That was a tiny but great news detail!

Thank you for the punctual update Blacksix,

Nice weekend!

Next time, if possible, some information on which bugs may be fixed (on existing planes) would also be welcome... e.g. fix for the automatic course navigation (gyros) of the HE111 and JU88...

Thanks for the info, B6.

B6 You dont happen to have any info you can share with us on if the CTD/memory leak issue has at least been identified and worked on possibly for the next patch?

Excellent!

OK, crude numbers are there, but what is the quality tradeout? Everything comes at a price ...

I'm pretty sure that force feedback is broken with all FFB sticks and not just MS FFB2. The FFB will cut in and out randomly I've heard logitec G940 owners complain of the same problem. Plus the cannon shake is broken on the bf109 it uses the wrong ffe file.... but I've mentioned that a million times on here already.

... same problem here, I also have a MS Sidewinder FFB2 plus a Saitek X45 (throttle only in use). Whenever I shoot the guns or drop a bomb, FFB cuts out regularly. Sometimes it recovers, sometimes it doesent.

Thanks for the update. Good news about the FPS increase, looking forward to seeing some images from the graphics overhaul, in lieu of the graphics overhaul.

Whilst there wont' be any more content for CloD you will still be looking to improve FMs won't you?
