Similar in finnish also, except more like "poor man cannot afford to buy cheap"..

This is a bit pointless to ask now since they are still working on it and likely want it to run as well as possible on all supported hardware. At release time we'll know if there is still difference in performance. Most optimizations usually occur quite late in software development and the devs are likely working on that at the moment (plus bugfixing etc.) So hang tight, it's not that far away now.. :music_whistling:

:thumbup: List of WIP is getting pretty short.. ;)

Very good news! :thumbup: Going to be very busy this year.. :joystick: :pilotfly: :D

I switched to warm cocoa when I switched job. :) Much better than the coffee you get from a vending machine plus you won't get the headache from too much coffee (stomach-ache on the other hand is a different matter entirely..) Edit: Previous job had thermos canisters of fresh coffee often so it was too easy to drink too much of that..

:thumbup: "Programmer - a device to turn coffee into code.." :D (Disclaimer: I know how that feels :)

:bounce::bounce: already planned to purchase from Steam.. why do you torment me so..? :pain: :D just take my money already! :pilotfly: :bounce::bounce:

Did you remember to spin whole cycle before "contact"? :music_whistling:

This is brilliant clip! :) Thanks for finding a proper one :thumbup:

Great news, as always here it seems! ;) :thumbup: Always brightens up the day to see these updates, keep up the good work!

Just out of curiosity, do you get access to maintenance manuals, technical training manuals and so forth? Or does the cost and use of that kind of information prohibit the use of those as sources?

Nice! :thumbup:

Another one that I would like to see some day: Fouga Magister :)

Until it becomes sentient and takes over.. the World! Mwahahahaa! *ahem* Did I just say that out loud? Seriously though, AI can be made believable but still rather dumb and predictable by just throwing more scripts at it for different conditions, but that ends up causing huge performance problems the more units there are. The things that seem ok for a single AI unit alone seem really dumb when there are plenty of units all doing the same thing. So some kind of group-level AI or faction-level AI would be more useful than improving just single unit AI? Also having over-powering AI is no use either (if it would be possible even..) Anyway, interesting to see where development will lead to ;)

I can haz nukes!?!? *brain meltdown*

Just amazing.. I'm speechless.. I mean, this IS stunning! Brilliant job guys! :thumbsup: Edit: I mean, this might be first time there is true simulation where there are no jagged edges or over-glossy surfaces.. That matte surface-look is just in it's own class now!

Looking very nice indeed! :thumbup:

Thanks for the update! :thumbup: Always interesting to hear about progress and "behind the scenes" development :)

Good to hear about this. I can live without the physical extras as long as modules can be completed. Thanks for the update. :thumbup:

Game development teams nowadays have ten times as many people: 50 people might be considered small team in some cases.. And the budgets are much higher of course. Plus there is the fact that for games you may just "wing it" and it does not have to be that precise if it just looks good. High quality simulations are entirely different matter.

Looks like development pace is quite high now ;) Nice going! :thumbup:

Great news and thanks for sharing! :thumbup:

You are absolutely true here :) This is another thread that has devolved into childish arguing of entirely off-topic issues.. Like it was said before it only adds more work which could be used elsewhere at the moment. Relax, people. Guessing of release-dates etc. is rather pointless now and trying to find meaning in the chaos and "white noise" of all that is going on. This is like looking at waves in water instead of the boat making the waves and trying to predict when it arrives to the shore.. It will be released as soon as it is ready.

Thanks for this! :thumbup:

:D
