He has confirmed the CTD's are a direct result of the graphics engine, and I think he is very concerned about performance, I think he said he wants 50% better performance to do things like, weather... Yea there are some other things that will be nice when they are done but in the mean time getting these CTD's ironed out and getting smoother gameplay for the guys with rigs that are modest is a noble area to work on...

Thanks for the info Luthier, good to hear we may have a new beta in a few weeks.

My performance is okay (not marvelous, but okay) and I sure as hell could wait another 3 months for updates in puncto weather. What I can't grasp at all is that radio command fixes just can't be slipped in somewhere up the priority line. It should (*should*... for non-1C companies) consume few resources and could be done relatively quickly.
And I'm quite sure that this is what puts off significant parts of the community - the fact that we've got a "WW2 aircraft simulation" here, not a "WW2 air combat simulation". But anyways, I'm just hitting walls with this... The only thing I'd really like to know is -after all these "graphics issues" are resolved- how many hours will you enjoy flying completely on your own before shelving the game yourself, silently whispering: "Ha! At least I drew those interested in actual gameplay down with me!!11".
