Currently the developers are reworking atleast the graphic engine, and fixing bugs in other features.

Aircraft made for the other theaters, will include some that were used over England and France.

The Dynamic Weather feature will be available to all theaters when implemented.
There is no reason that any feature built for the series can't be applied to COD if its applicable. ie DX11 water etc etc etc

The SDK will be released to the community. This will mean every aspect of COD could change and evolve over the next ten years.

You are right that COD financed BOM........... then BOM will finance The Med, then The Med will finance The Pacific, then The Pacific will finance Europe, etc etc etc etc

Right now, I'm hoping the series will survive long enough for the SDK to be released so that the community can get their hands on what the developer couldn't afford to continue work on.

I admire your optimism Chivas I really do, If only it was all that simple. Approaching a year after release and I still have a broken game, lets hope Luthier can afford to fix it for me.

There are a lot of CoD owners who feel the same way. And yes if you buy BoM and they don't fix CoD you are asking to get ripped off a second time and that would be a sucker.

If they fix CoD, then no worries.

Anyway - I agree that I could have chosen my words a bit better - but do you agree on the rest of my post?

I for one agree 100%

Your post, like others wrt the cost of the software (game) relative to the hardware puts it into perspective

And your example only touches on the GPU..

Less not forget the PC itself.. An easy $1000.00+, nor should we forget about all the 'other' items people spend their money on.. Like $150 TrackIR, $300 Joystick; Rudders; Throttle, $200 speakers, etc.. etc..

And of all those expenses the game is the least expensive!

So I always get a good laugh at the people with the $2500+ plus list of hardware in their sig complaining about the $50 game as if their kids are now going to have to go hungry because their 'investment' in their game purchase didn't provide the returns they were expecting.. It just does not ring true!

Flight simming is an expensive 'hobby'! Which requires cutting edge hardware! Allways has been allways will be!
