There is no doubt that this is unfinished and I don't think for one minute that there has been any intention of the current 1C team to defraud anybody - THEY wanted to release a great product so please stop implying that you've been robbed. I'm convinced that Luthier and his team are under a great deal of pressure and want to deliver something fantastic in the end. This isn't BF3, they don't have 200 devs and multiple platforms to sell to and they have to meet the demands of perfectionist history nerds (I am one of them too....).

I'm flying this regularly and don't have many crashes, I'd rather not have them but it doesn't detract that much since a lot of the fun is in immersion, the CEM etc, flying with friends. I just don't understand how so many of you with the amazing rigs you show off on the bottom of your signatures can't get some decent entertainment out of it anyway, and for £40 - hours and hours of entertainment - it's CHEAP. The cost of your rig is nothing to do with 1C.


Luthier said they'll patch it, and will also merge the series - that's the news I am interested in. I'll wait for that since there's nothing else I can do - moaning at the devs will just make things worse possibly to the extent of pulling the plug the way some of you carry on.

I'd like 1C to consider the 777 model of buying aircraft - nobody whines at that and it's a more regular income.

As for content, who wants to fly the Defiant? 236 got murdered in a single sortie - why would you want to fly it yourself? Let the computer do it. I'd like to see IL2 opened for 3rd Party though where building maps and ground objects can be added in, then have 1C approve then and add as a patch. Even more so for flyables, with approval from 1C and then get them sold as per the 777 model - I don't see why 3rd parties couldn't take a cut of that development effort.

In the meantime I'll wait for the patch.


PS. According to my sig, it looks like Titus won't have to eat those chillis and post on you tube after all

I'd love to play online more, but since i suffer from this bug,

http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=27322

like quite a few others, having to restart the game after every nearly every bloody flight gets to be a pita. When this stops happening, i'll pick the game up much more.

So i stick to something that works, il2 and RoF, and that my squadmates fly, because many of them haven't got rigs that can fly Clod yet, because of real life commitments don't allow everyone to have a monster rig for CloD.

Plus dogfight servers haven't interested me since @2005, although i am following the user made work around for co-ops with interest.

I'll be whining (even) more heavily if the 777 model is applied with paying addon for extra "planes" with stupid FM à la Marvel.

No, No and no !!!

keep the crap out of CoD.

Regarding the Def : I'll be happy to fly her.
