Well the title of the thread caught my eye, and I was interested to see what SimHQ had to say, to be honest if I didnt pop into threads that contained bitching and moaning, there wouldnt be many threads to pop into.

As for reminding the people in charge people are still waiting? They are working on a patch, I dont think anyones negative posting is inspiring them any further

Are you serious? SimHQ has been around since dirt with a lot of credible articles and people writing them as well. They specifically work with developers and publishers and focus on Simulations. I would take a look at their staff's background then get back to me if you think they are just video game players.

What are your credentials?

Yeah thought so...

The article is spot on.

For me the golden times of SimHQ are long gone. Don't remember the last good article i read there. Nice to inform what new on the market, but nothing more.

This is the same tired old rants that are posted here in fact they read and are wrote very much a like so I would lean towards whoever wrote it writes the same opinion pieces in here.

I have looked at the background of "Tom Cofield" on SimHQ and did not see any indication that he had ever designed a computer game and brought it to market, nor any product for that matter, unlike myself.

He isn't a game developer but he does work with them and reviews flight sim games and has so since the start of SIMHQ.

Again your credentials are what now? So you have developed a game and brought it to market. Which one is that? Also just because you've built a game doesn't mean someone can't critque 1Cs failed attempt with COD.

The bottom line is COD is far from complete and it lacking many of the advertised features. It doesn't take a developer to point those mistakes out does it?

Anyways moving forward the point was brought up by not only Tom from SimHQ but by others including myself about using the DCS model. DCS did a much better job.

Thank you for confirming my observation: he is a guy who plays video games and writes about them. My point exactly.
