Why does it become "arcade" when they add human control of tanks and AA guns?

They believe that the twenty guys working on the air aspects of the sim have stopped work to watch a guy or two working on the ground aspects.

What's he mean when he says "Black Death" That's what the Germans use to call IL-2s. Is that the new tittle for Battle For Moscow or something?

Actually Black Death would be a great name for a Russian Theater addon. Its good news that they are having to completely redo the Black Death benchmark track. The first one had so many bugs it was hard to watch. I

Stop with the common sense and logic, Chivas. You might hurt some fragile minds here.

Its almost a waste of time posting here, as very little common sense, is shown. Its like they can't see the forest for the trees. In an update let say the developer doesn't mention any changes to the FM and you read a post. " What about the FM, they didn't say anything about the FM, OMG they must have stopped working on the FM, WTF????

You probably just triggered a 20 page rant about tree collisions.

QUOTE FROM FRIDAY 17 UPDATE from Black Six
We haven’t talked about our flight model for some time. We haven’t been idle however. Not only are we fine-tuning plane performance, we’re making some very deep changes to the underlying core of our physics code.
We are completely rewriting collision and landing gear, while also making other elements of the flight model more complete and precise. Control surface behavior and reaction has been significantly improved. Refined transverse velocity calculations in relation to aircraft performance. Made it possible to calculate different transverse velocity at different points along the wing. Improved pylon and loadout FM calculations. Added many new features to allow FM calculation needed in future sequels. Many of these changes have also entailed completely rewriting existing code.
And this is by no means a complete list!

Most of us are busy preparing the beta version of the upcoming patch. We did make a whole lot of FPS benchmarking, and the great news is, it’s all in line with the previously announced numbers. The performance increase is very significant.

I gues at the moment the preperation for the Beta patch would include a write up of bug fixes,FM changes & GUI if any .It appears from what Black Six has said that a lot of the team are presently involved in this .

Once the Beta has been released we can post reports of bugs,FM problems &suggestions ,until then DONT PANIC its a waste of energy.
