PC Pilot review of COD

[Rattlehead]

The blurb says preview. (?)

I endorse that decision. Until 1C consider it fit to fly for the US launch it ain't ready to be reviewed. Preview it!

This title is on sale now at full price, if it's not ready for review it was not ready for release, most serious US simmers already have a copy purchased from other markets. 1C are damn lucky many publications are holding off on their reviews giving them time to sort it; but they won't do so for ever.

Not 1c and Ubi alone is lucky, every wwii-flight-sim-fan is lucky because of the delayed review.
As better the review as better the sales, as higher the possibility of a bug-free sim and a sequel!

Me, personally, im more interested in any new news about MS Flight since I already know CoD is just a buggy paid beta dropped on the un-suspecting public for some quick sales.

You may want to review your statement again.

In fsx, if your machine can handle it, you can run full international flight scheduling online or off. At major airports, this means you always have an aircraft on the runway, several at different stages on the taxiway or apron and many more in the air on approach, requiring the pilot to follow proper taxiway, ifr/vfr, atc, and stack procedures just to get into the air and back down.

Online it goes even further, with folks able to operate as air traffic controllers for large groups of simmers flying real airline schedules from all over the world. While FSX is not as popular on line as it once was, it is still possible to fly online with many more people than the largest il2 server ever had. Many groups are still active, with many real pilots in their ranks, the largest of which is VATSIM with over 250,000 members worldwide, within which, you have many virtual airlines. There may not be as many dogfights as a military sim, (although this too is possible with the right add-ons) there are still more than enough aircraft to interact with should you wish to find them.
