Are you concious that many of us can't play this game right ?

I don't see much improvement with the new grafics engine on my system. And the old one looks better, too. To me it seems a waste of precious developer resources, that should better have been put into fixing more gameplay issues.

At least they have implemented some goodies in that regard. Namely F-16 barrel roll gone, JU-88 gyro and vector to target and homeplate radio command working somehow. Is the mp CTD fixed now? As I don't fly multiplayer atm (no coop gui) I can't tell.

On any account it is not much for the 9 months it took the devs to do it.

I would just like to ask a question regarding the new graphics engine. I remember it was said in one of the friday updates that it was going to be over or around 1gb in size, but when we did get the beta patch it was only 250 or so MB. But it seems people are still having the same problems that the re-write was supposed to fix are still being experienced. Any idea's why the re-write was alot smaller than initially suggested? or is it 1GB across multiple patches?

Dont get me wrong, it works great for me and im quite happy with it, even on my old pc it did as well (except the tree's, but that doesnt bother me). Im only asking this out of pure curiosity, and also as alot of ppl seem to be mentioning it lately (the new re-write).

The size of the patch is largely irrelevant. As the rewrite is the engine, not the textures and models, there is not going to be a massive size to them. The largest part of the update is probably sounds files and images. The engine itself does not include all the images and models, so doesn't need to be multiple GBs large.
