AWESOME!!!

Where did you see this timeline posted?

[adonys]

in the official IL2CoD patch releases timeline.. do you want me to quote it for you?

PS: here you go..

latest beta patch release date [PCH] (2011.10.17)
today is 2012.03.02

-> 4.5 months and still counting

and considering the current state of official words regarding the next beta patch's state.. I would say it won't come earlier than another 2-4 weeks, which would rise the bar to 5-5.5 months time interval between patches.

and as you can see, I actually was optimistic by saying 3 to 6 months, instead saying directly "another 6 months" or the even more probable "9 months/BoM's release"..

I didn't ask for the timeline of previous updates. I wanted to know where you got the timeline for upcoming updates.

if you're trying to look stupid.. you're close to actually succeed.

and if you've missed your 10 years old math classes, you can go search the "deductive reasoning" expression on wikipedia..

Adonys,

lol, i just read something completely different in B6's short reply. what B6 did say was that the initial beta version of the patch was only/mainly the gfx engine update, which would give the big performance improvement and better scenery which are the main problems right now preventing normal use of the game for many (presumably resulting in no more shimmering, better distant object visibility etc). having a beta patch initially released of what is a complete rewrite of the gfx engine makes a lot of sense, since it will have repercussions on many other aspects of the game.

his wording however suggested that the soon thereafter released non-beta version of the patch would include many of the other bug fixes we were waiting for

i didnt see anywhere that B6 said we had to wait an additional 6 months for the other priority fixes (as for ex listed by the OP in this thread) which currently still prevent the normal functioning of important parts of the flight sim

Today is my 40th birthday so I am disappointed enough already since I was praying for some answers rather than pictures (which are very good of course). Could you please bring me a nice birthday present today? ie, the answers to furbs questions


PS, Question 2, many of us are very interested in the 100 octane fuel question - that is will 12lbs boost be available for Spitfire and Hurricane when the cut-out is enabled?

Maybe I will have a bigger chance of getting the patch on my birthday, which is in July. Seriously though, congrats on the birthday!

Thanks blacksix. Swiss, it's getting colder down here!

[Screamadelica]

And wetter!!

[furbs]

Blacksix, can you please explain if you can ...

Do you mean the "BETA" will be performance and graphics only...and the "RETAIL" version of this patch will have other improvements as well?

or this "RETAIL" patch will ONLY be performance and graphics and we will have to wait for the next patch for other improvements?


i hope you mean the first.
