Luthier Update Clarification Please

I doubt they will ever be able to represent an event such as Adler Tag or any other significantly sized battle with this sim. Certainly not until its into its old age at any rate. It will remain an aerial skirmisher. Best left to represent those slow days of the battle which had bad weather or the odd channel convoy (assuming we see some weather and ships one day). The cpu bottlenecking might not be such a problem for an eastern front scenario with only dozens, rather than hundereds of aircraft being needed to give a credible or historic number of aircraft in the air a one time.

I get the feeling that you have grossly under estimated the engine I have seen bids of CID with loads if aircraft flying at the same time.

I know the footage you mean. There's that handy app that lets you record at very slow speed and reassemble at normal speed later on. It's good for movie making as it avoids the lag and stutters you'd get if you tried to play the mission out in real time.

Those vids are indeed recorded at 1/2 the speed.. Isnt it Sony Vegas?

[Feathered_IV]

There's one built into the recorder of CoD too. Quite handy it is.

And we will all get a copy for free after all this years of patience, endless nights of testing, personal disappointment and expenses for additional hardware ?

your reward will be working AA in the sequel...aaand all the eye candy working on non nuclear rigs!

seriously its hilarious they are talking about a sequel with a current sim in its early beta state....but on positive note we just finished with alpha testing.....

[Raggz]

I'm buying any sequel because i'm way to much in love with WWII planes. I just can't leave them be
And there's still some left overs in my bucket of faith

+1

I don't care about having to work as Beta tester, really, but think about the guys who preordered Clod at full price... what had they compared to the guys who bought it yesterday at half the price?

Six months of "alpha"?

Like others have said I'm sure it will be like Pacific Fighters. You can play it standalone or merge it with your CloD install.

I'm sure they will also release a "gold pack" as well containing both so people late to the party can get everything they need all at once. That's how I originally bought IL2
I think I bought a gold pack of Forgotten Battles combined with the ACES expansion pack.

You have to assume the new game will be more polished, hopefully they have learned their lesson.
