The only sad thing is, that il-2 has a really good community, with loads of good ideas to improve the game. That proofs the first part of il-2 sturmovik! That it all turns into disapointment is understandable!
Look at all those arduous modders who played a big part in the history of il-2!
And even with the bad start of this part, they were very.... relaxed? And knowing to have such a good comm it`s really sad to see how they treat them!
I`m playing another game that had a comparable start an the comm was not really so empathetic like the one of this forum (and the devs were much much more communicative than they`re here, what is not really difficult...)! But.....i understand us!

To put a light at the end of the tunnel.... the other game is working good atm,...after 1,5 years it really gets playable!

This is a sorry bunch here, trolling for a response.

The quality of this forum...is pretty much the same as the game's.

That`s what i also thought...but c`mon the us release is today, and no word about it? I´m really relaxed and hope things turn into good by far, but a little bit strange it is...wait i got a call from chuc....no, I`ll not gonna turn into it!

I've kept very quiet about the whole developer posts issue mostly because I think my opinion is the one most unpopular with the majority of people who find the time to be big posters on this forum.

I remember when I bought games and I either had a good time with them or didn't and there wasn't even the thought in my head that I could ask the people who made the game anything about it.

I'm either going to take a bad experience away from buying a game that isn't working or a good one for enjoying what I can get out of it and feeling I got my money's worth. Hearing this that or the other from the developer is gravy and should be treated as such. When I was playing Aces over Europe I never once considered trying to contact them to tell them that they had their Spitfire wrong. It was a foreign concept. Anyway. It's great that the internet allows everyone such instant access to everything, but I don't think anyone can argue that it's raised the overall maturity of discourse on, well, anything.

I certainly wouldn't respond to the majority of the posts made on the forums here if I were them. But they did. And did. And now they don't. I think a lot of people arguing for dev comments are the same people that slam them for days and days and days and then say a little 'Thanks for the update!' after getting something out the devs and think that erases all the vitriol that's been plastering the forums previously. Then the cycle begins again.

Like I said earlier, I've kept mostly quiet about this stuff after watching it day after day. Anyone who seems to even suggest this kind of attitude gets attacked for it. So honestly, why would I even post about the topic? I suspect that there are a lot of other people who feel the same. Hardly anyone is going to take the time to write a 'I think things are going fine' post. The fact that we've had so many of THOSE (the "I hate whiners" type posts) is an indication of how polarized the community is getting here.

Bleh. Anyway, my two cents on the subject. I really hope the forums would be more about making skins for planes, or talking about cool dogfights, or posting pictures from airshows, etc., than the constant stuff appearing now.

I honestly wonder if another company made a better flight sim that was everything everyone wanted, would the people who are posting the mean spirited stuff here disappear to their forums and post happy posts about how great the game is or would they stay here to post even more mean spirited stuff about how that other game is better than your game and why didn't you do it like that?

Cause THAT'd be productive.

I personally dont need and want a weekly WIP update here.
But that there was NOTHING because the USA relase made me wondering- like a lot of other people here i guess.
Some short words would have avoided a lot if fuss the last days IMHO.

And btw, the subforums here are very good in replacing the lacking official documentation ofcthe game. There are a lot of very good , informative and polite posts!
If one understands english, these are the places to go to get you in the game. Tge manual leaves you alone in the most cases

Me for one.
Those who don't care so much say 'Bleh'.

Just because that kind of attitude works in the UK does not mean it works everywhere.

I still cannot believe how petty my fellow country men are on this forum, just because the fields don't have hedges a silly majority think that the whole game is rubbish..... really very VERY pathetic considering that in the grand scheme of things it is only a slight not hugely important detail that they missed.
