Oh boy, I am frightened about his one. (IL-2 1946 ghosts I guess...)

PS: ~S~ (in particular) to the new team members.

Don't worry, most people who complain about FM's can't fly properly anyway. I don't care if they glue sidewinders to the wings of the spitfire and install jet engines, these people will get shot down in droves anyway, be it spitwhiners or luftwhiners.

I like these flight models. One reason is is because I'm having much and I mean MUCH more success in COD than IL-2 1946. I'm actually on the positive side on the kill rates the past few nights. Remember James Holland said the 109 was the better aeroplane in the Battle of Britain

Just like the ones we have in CloD...

Continuing to work on all fronts. The graphics reload has finally reached a sufficiently stable alpha state. Public beta is within reach. We’ll be benchmarking it next week and releasing the results. At this point we ourselves do not know how much better it’s gotten, and we’re as excited to learn as you are.

The sound has also gotten much fuller and bigger and more varied. We have ambient sounds, much more “vocal” airframe, and other cool things. I really enjoy listening to the game as I fly and look around.

Our team also continues to grow. We’ve just had two more people start on Wednesday. We almost ran out of space in the office that seemed half-empty when we were developing Cliffs of Dover.

I’ll conclude our tonight’s broadcast with a few photos. One shows the ongoing work on our FM; the guys are poring over Spitfire performance data (thanks Sean). The next one shows our graphics rewriting hero who is too shy to face the camera. He spent countless hours going over old code and making it better, and the game wouldn’t be what it is without his tireless efforts.

This reminds me nicely why I love Gogol's short stories and Mussorgsky's music: they make no sense, but are great art. Ilya, moi drug, ya tebya ljublju!!
