Ya know, between this game and WitP AE I was sure I'd be playing ONE of them this summer. These are the two monster games I've been wanting for a long time. I understand Matrix has a policy of not making a release date public. I can maybe agree with that policy

. What I would appreciate, as a loyal customer and someone who will definately buy BOTH games when they get released, is just a little consideration for us. I don't need to know when the game is coming out if you're not sure, but have a heart. Just some more updates on progress or screenies or something

. Anything to show that the project is alive. Anyway, that's my two cents. You'd be getting a helluv alot more if the game was ready

I, too, was hoping for one of them or both. I figured I would be sitting on the side porch and trying to take the Pacific or bombing London. I am still hoping at one of them will be ready.

the best way, is to ask questions, I am not sure what anybody wants to see or hear, alot of stuff I would say, is with in reason, already said, now if there are questions, then I can repeat myself

so ask away, and I will try and show or tell you what you would like to know (other then is it done yet)

Thanks HARD, I guess when you wrote "I don't think it was an elaborate April Fools day joke" I got the impression everything was on hold. I'd like to see more screen shots if possible and get an idea of what's being worked on now, i.e. the AI, map, data base, whatever. I'm content to wait (sorta) until a good finished product is ready. I remember spending a ton of time on the first version (til the puter blew-up) that I already feel invested in this one. That's why a running commentary would be cool

. Thanks for your (and everybody else's) HARD work.

still be better with Questions

while we wait on new verison, I work on the data base, it is getting kind of large...

with the help of some of the testers, we been reworking the English map, so we got a much better set of targets, and in fact, more of the real targets, in the "game" a lot of times, when they needed something, they sort of added it, not saying the places may not be there, but in some cases, 20 or 30 years later !

we have reworked the radar sites in England, trying to get them correct, big hassle there is, who has the right info to work from, but in the long run, it looking like we got most of it worked out

lots of new targets, new areas, airfields (mainly for the LW side in BoB and both in BTR)

lots of new planes, and or different models of the different planes

still working on unit details, some units have tons of pilots, others are still pretty much drawing blanks

this is a screen shot of England with some of the French coast showing

Sarge,

I think you mentioned previously that you will have the ability to save plotted mission for later reuse. If so, how is this done and how many can you save?

Thanks Jim

no, I think I said we would like to, that is still something that is more on the wish list, then something we can do

sorry
