that said its nice to have another plane fixed, won't be in any of my missions though, since i want to simulate BoB.

and I find it hard to get excited about the umpteenth re-incarnation of the Spitfire/Hurricane/109 which I have flown in a myriad of different sims, yaaaawn.

Black SIx, Can you speak about improvements (if any) regarding the enemy fighter AIs lack of aggressiveness at present? Has anything been done to this aspect of the game?
Great news on the update; thank you.

Please vote up and add reference data if you have some.

BTW there is no entry regarding 109 performance. Anyone has good reference to add if its performance is not correct?

I find it a bit strange that we would be expected to have to vote to get the correct performance for the aircraft in the sim. Correct performance and historic specification of aircraft should already be a priority top ten objectives for the developers I would have thought. Still, I will start voting then.

Woo, looks like the perfect update.

Those shots of the russian villages/churches look epic as well, can't wait

Great news! Hope it pans out as planned.

Surprinsingly great news.
Thank you for your hard work. I was a bit worried. Lots of fixes on the way and that's awesome. I sure hope we can all forget this hard frustrating months.

I'm really happy to see the old awesome golden sun sets coming back: The sun glare at sunset is beautiful orange again. Bless you guys.




I have one question , if I may. Any changes in the SLI/Crossfire support?

It breaks my heart looking at half that GTX590, with 1.5GB of fast memory, sitting there idling, while the other half is strugling.

Thank you.

Soooo, no radar vectoring to actually make CloD immersive?

I appreciate the dedication put forth to improve the graphics engine and performance, the lack of which has kept me from playing what is still an impressive sim, as well as the new theater of battle. I also understand the necessity of bringing out the sequel in order to be able to afford keeping the entirety of 1C's flight sim aspirations afloat.

But...

...even as one of the most optimistic around here I can't help but be a bit disappointed that we didn't get the full experience for Battle of Britain.

In a niche industry like this surrounded by bland console fare I'll take what I can get and be thankful for it though.

What a beautiful surprise.
The new shots look so much better!!!! Early morning bombing missions are going to be a beautiful experience again.

Here's a quick comparation:

Love it. Thank you.
