Seriously, picture this: Imagine if every single game you bought you paid $50 for, then had to stick it on the shelf for a year. Would you really be happy not being able to play your games a year after purchase? That's how it is for us offline flyers. The AI is so porked it's not even playable. It doesn't have to be perfect or bug free, just playable and it's not.

That's what's happening here. Yes, we all know it was released a year to early and they needed our money to continue. The thing is, we're gamers not loan officers. It's made worse by the fact that we didn't realize we were in the loan business until much later.

DCS made People (me included) pre-order A-10 a year before it was completed before they 'allowed' them to download their beta. What is the difference there? Did I feel disgruntiled? No Way!

We in the west had a couple of weeks of Russion reviews of COD before it was released. I like 'most' other WWII combat flight sim enthusiasts reflected upon that before we bought the sim. 'We' made tha call that it was worth putting up with the problems to get on 'our' hands on the sim early. I for one have no regrets.

Hey a 'lot' of people bought the Russian release version (wasn't it US$17.00 or something like that?) That was their call. 'Most' said it was worth it to get their hands on it a week or so before the rest of us.

If you are dissatisfied about your purchace, I'ld suggest you move on to bigger ande better things. life is just too short! You never know in the (near?) future a patch may come along that matches the game up with you expectations of a good sim. If that happened then there is nothing stopping you from reloading it on you PC and enjoying the experience. But if it doesn't then you haven't wasted your time.

Cheers!
