Thinking about purchasing BUT.

[lastchance]

This is my first posting here I do not have the game and are thinking of purchasing it but with all the negative posting it is putting me off.

Like some ones posting states six years in development ?

Even July/Aug issue of PC Pilot states there are still problems with running the game, somethings I can put up with like the bad AI incorect say skins or minor issues but if the game will not run well that's another issue.

I have just one question with all the patchs updates do's one have to goin Steam if so then I will give this a miss and stay with what I have already.

One last thing I have a high end PC and some 15 years playing with flight sims and this one looks so good but I just may not live long enough to see it in all it's glory.

Thanks for your time reading my post.

there is no DEMO , so, you are the only person that can answer the question - but only after you have purchased it.

try to get a DVD version , perhaps a refund (if wanted) is easier than as with STEAM.

In general , is it worth it or not - you will get 50:50 answers here i would guess.


If you are a "combat flight sim" crazy pilot - buy it. Even with its limitations. At least it should run.

It requires Steam.

Buy it. Add Jafa's sound mod and enjoy. It will get much better with future patches but if you are a WW2 buff like me, NOTHING elsecomes close.

If I was a cynical person (which I am), I'd wonder if the OP was an undercover 1C employee asking us what we really thought.

But whether you are or you aren't buy it now!

Don't buy it until/unless you hear people raving about it here. If they're not after the next patch consider it 100% dead.

You have no choice but to go through Steam presently. If you still decide go ahead with a purchase, I think it's fine to go ahead and buy the game now.

A lot of the complaints are from posters who have had the game for months, and are quite fed up with certain things that they feel have not been attended to in timeous fashion.
But if you're a hardcore simmer (and it seems like you are) there is a lot to take in and learn and enjoy, before some of the issues like radio comms become an annoyance.
Hopefully by that time, MG will have started to fix these issues.

Put it this way: 1946 is regarded as the benchmark, and yet there are many people that, after playing Clod even in it's current state, can't go back to 1946 as it just doesn't seem as realistic to them as it once did.

[jimbop]

Yes, good point about 1946, rattlehead. I think of it as 'the curse of CoD' since now I can't go back. The DMs are just so much stronger.

If your combat flight simmer. Buy it. Your investment will help insure we see many more years of new theaters and updates. I haven't found Steam to be a problem at all. It actually makes my life easier installing updates and checking my game files for errors if there is a problem.
