A request for more features to make IL-2 a better game, not just better software.

[Chivas]

I haven't read the whole thread but understand the angst of the OP about missing features that will make the sim playable. This is all a factor of the sim being released unfinished, and not because these features were forgotten. Unfortunately these features were setback even further by the necessity to rewrite the basic graphics engine to provide a stable platform and the headroom necessary for these resource hungry features to be implemented.

Also the question of easy implementation of COOPs in just another factor of the sim being released unfinished. Luthier didn't say Coops wouldn't be improved, he just said the game engine is already capable of making more immersive COOPs. He should have added that the tools and documentation to make it happen easily are still waiting to be completed and implemented. I'm quite sure any sane person would understand that Luthier is aware of this problem and the issues will be addressed. There is no doubt there is confusion on everyones part, especially Luthier, who's already up to ass in aligators. Things are slowly looking brighter.
