Very imppressive work! Thank you.

Any plans to develop infantry units too and for example paratroopers jumping from Ju-52s invading England, pilots able to enter and exit planes, possibility to get rescued by some friendly unit?

I so hope so.

Very impressive stuff guys, I like it a lot

Sound effects are gettimg better each time I hear them.

Explosion effects are brilliant - if we can keep the FPS up that is.

Great news about the FPS increases - that will reduce the grumbling considerably I think, especially if the dreaded CTD issue is fixed.

Also very pleased to hear that vehicles will no longer die instantly. This is a first in a flight sim I think. Can't wait to see vehicles swerve off the road on fire when I attack. Thanks for listening on that point.

If, in addition to this, you can iron out the remaining issues with the flying side and provide (or at least give the community the tools to) model the environment and missing objects such as ships and create a dynamic campaign which keeps track of object damage / engine wear etc. then you'll have a real winner on your hands.

Keep up the good work guys, the future looks bright. Really looking forward to the patch.

But....well... I have to admit that I am impressed! It looks an awful lot of fun. As others have pointed out anyway... from the detailed vehicles in game to the erroneous control options in the menus, this was a seemingly inevitable development anyway and, had the game not been forced into being released before it was finished, it would have been just another feature of Cliffs of Dover that made it great and, I suspect, even the naysayers would have felt that way too.

Thanks for the update BS!

I agree. Chapeau to Ilya & Team. I will not use this feature a lot, but it will surely boost sales.

Perhaps a flyable Lysander too? I believe they were operational at this time.

I want to play as a rat catcher... you know russian field airbases were full of rats!!!

Whac-a-mole for everyone.

Love how when someone suggest that they work on alternate MP modes or more content people scream that they want more aircraft, and the devs should only focus on the Flight model and patching the graphics engine.

But show a video about something totally unrelated to flying or the patch and people fall over themselves to give the first "+1" or "thanks devs".
