Quite so. Returning aircraft numbers and status is tracked fully. WM

Yes Observers/Gunners are tracked and listed in your Pilot dossiers for your squad... each AI in your squad has his own mini dossier....claims medals Bio, number of missions, kills etc all tracked DM (damage modelling) is not done yet nor are effects - and that is all on our list...including the zep. Pol did mention DM and effects as still being P3. We are very very aware of what is leftover from P3 and it will be sorted. We will post progression vids at appropriate times WM

Both.... WM

Everything is being overhauled - its a new game out there.....in more ways than one. The AI code is fully rebuilt from scratch - by Rex. In a 10 min movie its hard to show everything we wanted and also give a good impression of what the AI are doing now in sim - Pol has done an excellent job! But there is so much to cover that the 10 mins is not enough by a long shot.... - we will post more as we go! WM

Awww Matt there are no weak tracks!! Thanks again for some awesome music..... WM

We will post something soon.... WM

You read the above post from Pol and then you follow the link in the e-mail and download your HITR. If you are still stuck contact us on support - we can verify your purchase and help further - but try to download it first? HTH WM

Did you buy and install HITR? WM

Oh yes....all new AI code for P4 from take-off, thru fighting, to landing.... but... You should be running into Aces that give you a good run - what workshop settings? Or you have become better than them by sheer practice - always a problem.... And you should not see the hanging steep climb except for certain craft very near the ground - have you got mods installed? Are you running HITR? WM

Hi Guys, We are working flat out and I have to say its looking damn good in all aspects but we have overhauled just about everthing and added so much to our requirements for P4 that it is taking longer than even we expected. But we believe that the wait will be so very well worth it. Have no fear we will not be rushed by these posts/requests but I can say this - our hopes of a 2011 release are probably now not realisable....and no that does not mean January 2012 either! HTH WM

Yes thats the plan... WM

Dont be so sure on the G forces and maneuvering effects not being implemented..... :-) WM

ALL 2 seaters are being overhauled.... ALL craft. WM

It is - the scaling of the OOB has been sorted.... WM

Even I dont have that sort of staying power....I dont think.... WM

Strange never heard of that one or experienced it unless your craft has taken damage during the mission? Specific craft or all or some? WM

As Ted says yep its a lot of work. But our intention is not to release an aircraft or aircraft packs without them being integrated into the campaign system. So buying a craft pack would include that functionality. WM

Perfectly acceptable - good man! WM

Not missed - manager is being uprated in every department WM

And I thought those two words would go unnoticed.... WM Yes so much more than graphics... be sure :-) WM

Hi Guys, Just to add a little perspective about P4 - P4 is not about adding craft per se - it is not really an expansion of P3 its a replacement in so many ways. It is about: 1) Updating all graphics, models, and scenery - as many parts are looking dated - and there is only so much that can be done but looking at our graphics compared to many flight sims and we are well pleased so far. 2) Overhauling the Manager systems 3) Overhauling the AI - completely - all new AI that leaves P3 looking like a err a game. 4) Overhauling the campaign system 5) Real outcomes 6) Expanded operations 7) Expanded realism and immersion And of course sooo many things that I cannot mention right now but that will be detailed closer to release. Phase 4 actually is not a phase..its a rework and replace and overhaul.... Having said that we are including a list of new craft to accompany the release. Once we have OFFIV released and stable we will then look at addon craft - probably in packs including squads etc but details will be released later. Are folks interested in 'packs' or 'expansions' or 'phases'? WM

Soon! and Pol is doing a great job on ALL craft - I am convinced that all who buy P4 will be blown away with the realism, no matter what side you fly for! WM

Time always advances even though your test flights are not logged... HTH WM

Thanks for understanding guys but rest assured we are working flat out on this - and no that does not mean lying down! WM

Be sure to backup the HITR download file - even to DVD - then you dont have to keep repurchasing! HTH WM
