Posative for me.
It was quite clear in previous Friday updates that there is much being worked on in Cliffs of Dover by the team at present & it is only common sense to realise for there to be any decent sales of sequels it has to be fixed first.
I hope to see 1c go on to make this new series as sucsessful as iL2 & its follow-ups.
Just as a reminder on what work has/ is being done at present that we will get when tested and ready.

" I know you’ve been waiting for it forever. We’re working on it non-stop, and what can I say, it can only be ready when it’s ready. We’re not working on an externally set schedule, so we can sit down and do things right rather than rushing them out to meet a deadline.
I want to apologize to everybody for it taking so long. But I’d rather apologize for this than for releasing things quickly and for it to be of inferior quality."

We haven’t talked about our flight model for some time. We haven’t been idle however. Not only are we fine-tuning plane performance, we’re making some very deep changes to the underlying core of our physics code.
We are completely rewriting collision and landing gear, while also making other elements of the flight model more complete and precise. Control surface behavior and reaction has been significantly improved. Refined transverse velocity calculations in relation to aircraft performance. Made it possible to calculate different transverse velocity at different points along the wing. Improved pylon and loadout FM calculations. Added many new features to allow FM calculation needed in future sequels. Many of these changes have also entailed completely rewriting existing code.
And this is by no means a complete list!
Graphics-wise, we’re dealing with a last-minute issue as we speak. We rather unexpectedly found a problem with our aircraft decals, i.e. the code that places crosses and roundels and chevrons etc on top of the aircraft paintscheme. The code is being rewritten, the work should be finished in about 2 days. Once it’s done we can take much more accurate benchmarks. We’ll post then when we have them."
The only thing that is Negative is the continual counter productive whines .
The work is being done and when fixed these pages hopefully will become much more about community help and information .
One more thing, Black Six is doing us a service by posting the updates when he has information for us and our requests & questions have been fed back to the team.
Unless you want to have no feedback from the Dev Team at all Please stop shooting the messenger.
