-TBC-AeroAce Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 I do wonder how far they will be able to go with this game engine. It does seem like it came with some limitations that they can't fix easily and that would have to be build into a new engine from scratch. 1

Probably makes more sense to continue to modify the existing game engine ? All comes down to time and money at the end of the day. Improvements have already been made over the years, and I can't see any reasons why improvement will not continue to be made in the existing engine.

I know it is essential to keep the workforce occupied and get new content out for sale asap. I guess informations like this is a cooperative secret and will only get out when they are good and ready Everything is subjective. I like the game as it is now, I enjoy flying it. Being a sim adds more layer of complextiy because if this was another kind of game, I would get bored easily. I love to fly career with the already existing planes, do some missions with my friends and such. These new things add more content and more quality to the game. Even some of them are free. As more new content comes out, more new things are added to the base game and more funds are also gathered. Edited May 14, 2019 by LF_Gallahad 1

Game already stutters from time to time when the servers are holding more than 50-60 ppl. Thers no chance this engine will handle pacific planes + carriers + online + ground units. Not to mention heavy bombers or anything simmilar. Im so frustrated by that fact. Edited May 14, 2019 by =VARP=Tvrdi 4
[APAF]VR_Spartan85 Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) I too enjoy the sim as is at the moment however, theres a list of things i would love to change, contradicting i know... one simple thing i would like to be able to do to compare franchises... DCS, open editor, create spawn points for playable aircraft on ground, save, load up server, and friend logs in, we fly for hours... IL-2, i dont know how to do anything.... I have to manually open ports? fortget it, just log in to exsisting server and fly, dont take to long on the ground or you'll get kicked for being idle.... i would like it if it were simple like dcs... probably the worst post ive made but meh...

I guess informations like this is a cooperative secret and will only get out when they are good and ready working as software developer and being asked for new stuff all the time is indeed annoying. But here is different, the community loves the devs, we are not pressuring them "or we gonna leave" or "not pay you anymore". Majority of people here even support the devs to take a long well deserved holidays. We are not a toxic community, we are just hyped about some new stuff arriving soon, I dont see anything ungratefulness in there. 2 8
[APAF]VR_Spartan85 Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 Ya, I’ll be playing this forever... well old il2 was my life before... then clod broke my heart... new il2 is my life now.... im glad they introduced the ww1 birds in as well instead of making a whole new game... ... 1 5

Feathered_IV Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 Looks like the website just got an upgrade. The topic pages are displayed differently now.
Jade_Monkey Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 Yeah, in mobile i see the button for last page displayed weirdly. 1

My personal opinion has always been that this is a well made game, It is just not made for me. But I still enjoy lots of the contend. in my experience things turn toxic very fast, but mostly by heartfelt well-meaning reasons Well I like to see and is curious about the future, I think it will be alright

Rei-sen Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 So, what do you guys think, is it going to be an update or a DD?

namhee2 Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 Who knows? Next update (223) after the game version 3013 .... Such a long silence, is very suspicious.
Jade_Monkey Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 Why would the silence be suspicious if they are on holiday?

I don't know about you, but my experience in office work is that any week after a long holiday is a write off - basically making up the lost time you had during the holiday, cleaning up left over issues, etc. I wouldn't expect anything major in the week after a holiday, or in the week leading up to it. Its just asking for trouble, people are either distracted or rushing to catch up. A DD isn't out of the question, but I have my doubts about an update before next week. 1
danielprates Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 It does feel like a development has been mounting up, hasn't it? All those holidays.

I didn't get it but thanks to you now I do. Bloody hell you could not get in to your food quickly with one of them.
Archie Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 Sale just announced until the end of May, so I wouldn't expect an update before then...
Jade_Monkey Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 The sale email explicitly says 2-3 weeks for the update. Time to go back to the game boys.

It is surprisingly fast to use. They stopped issuing them before I served but I’ve used them for hiking/camping. 1

I suppose if it is said in a published news bulletin, it is outside of the realm of the "2 weeks" internal joke .... right? Or is it?!
