Weather/Terrain effects. Surely this is the minimum we expect for CloD or the Sequel - Page 15

I don't live in this forum like you David, I visit to see if there's a patch available. I know you live in this forum because you seem to have an answer to everyone that posts a negative comment, I always see you in there arguing the toss. Have you ever thought about becoming a politician?

Yes, you do appear to live in this forum. And you whine constantly, but you are still here. If you want to show the devs that there are consequences for the long time it is taking them to fix the game, leave. That'll teach 'em...

I think you need to take a look at the amount of posts you've made before telling someone else they live in here

You may think I whine, but I say it as it is. I come here to talk about the state of play from time to time and not to argue the toss with people like you do. God only knows what you'll do when you have nobody to argue with.

18 months - quite a long time. About the time it takes to get a fully-fledged add-on to market. Or a revised graphics run-time and weather/terrain effects, plus a dynamic campaign and weather system, and maybe an extra plane or two, possibly a theatre.

...or how about a Readme for a beta patch?

The thread subject was minimum expectations. I think we have been hovering around minimum expectations for quite a long time. More hovering than a helicopter or Vtol sim.

The sense of determined fantasy and unreality at least now seems to be giving way to a general grudging acceptance of the facts, which is progress of a sort. Soit's not all bad. Hopefully now that various ailments are so apparent, the code-doctors can start the treatment. the quesion is, do they amputate, or try and save what is there? Hence at the moment, minimum expectations....

The Ignore button, now my friend (how many people can it hold?)

I have about 56 posts per month since joining. You have almost 70.

This is an engine and these guys are artists; this is was we were waiting for from CoD.

Also this one is great.

Why....they don't buy this engine or make a joint venture instead of waste their time in this poor code, called CoD?

Graphic is not all, we know, but CoD what's is? Physic? FM? DM? What?

And just a point as-well. GLOdarks video was captured and created with an ati 4850. This is what can be achieved with proper coding in graphics.

I agree that 1c should buy the graphics engine back and then add the cem and updated (dear god please update) fm/dm and ai.

It's also a great example of what can be done with an arcade game, a fact to which you seem to be completely oblivious.

The WT beta I am testing has a sim mode and while not as good as CoD, its pretty good. Its roughly Il-2 1946 quality with better graphics. When CoD is fixed it will be better all round for sure. But right now its not fixed and the graphics need work.

CoD graphics are probably never going to reach arcade quality.
