Oleg's dream

[Timberwolf]

Its simple Anything you buy hot off the grill you run the risk of mistakes and flaws. My dad would never buy a car the first year that model would come out or the 2nd year.

That said you will have people that will buy something and whine till there blue in the face and bash others for there own mistake Or talk about people like they know them or know what that person is thinking and do the talking for them sounds like drama at the ubisoft / 1c company watercooler from people that have no idea what they do

I can't tell you what any of ideas or programming they have come up with or done ....But I know from my own eyes that Ubisoft held back Cliffs of dover from sale in North America for 3 - 3 1/2 months while other websites sold it world-wide at the same time ..So that leads me to think 1C company was given "upfront" money to devlop and bring forth to ubisoft and Justflight to do what they needed to do...sell and make money..Ubisoft pushed 1C to have a release date and already was selling it to Eruope without any upgrades or bug fixes while holding it on lock down in America Maybe because the idea of selling it in a american market it would get bad reviews due to a bigger media market ..Youtube TV gaming shows etc etc ..

Right now with my gaming .. It runs great no real issues
How often do i play? : i don't really play the game
why: I find ingame control of up and down is too bouncy I have yet to line up and level out level with a target
And yes its a game programed setting not my joystick or lag

Oleg...is history

So at the end of the day what do you want us to do for you? Would you like your money back? Seems like a reasonable solution to me. How about you guys? Give the customer his money back and ask him not to return?

What's your point? I bet there's not one sole in this thread that can make you feel any better about the emotional state you're in at the moment.

So what do you want here that we can assist you with? To delete or "shelve" CoD and come play with you? I just play CoD for now its all I can handle at the moment.

But really what's the goal of your post about all this? Tell us something we don't already know.

I deal with it and am use it now and I love it. Do you have a particular outcome that you or anyone that is in this thread has any control over that will help you in your time of despair?

Put on your big boy pants and deal with it.

Actually it works both ways,if you make any negative comments constructive or otherwise you will also be shouted down.
I hope Luthier and his team are allowed to carry on ,not sure what restrictions they will have time wise or financially.
The release in the USA will be critical and a good indication of any further commitments.
If it goes quiet after the release in the USA then we will know BUT if work continues for a year after it will be a golden nugget.
Olegs dream of an all encompassing war sim is a long way off as it stands but it could be a way forward.
If Luthier and team do finish then i hope the sim is opened up to 3rd party high quality modders.

It may be subjective, but the 'good-spirited' guys seem to create their drama for themselves. I've seen very few posts chastising guys for being faithful to CoD, yet there seem to be many posts claiming the victim role...
And to MD_Titus, regarding 'late' registration dates: Sooo you feel superior for having klicked on "register" earlier and played the anticipation game in full length, huh? Well, keep your beliefs, no issue taken. In fact, I don't even care. That's just too ridiculous.

Its way to early for most third parties to become involved, although the Battle for Moscow is a third party addon. COD and the game engine simply aren't finished or fine tuned yet so third parties won't become fully involved for another year or so.

Oleg certainly would never have released COD in the shape its in if he had final word, but the publisher held the purse strings and had final call. It could be one of the many reasons that Oleg has taken a step back from fronting the development.

That said their is still a very strong possiblility the issues will be resolved, and the new series will live even longer than the original IL-2 series. When the mod tools are released there will be much stronger support from the mod community than IL-2 ever had.
