SO YEAH 40€ is a luxury here...yep, it is a big deal mate....

I've been telling this to many people: I know a lot of people who were huge fans of IL2 and just can't follow in Clod.
Their systems, though they can play decently IL-2, they can't even load Clod and this is pitty, cause some of them were among the best guys of the community.

It's really sad that this game will leave a quite big part of the community behind, only because of its performance and the costs involved...

PS. I spent 1.060 euros for a brand new tower, only to hear from some people that my performance problems are because of my system!!!
OK, next time I'll robe a bank in order to play this game...

You aren`t changing anyone`s opinion anyway.

Didn't Oleg have to bail Luthier/Ilya when he was developing Pacific Fighters?

As of TODAY, I have spent a total of 40€ to play this game. That is all I payed for giving those folks some slack. Payed for their jobs and payed them to work in the future. Now those who have stayed with IL2 since 2001 have every right and proof to say that the game will be great, in some time. Meanwhile, those complaining are doing just that - complaining. You must be quite a sad person to get a spazmatic cry over 40€.



Constructive criticism is always welcome. Your post is just another example of a person who needs to get a life, because obviously he doesn`t have anything else to do in his sad existance other than to sit in front of a pc.
I understand your life is shaterred.

My comment about Oleg was in response to a post, which I quoted directly, that Oleg was still behind this game, he is not; it was a simple statement of fact, so what is your point in bringing it up?

Now, show me your copy of the guarantee this will have support and be fixed in 2 years time, no? Did not think so, anything else is pure conjecture and blowing smoke out of your ass, I too want to see it fixed, but wanting and getting are entirely different. For what it's worth, I have been with the series since the very start and own every iteration and add-on, but that does not mean shit, and it most certainly does not grant special insight into this titles future, to assume it does is idiocy.

/quote " because obviously he doesn`t have anything else to do in his sad existence other than to sit in front of a pc". So just what were you doing while posting here, I seriously doubt you were using ESP to scour the internet; seems to me like a classic case of transference, you should deal with that, it is clearly something that bothers you.

Have a good day… Oh before I forget; its, "paid", "existence" and "shattered", may help to check before you post in future, lest you be taken for a moron.

Oleg is gone and has been for a while, which may be the whole problem.
Luthier messed up PF and CoD is strike 2.

This is actually a good thing for us, we may initially get a faulty product, but we now could have a product that will be continually added too and improved upon, instead of a development company that shuts down before the game is released.

Complainers that do so in a constructive manor are a great asset to the community, but there are more than a few that drive away new customers of the genre, which we all could ill afford. The only positive thing they do is provide entertainment, and keep the forums lively, while we still have a genre to participate in.

I agree 100% with Chivas' comments. I think that this sim has ENORMOUS potential and, for all of our sakes, it must be supported and the developers/publishers must be ENCOURAGED to keep improving/refining it!

Everyone is here complaining because they care, because they want to love the game, I guarantee everyone in here complaining is an avid flight sim fan, and wants this game to be the best thing for the next 8 years.

So unless the boards are taking away from the 1C company or causing some server to meltdown, you need the complainers, because from my stance the "complainers" are about 50% of the sales, and I don't see any new simmers jumping ship anytime soon.

LOL all will be forgotten in "2 weeks"
