Looking forward to test it!!!

Please make it No 1 on the list. Performance with ssao off is great already even on ati4890. We need some meaningful online content for your great channel map!

Thank you for your hard work! The harder you work the faster time goes by. I am not surprised you mentioned February. Thank you!

ps. Online interface needs briefing screen badly. It is missing atm. Sides can not learn what their objectives in a mission are. Need hotfix pleeeeease.

We do not yet have the user interface for switching between modified and stock files, nor do we have the server GUI to allow/disallow custom content so that makes things a little more difficult for the players. We’re probably going to ignore any infractions before today, but we’ll become more aggressive in the coming days. Please be warned. There will be a wide-scale account ban once we identify a large number of culprits. Everyone will be banned simultaneously, with no prior warning or chance for redemption. If you do not wish to be made an example of, please do not use ANY modified files in any online matches.

After all, cracking the game is against the EULA and theoretically we could ban everyone who has ever tried any mod, but that of course would serve no purpose. Once again, we do not mind you fiddling with your own game on your own machine, as long as you don’t use that ability to try to give yourself an unfair advantage online.

Thank you, that is the right approach. The multiplayer is basicly what holds this sim toghether and will do so in coming years. I am now calm to know that you aknowledge the huge importance of STRONGLY ENFORCING an online level playing field. Although I think you should put a bit more effort to inform people of the consequences - maybe a sticky on here forum?

As always excellent work, and thank you very much for communicating with us. Optimism prevails.

Thanks for that. Congratulations on the latest refinements. Looking forward to it immensely.

Hi luthier realy great news. Just one question.

Is there a possibility (in the futre) to reset the key mapping to deafault? In any case if somebody made some errors in keymapping (like me) to get the default keys.

I had a crash, the language changed, so i had no more keys, even the default key made by your team was gone.


Thanks alot and keep up that grat work and this beautifull sim.

The support I always expected.

Thankyou for you and your teams continued hard work.

Appreciated.

How will this work with triple core processors??

I'd also like to impress the urgency of a working FFB!!!
No way to fly the usually stable 109 on the edge without feedback (as we have to now because it doesn't reach max. speed), way too many stalls for me.

Any fix for the HD 6950, HD 6870, HD 6850 and 6970 luthier??

Did you ever think that maybe in a real 109 you dont get ffb before a stall??
