On that note, this goes out to all.. If a $50 dollar game is something you have to factor into your budget.. Than chances are your hobby (PC flight sims) is a hobby you can not afford at this time. I would recomend another hobby like checkers or chess (the real hands on version, not the PC game version). It too will give you hundreds of hours of entertainment for a small investment (less than $50) and you don't need a $1,500 dollar PC to play it.

Default Wait for what?

How much does it cost to have fun?

$25 for the Movies @ 1.5 hours

$50 to go to a fair @ 4 hours

$20 for a pizza @ .5 hours

$35 for a book @ varies

$25 for IL2 COD @ 500 hours to date

Seriously though, most entertainment is purchased without the knowledge of just how much fun you might get out of it.

However, if you ask yourself...

1) Do I love ww2 aviation?

2) Do I love tactics and strategy?

3) Do I love simulating air battles against others who also love 1, and 2?

4) Do I love competition and comradery?

Chances are that if you already have an interest in combat flight sims, the cost is irrelevant.

ASUS Sabertooth MB--Intel 2600k@4.7--EVGA GTX580 3GB--Corasir 1200 watt psu--Corsair 8gb 1833--Corsair H70 cooler--Corsair 650d case--OCZ Vertex 3--Track IR5--CH Eclipse Yoke--CH Trottle Quadrant--CH MFP--CH Rudders

I love looking at it that way,

354 hours at £29.99, is £0.11 Pence per HOUR!

...and the price just keeps going down!

Priceless!

I appreciate all the different opinions, but iv made my decesion. Im definatly buying the game. Iv looked around and everywhere iv seen is still selling it for $50, I dont mind though. Im a private pilot in real life, so im sure the learning curve wont be to hard for me, also iv played flight sims for a few years now. I have no problems playing on low settings with low resolutions too, so im more than happy to support this company and hopefully they can make a great game in the end. If I dont support this game now, who's gonna make a new/better one? See u in the air soon enough!

Good call,
This game had been on sale for 30$ even $9 bucks!
I missed the 9$ sale but at least i got it when it was at a discount at 30$

Always fun on ATAG server, But there are many rooms starting up Spits vs 109's ect.. the player base grows every month and with updates on the way many are seeing a brighter day ahead for Clod.

I spend 50 bucks on a night out. Spending 50 bucks on Cliffs of Dover has saved me LOTS of money. Plus made the streets much safer since I am not out driving.
