Il-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover Roadmap

[Zappatime]

Thanks for the update, I hope you have the time to keep this as a regular feature, I'm sure you've had a very trying week to say the least, but most of us can see the potential here in COD, keep the faith!

Can I ask how you are prioritising the list of bug fixes, additions, core engine improvements etc.?

With so many forum posts there's comments and threads darting about all over the place, I'm not sure how they do it, but the ARMA 2 developers I think have some sort of voting mechanism so that they tackle the most wanted fixes first (where its parctical to do it in that way) as voted on by their users. I'm just wondering how you get a feel for what's the most wanted fixes, additions, etc , apart from the perhaps obvious and pressing performance improvements everyone will appreciate.

My 'list' for what its worth' in order of preference, I guess would be something like :

1 Micro-stutter reduction/elimination
2 Multicore usage improvements
3 64-bit exe
4 Force feedback
5 'solid' trees in single player to cause damage
6 improve sound (greatly) and add missing sounds e.g train, wind rush (and volume controls like il2)
7 add a QMB/enhance the new quick mission page
8 add debris/wrecked plane to a big crash, all we get currently is a 'blast mark' decal on the ground (or sea for that matter) and no debris!
9 drivers in vehicles/gunners and at least a few crew animations, (performance dependent I know, for animations)
10 .....I'm struggling now for a tenth, I'm sure someone will suggest something

Good luck with your roadmap.
