Better late than never!

This made me laugh. I like your sense of humor, Ilya

I can just see how it would be once the pilot comes home in a truck and not in his aircraft.

Sqd. Leader: Why did you come in on that truck!? Where's your aircraft?!
Pilot: ...got taken out by grass, Sir....
Sqd. Leader: Grass?!? How many times have I told you NOT to go chasing cows? You're a fighterpilot fighting a war, not some lollygagging tourist!
Pilot: I swear, Sir! I was at 400 feet when suddenly....grass!
Sqd. Leader: Suddenly...grass? at 400 feet? Do you honestly think that I'm going to believe this? Have you been drinking?!

Good news all in all, though. Looking forward to monday! (Never thought I'd say that on a friday afternoon, though. Weird...)

Thanks for posting - looking forward to it. Wish you had included a screeny of the grass!

Maybe all that floating grass Luthier found came from this spot in France?

Model a 1500' Triffid to go with the grass.
When a player is kicked from a server, turn on the 1500' grass for that player, and then have a Triffid emerge from said grass and sting his aeroplane, blinding the pilot & causing the screen to go black...
The player being kicked should be completely immune to this if and only if he circles over the Isle of Wight.
???
PROFIT!

Some patch info. The size is 490 MB, 300 of that being the new sounds. The speech sounds are now out in the open by the way, so you can play with them old Il-2 style.

The colors are greatly improved. See attached screenshots.
The new plane-seat selection co-op interface is there, as well as a few more surprises (not the big one though).

Sorry folks, we really tried!

Cool luthier... it's been a while

Can't wait for the update and especially the SDK... I have had an itch to start programming something new and COD is giving me some inspiration.

As soon as the modding community starts developing for COD, it would be my dream that sombody finally develops the He-177... would fit perfectly in the channel map... been only waiting for 10 years or so...
