Friday Update, June 01, 2012

[BlackSix]

Good day everyone!

We continue to work on the patch. We’ve just completed all scheduled tasks dealing with performance improvements and will start on the list of various graphics glitches tomorrow. We’re also continuing to work on improving aircraft FM and system modules. These tasks will take at least four days, meaning we won’t being internal testing until next Friday at the earliest. If the internal test version is good and stable, it won’t take too long after that to release it to the public.

We also continue to introduce you to aircraft from our future not-yet-announced project. The official announcement is just a few short weeks away. Until then, we won’t be able to provide more details and answer specific questions, but please rest assured we aren’t in any way shape or form planning to move away from our reputation as the most realistic WWII sim on the market.

The plane we’re showing today is the famous Soviet LaGG-3 fighter that bore the brunt of the fighting alongside the I-16, Yak-1 and the MiG-3 in the most difficult early years of the war. Opinions on its quality differ greatly, however this forefather of the fearsome Lavochkin line of fighters remained in service with the Soviet VVS until the very end of the war.

Have a great weekend!

This looks awesome, thank you BlackSix. I can't wait for the patch to make the game awesome, and then fly the two Aces campaign developed for this awesome sim.

Now that I look at the overhaul of Il2, i.e. the battle of moscow. I can't help but make a comparison with DCS. We may see a whole ww2 world recreated by 1C!!!! I have a feeling that it won't be long until we will be seing remodeled and revitalised Zeroes, Wildcats, a map of N. Africa and so on

Great job you guys fantastic. Can't wait.

These updates are a real lifesavet btw.

Nice update, the aircraft models are still astounding.

Any word on the SDK being released after the announcement? It would really allow the community to transform CloD once it's ditched.
