How much so far on that road map has been fixed?

I rest my case. You're looking at the wrong map. You also avoided my comment about whining regarding what's not included in an update. You or I my not like the road map or progress of the sim, but if the map points to one place (nevermind how small the distance is) it is a plan. Asking why we're not farther along matters not one bit.



Don't get me totally wrong, furbs. There are those on the other side of the fence who are just as vehement as you are and don't add significantly to the overall forum atmosphere. We all know the game's not perfect....

I chalk it up to being disappointed after a long protracted build of CoD. I understand that. But there has to be a point where folks realize that kvetching or over abundant praise helps no one.

I think the moderators are trying to reach that medium. Unfortunately it has come to moderation of posts and topics... including banning of members.

Yep agreed robtek, just as the "nothing wrong with the sim and your not allowed to say anything bad about it" crowd wind me and others up. i dont ask people not to post how much they enjoy it and are happy with it.

about the FSAA, how many times have i and other people asked? all i want is a straight answer.

i dont mind if you or anyone else dont believe me robtek but my earlier post IS how i feel.

ive spent 1500 quid on a PC on the stories we was told about CLOD and how it would be.



All i see is smoke and mirrors, patch padding, no fixes and a sim that has failed so far.
I hope it gets fixed, i hope CLOD one day represents the battle of its name and not "air quake lone wolf engagement over the coast"

Im going to stop the tit for tat posting but im not going to stop posting my opinion because i hope Luthier reads these forums, though i doubt that too.

These people are a fiction, never seen a single post by anyone here saying theres nothing wrong.

Check out philip.ed's quote in my sig.. Even he admits we recived what was advertised.

As for 'stories' about what CoD would be..

Well they are just that..

Stories.

Combine that with peoples ability to blow things out of proportion and expect the moon and it is easy to see why some people are so upset..

That is to say that is a good 'reason' for them to be upset, but that is not a good 'excuse' for them to be upset.

Oleg himself said the AI would be much improved over IL2. its not...its much much worse.

Given the number of times you have posted this request... jeez... what a hypocrite

[SlipBall]

Both camps are guilty of complaining, most of them visible here on the boards. And then there are those that can use this game, but who use PM to luthier to complain of the aircraft shake...and so the game suffers

The AI in this game has some serious quirks, the mad rolling, especially with the big birds obviously noteworthy. But anybody comparing AI behaviour by taking a spin in quick missions will immidiatly notice the AI IS much improved. In IL2 I just had to go into a gentle bank and the AI would happily spend all it's ammo happily shooting into nothingness. Try the same here and ouch. The AI also does some really good scissoring and in general is a much greater challenge then in the old Il2.

Bewolf the AI do exactly the same thing in CLOD.
ive stopped playing single player because of the AI.
