B6, any news at all regarding the Radio Comms and the AI, please?

[Stealth_Eagle]

Thanks for the update BlackSix. I hope all goes well in programming out the glitches and I have one simple question for you: Is there any progress to report on player controlled vehiciles that you can state since of the recent announcement of DCS: Combined Arms would mean that two great flight sims will have ground controlled vehiciles from two different eras. Hope I don't cause any anger but I am just curious since I know that I plan to try to get more people to join this game when that stuff comes out.

Best regards,
Eagle

Thanks B6 for this update.

Will wait until the patch is released. Hopefully in less than 2 weeks i will recieve my new GC. With that one i hope i will not have much problems.

Looking forward to the new sequel.

B6...also from my side the question: Is progress made with the AI and the radio comms? In the last patch there was a note:

This is not true. E.G. attack commands are still not working at all. And it is not just me. Many other players report the same. See examples:

Also the AI is still performing the crazy rolls and pulls moves a human player can not even come close to. Is there any progress in that field?

These are the problems that make single player gaming completely useless at the moment.

Also there are a lot of data published here in these forums.

I really hope 1C FM engineer follow these subject and got needed data.

I belive it is possible to make it much more close to RL data then now expecially there are a lot of bugs and errors in CLoD planes performacne and engine settings ( Merlin III and MErlin XII).

Thanks for update. I really hope you can get that FM/DM sorted soon , I've noticed online play has really taken a dive over the last few weeks(not a good sign).

looks like the same on this update threads... cheers for ending the CTDs but c'mon guys, the performance values for the Spitfires are worse than before!! the FM seems more real alright, but the climbing and speed performances are unacceptable.

Funny when i fly the Spit IIa it seems a better plane than the catastrophe that you describe, it allows me to achieve more kills than the Bf. But maybe I'm just lucky ...
