This genre was always going to suffer limited success for crying out loud people how can you not see this, more people would rather play a quick "fun" fps than sit down and learn how to fly. That's why the console industry is booming people buy the same game month after month but just with a different title.

If you want this game to succeed then grin and bear the current set back.

EDIT: if I appear bad tempered and snappy sorry, i am suffering from a hangover and therefore I am feeling rather grumpy.

With particular attention to the last sentence this is very true. many of us are sitting back patiently waiting.

Personally im trying to discuss modding constructivly which allows others to take part in the discussions. it keeps me away from various annoyances that pop up. im a mature man. 37 years old, i cant afford to go about my life bitching about this that and the next. For many of you it really is time to shut up a bit already ! the reason is that there isnt anything more you can complain about that we dont already know. so this is my heartfelt plea. Please dont destroy my dream or oleg,s or anyones thats patiently awaiting further development with a positive attitude.

There are 2 types of people in CoD forums at the moment. Them with it and able to utilize it in its present state. And the nay sayers who post things to illicit a reaction. At the end of the day no one is turning the ship around and changing course. This is the newest and greatest ww2 flight sim aiming for a larger group of flight simers. Nothing is changing this. That ship has already sailed. You will go insane trying to defend it when there is no need to. Once it is released the flood gates will open. Just sit back and relax. And if you are one of the fortunate ones to own it now keep playing with it. That drives them even more batty then the post drive you.

Exact my thoughts Krupi, give it 6 months and then see..until we should just sit back and STFU.
But behold if they don`t manage to turn her `round :evil:

We "fanboys", as i've been called sometimes, at least have the hope of a brighter future for CloD,
the nay-sayers are just jealous because they have lost anyway:
either CloD has the bright future the most of us are hoping for -> they were wrong
or CloD goes down in flames -> they have lost the only non-obsolete WWII-Flight-sim that can reasonably be expected in the years to come.

I didn't what a knock the Sim thread, I still am looking forward to a smooth game someday. I was really interested in what others thought as to what could have happened to Oleg. To cause him to walk away from his baby, his dream, that he spoke of so passionately.:grin:

i bet oleg hasnt retired :)

i have a vague memory of him saying something about the ship not singing or something :)

Think it was Luthier who said that Oleg couldnt/cant just walk away even if he wanted to, something that seems to be the new "fashionable" thing to claim if you are on the "we knew this would happen" crowd. (another comedy gold moment btw)

This is the newest crap piece of software, unoptimized, barely playable on my rig which is i7920 OC 3.6Ghz, GTX470 OC 750Mhz, 6GB of RAM...with all my HW and SW knowledge and beta testing experince with some other sims Im still unable to play this sim (with all the tweaks) with decent performance and I dont want to turn off buildings and trees and to dergade already ugly neon landscape with low settings...I dont mind waiting for fixes but this is heavily porked and unusable (and will be for a long time) and thats what counts...If they aim at large group of simmers who are asking for realistic sim with more content, features and OPTIMISED software - they FAILED....
apart from teh very poor optimisatio nof this software - the bigest joke are sounds which are more or less stock il2 sounds...how many years if development to deliver a game with stock il2 sounds...15 yrs old...Luthier said they will look into sounds but that we cant expect anything for months........that a big goodbye, we have enough fun with ROF 1946 and IL2 HSFX/UP.
The only bright spot of CLOD is FM. But thats not enough for success.

Works for me :cool:
