Good news about crashes!

Well, it's perfectly ok to feel however you want to feel about this. If you want to sit this one out, nobody is going to force you otherwise.

Personally, the only thing i'm convinced about is that we have too much speculation and conspiracy theories around here, which tend to muddy the waters considerably.

I generally take things in stride and prefer to test for myself before judging, because i believe that nobody here can claim to have actual knowledge of what happens in 1c's offices.

The reason i'm feeling ok with how things are going is that the end results have been getting better for me as time goes by. I sure would like them to speed up a bit, but i have other things to occupy me besides the sim so it's all good.

Maybe i'm just lucky, but i've seen nothing but improvements on my mid-range PC, patch after patch and for every single update.Or maybe i just had the free time to put in more of an effort during the first months post-release and learned how to properly patch and tweak my installation.

I don't know, because usually i don't know how the people who seem to have the biggest problems do things on their installation to compare: a lot times they don't really say much about what's wrong, except from the fact that they are displeased with something, so i can't really compare or offer any help.

Sending crash logs.

Had a blast tonight. 7 He111s and 1 Ju88 took off from Tramcourt all flying in formation to give those RAF fellas a bomb or 100 8 of us heavies all in formation at around 3000m the whole way. Around the 1/2 way point we picked up a couple 109 escorts. Within 2 minutes to target the spittys showed up and then a we had a massive fight. Spittys attacking the bombers, cannon shells from the 109s splattering all over the place, staying in formation we managed to drop our bombs.

All but 3 of us made it back home safe and sound. It was a good 2 hour sortie in a nice formation. One of the players that hopped in as a gunner even got a pilot kill. Not a single crash (even a launcher one at that ).

This is such a huge improvement for me. I wish it worked better for those having problems.

Edit: Doc shot this all on tape. Expect a video sometime in the near future

@Ataros - Great post I hope everyone is sending their crash logs in and maybe giving a little summary of what they were doing when it happened. We were trying to get it to crash with formations and can't make it happen. Perhaps we'll get a group of 10 or more bombers in a formation tomorrow!

Good news Bliss ... BTW which target did you bomb?

As the Ju88 in Bliss's harrowing recount, I must say it was great fun getting harrased inbound and outbound by multiple allied fighters durring our sortie last night in the ATAG server.

No ctd for anyone in our bomber group

I want to see 20 manned bombers in formation next

Good to here positive reports. Looking forward to the video. Please post it as a new thread in the main forums. Will attract more bombers to ATAG probably and encourage others who almost lost hope

This clearly shows there is progress. Most of the time we do not realize (including myself) how small the team is and how much trouble they are facing starting from 2008 crisis with all merges and personnel rotation

Oleg mentioned that one of reasons for troubled launch was that they tried to implement too many features. Now they still have to deal with this complexity. It will take time. Send crash and bugreports please.

... and personally i'll never blame them for being too ambitious
