Thanks BlackSix,all of my respect yours!

But may not have already been could have been the IL 2 rather than he had seen a new German plane?

Thanks for update. BlackSix, I'll agree with Osprey that it would be great if you could please give further info on these questions originally posted by Furbs, specifically in relation to Cliffs of Dover.


1) Will the patch fix the CTD(MEM leak) *EDIT: *Ok, noted that Luthier said the problem is no longer present in new graphics engine.*

2) What changes in the FM will we see in the patch?

3) What improvements can we expect in the AI?

4) Have the radio commands been worked on and fixed?

6) Distant LoD model visibility fixed for aircraft and ground objects?

7) How close are the server docs and SDK away from release?

8 ) Has Luthier looked again at the issue of COOPs?

9) Will the FPS boost allow FSAA to be addressed and improved?[/I]

Seeing WIP's of a sequel is nice, and thanks kindly. I think most people however probably come to the 'Cliffs of Dover' forum for info specifically related to 'Cliffs of Dover' itself. This might include things like progress made on FM revisions both blue and red, correct performance data, correct ceilings and systems bugs ironed out etc. Could we please have some info about progress or changes made on this? Thanks.

I realise that development of the sequel will of course have an effect upon CoD itself if one buys it and it is merged (dynamic weather and whatever else) and this is duly noted and understood. Its just that many people like myself are more concerned about CoD specifically.....regardless of whether we buy the sequel or not.

In particular, you mentioned a while back that Luthier was 'taking a look at' the issue of 100 octane fuel in RAF aircraft (of which there is an avalanche of primary source, corroborated evidence proving that it was indeed in widespread use by the RAF in the Battle of Britain.) Could you tell us if this is to be included in the sim? An option for fuel type would be great too....Ideally in the future.

My questions are of course related to CoD because this is obviously all I and others have on our computers at present, and this is the Cliffs of Dover forum, but the screenshots of the IL-2 are appreciated. I will certainly consider buying it once CoD's problems are resolved (which I'm confident 1c are hard at work on), and would love to hear about progress to this end.

Thanks very much.

Well you seem to have a good enough system, I would look to a conflict somewhere in it.

Mod Edit: Please use the PM function to address a specific member. Let's not open a technical discussion in the middle of the update thread. Thank you.

You are quite likely right about that, but with the impending graphics and sound changes, I will just remain patient and hope that with the length of time the patch has taken that they nail it this time, I guess they realise that they have to get it pretty well right this time, good luck to them, will be great if all the improvements come off.

Thank you for the update, Black Six. I understand you may not have much to give us today, but maybe we can get our prise ina few days, huh? Nonetheless, it is always appreciated.

I want to apologize to everybody for it taking so long. But I’d rather apologize for this than for releasing things quickly and for it to be of inferior quality.

Yes, go ahead and take your time. Rushing thinga will just make it worse. But maybe you can give us the beta so we can help you on the bug report?

Yes, we'll give the beta when it is ready and you can help us in finding errors.
