why not to distribute some free copies of the game so there are more players online?

[raaaid]

my point is that il2 won over cfs cause they didnt protect the game which translated in more online players

is like plants which let themsleves be eaten by their natural enemies in order to reach farther their seeds

oh cd games are like money actually worht very litle

so how would you solve the problem of the so few online players?

wouldnt it be best giving copies away?

even if it was given away many people like me would buy it

Your assumption/opinion is in error.. In that you equate IL2 to CFS where the only difference is that CFS protected the game.

Once you realize that error, you will than be able to look at all the other factors that 'could have' caused CFS demise. Off the top of my head, one of the biggest complaint about CFS was people could tweak the FMs with ease, which in turn caused a lot of cheating online. And that is just one example of how IL2 was not like CFS back in the day. Thank god tweaking the FM via mods in IL2 requires a lot more effort, otherwise IL2 would be suffering the same fate IMHO.

CFS wasn't protected, aircraft could be added & modded at will, this was, in fact, its downfall, initially IL-2 was lauded for its FM & DM integrity, the fact these were protected was the reason for its success.

I think he ment copy protected?

Or maybe he ment the color blue taste good?

Hard to tell with raaid!

(ps I don't think CFS was copy protected either by the way)

If your waiting for a WONDER WOMAN CoD SERVER.. You will have to wait unitl the kid-o's get tired of BF3 and MW3.. Which with thier sound byte att span should only take a few weeks.. Than maybe one of those Quake servers will put up a CoD server with realism set to zero for ya

[raaaid]

well the thing wonderwoman view is more realistic than cockpit view

you know you have binocular vision, you can move the head to look behind the nose

would it be a cheat if i used stereosocpic softawer and set each virtual eye so wide as to be out of the plane?

humm would that be ethical?
