Questions for Luthier

How do you expect your current business model to deliver a profit while using the traditional il-2, addon every 2-3 years approach, and do you plan to offer DLC content in the future?

[1337Avi80R]

1. Is it save to say that the the sequel will, besides adding new content, fix all major gameplay, graphic ,multiplayer issues we currently have?

2. Will there be a solid documentation for engine management, level bombing etc.?

3. Can we expect the sequel to be out this year or is that unrealistic?

4. What happend to the offical announcement for the sequel?

5. Is someone still working on improving and/or adding new/better sounds?

6. What priority have drivable vehicles? What amount of work is put into that?

1) will this game ever run good on windows xp using dx9? 'good' defined as 30 avg fps on black death track.

2) will you ever consider getting rid of steam and going to hyper-lobby format?

3) what pc components, drivers, supporting software...etc. do you now recommend to run the game optimally, given so much of the code has changed since original release date since the game was first spec'd out.

4) was the epilipsy filter a fraud? honestly, it was so absurd. very hard to believe in hindsight.

5) surprise, did you know that B6 doesn't even like CLOD?

6) did you hire any of the Daidalos Team member to work on CLOD when you put out those help wanted advertisements a while back?

7) will the final patch include moving dogfight server and rearm, refuel and repair capability?

8 ) after the final patch, where do we go to join 128 player battles online?

9) why did oleg leave? the real reason.

10) if you could do it all over again, would you?

11) is chivas a 1c bot?

Again with reference to the single player experience, what did you learn from this thread that YOU started. How has it effected your ideas of gameplay and which elements do you intend to implement in the sequel?

Also, I notice you never contributed beyond the first post. Did you actually read the suggestions contained in the thread?

Are you ever going to fix the severe particle effects fps issues without resorting to making the effect look like it was made with lego?

Hello Luthier !

- Can we expect one day to have a comprehensive manual for the FMB, including scripting ?
- The game has an incredible amount of features and systems modeled, but it's sometimes not easy to discern what is really implemented from what is buggy or not working properly. Could we expect to have one day a clear picture of that ?

Thanks for your time and keep up the work to bring us a enjoyable sim again !

Hi Luthier,
1. Please could you look into the netcode, its killing Multiplayer servers.

2. Could you reconsider your position on Co-ops, again this is preventing a lot of people from wanting to continue using your product now and in the future.

3. It was claimed that within recent patches a 50% performance increase was gained but as of yet I have seen no evidence to support this, in fact my performance actually dropped whilst at the same time features were taken out of the game. Could you tell me how I go about getting this performance increase or what system I should use to get the best out of CLOD, I currently have a i72600k running at 4.7Ghz, 2x GTX680 in SLI and 16GB of DDR3 at 1600mhz.

4. Could you tell us how you test your alpha/beta patches before release, many of them have broken has much as they have fixed and your customers are left scratching their heads wondering how you could of missed some of the most obvious bugs, such as the hurricane not starting. Also could you tell me what online servers you or your employees use to test the game.

Can we ever expect authentic looking cloud cover and weather environments that actually effect gameplay?
Also the buildings still pop up like they did in the original IL2. Has your new graphics engine fixed this awful looking problem?
Lastly has there been any progress on making the Ai work and fly like we would expect or are we stuck with either barrel rolls or no reaction at all?

Video of weather that actually works, smoke and fire that looks realistic, water effects that are immersive and buildings that don't pop up here:

Why not just buy that Graphics engine and plug your other stuff into it?

Waiting to see which questions get answered, I am sure there will be lots.

Cheers, MP

Can we expect bullet hit and flak sounds to be added in the next patch?

[jf1981]

Can we increase even more the degree of realism e.g. available & working aircraft systems ?

Just a side note, please remove the ever icing clouds, most of them are not, especially flying low, it's not that often sub zero.
