Too many "sequel" words IMHO.

I understand that if I want a quite finished Clod, I have to buy Clod2.

It will be nice if, before releasing any kind of sequel, Clod will be finished: it is a matter of respect for those that buy Clod months ago, considering the the actual status of the game. Anyway, I'm sure that Clod2 will be on market before completing Clod.

To be honest, only a fanboy can actually think to buy Clod2: oh, maybe I will buy it, as I bought Clod even if review were awful... but my stupidity - perhaps - is not endless...

That is the whole point.. IL-2 was NEVER FINISHED!

1C kept it alive for 10+ years by providing free updates and paid for updates (sequal)

Thus I wouldn't expect them to change thier track record with CoD..

As a mater of fact I am couting on them not changing thier track record with CoD!

c'mon, It is clear that no one pretend 100 flyable planes, 50 campaigns and so on for Clod.. but actually Clod is an approximative game considering each aspect of the game, so it will be nice if before talking of the sequel some significant (and definitive) improvements will be release. It is a matter of good taste...

Not sure I follow ya?

But know this, the original IL-2 was a Russian front only game.. And the focus was on ground attack, hence the IL-2! As a mater of fact, IL-2 was one of the first flight sims to focus on ground attack, prior to that it was all air to air, but I digress.. The point is each patch and sequal added more to IL-2

Enh.. its a matter of the FACT that flight sims are a niche market IMHO..

We either work with the developers and get what we want in time.. Or we demand something and stand the chance that we get nothing..

Take a look at SH5! Those developers left everyone hanging and no amount of beyaching changed that, as a mater of fact it is MHO that the amount of beyaching only confirmed it demise

In summary.. If I was spending $500 bucks on a flight sim instead of the $50 bucks I do spend, than I think all the whining would be justified by all.. But when you consider you can spend $50 in less than a few hours at the local pub it really puts it into perspective.. At least it does for me!

Long story short, if spending $50 bucks on a game is actually factoring into your 'budget' than I think it would be well advised that those types find another hobby! Something a little more affordable.. Like checkers! One time investment on a board and your good to go until the big dirt nap!

What is more stupid :

-Talk about the Moscu theater where the modelers, once finished his work in BoB, are started working while the programers fix the game´s core.

-Go to a game forum to call the fans of the game Fanboys and stupids for buy, play and talk about their precious game, and wait improvements by the way.

+to Bongodriver for the prediction.

The graphics are being rewritten, the sounds been rewritten, the AI, the physics, its all been rewritten because its broken old outdated code that doesn't work very well.
CLOD is toast.
Why else would Luthier say all the features that were supposed to be in CLOD will now only be available in the sequel?

The development team are a joke IMO. The whole development of CLOD from start to now has been a joke. 7 years in development? ...a joke. Olegs vanishing act on day 1 of release?... a joke. the epilepsy filter...a joke.
Almost a year after release and CLOD still has many many bugs, problems and missing features that they have given up and moved on to a sequel, im willing to bet BOM will be a stand alone and not be able to be merged with CLOD because they will have binned it.

Clearly your not a programer..

Because if you were you would understand that upgrading the graphics and audio engines does not automaticaly delete all the..

3D external plane models
3D cockpit models
3D map models
FM code
DM code
Network code
etc.. etc.. etc..

All of which can be reused..

That stuff is the bulk of the sim

Not the eye-candy!

CoD would NOT be the first game to upgrad its graphics engine

[furbs]

Almost EVERY feature of CLOD is broken or bugged or missing.
FM
DM
Weather
Radio commands
Ground handling
CEM
Track recorder
Sound
Map features
No CO-OPs
Radar
Single player Campaigns
Memory leaks
Exe crashes

This is after 7 years of development, almost a year after release and 4 patches.

Yes, most flightsims are like this....give me a break Ace, il have what ever your smoking.

Edit...i forgot... no FSAA and a UI that still looks like its been made in 1995

I know somethings that will not be in the sequal - the programmers....


Bwahahahahah.
