Please could you tell us if the improved/updated sounds will come in the beta patch?
I remember a while back a statement was made by Luthier said that the sounds had been extensively fleshed out? with lots of new sounds making the cockpits feel alive.

My "beta patch" was scrapping the complete content of my webspace. Some @sshat had hacked it and infected all html files with malware stuff. Off to the trash they went.

He flew that from 1941 to 1943. Though he switched to Bf 109 at 1943 too.

Edit: The lectures were written 1943.

Ok, that's what I thought, but I didn't know if they still fought many Hurricanes by the time they got G2s.

The tree leaf colos look identical, and thus way the forests look very unrealistic. Aso tree hight and lenght looks very identiacal and trees look very alike to each other.

Add more more bushes, and the dev. team must add DEAD TREES, with no leafs on them, and add FALLEN TREES and TRUNKS.

Also MUST to be added some PUDDLES, and lot of MARSHES in Russia.

Also must to be added along side of the roads, a lot of TELEGRAPH POLES /POSTS, with cables/wires on them.

The roads must have a lot of puddles, and ruts.

Will we get AI birds at all?

What abbout a lot of hey piles on the field?

Yes all that plus a home brew vodka distillery is missing, that has to be in the final build.

Luthier has mentions that the trees are place holders so expect something different. I do like the idea of dead trees though.

Luthier, it is good to see you answer questions directly and factually.

Basically, Clod is being shelved (or, at best, being put in suspended animation) and superceded by the sequel. It's good to have the guessing games laid to rest, since some of us suspected all along (smug hat, strike one cheerleader's outfit). I dont agree with it one iota, but at least we know. Because it is a transferable engine, then any incremental improvements are of course backwards-compatible...but that is very different to directing resources to Clod 'the game' rather than 'Clod the engine'.

>>There's still a lot of things we'd like to improve, but the general idea is like this. We keep on improving the overall engine as part of developing the sequel. The things that can be put back into CoD get packaged up and released as a patch. When we get close to the release date of the sequel, we hold the changes for the sequel. If it's a major addition, not a fix, we also keep it for later.<<

Again, this leaves a bad taste, but it is what some of us suspected, and it means the more unctuous fans can give it a rest once and for all.

In short, the engine will benefit and is backwards compatible, so Clod will benefit from that - tangentially - but the game, and game-play, will see no major improvements, re-vamp, dynamic campaign or dynamic weather?

>>This is how the current patch is being released. Ostensibly, everything done for it was done for the sequel, and then patched into the "old release". <<

At least this is clear. It should mean a few old-school cheer-leader outfits going cheap, at any rate.

Didn't someone notice this? That's one of the highlights in this thread IMO. Thank goodness indeed luthier...

Oh, and you are absolutely neutral? If you managed to converse in a normal tone people may take you serious. But right now you merely resemble an angry little kid who hasn't gotten the sweets he wanted.
