it was, and it is what it is today...... I want to enjoy this sim for another ten years so im not going to try and bury it ten feet under with constant criticism and childish remarks.
I am also however, not in denial that it needs a lot of work. But as we have seen the guys are working on it and it is HARD WORK. So I just enjoy it as it is, and it is still quite magical despite some of the current clunkiness.
Some of you commented about .net and the complexity of the aircraft. They are basically flying blueprints pretty much down to the last rivet. Thats painstaking work. Not only that but the damage models are so much more complex now because of all the extra detail beneath the skin. Thats not even taking into account the skinning and graphical detail. So have a little respect when Luthier says it takes a year, thats what it takes. Why would he make that up knowing that you lot want to lynch him?
