Not really interested mate, as I said, I would like what I paid for over a year ago to work before I even think about shelling out more money to 1C.
Saying that I do have a nice tea towel with a map of the Channel on it, worth £50 I would say

Seems like a win win situation to me. Either the game is still in deep trouble and the developers are stringing you a line whilst struggling to get on top and it may never be sorted, in which case, 'Hooray! You were all right and fully justified in your outrage'.

Or the work for the next update is indeed finished and just needs final assembly and a little testing to be safe, in which case, 'Hooray! We are well on the way to the best WW2 combat sim ever'. How cool is that?

[_YoYo_]

Worse and worse and worse.....
Very sad the news.

Is it too very difficult to put patch for community :

Radio communications
AI
Clouds
Some of bugs of avionics?

Its only scripts! So no difference in Dx9, dx8 or dx15....or MMO or what You want.
Pity, still too same. Lose my hope after each Friday news .

Certainly you have been flying flight sims long enough to know the first year is always tough.

FB, AEP, PF, 1946, all improved upon the previous il2 versions. I expect nothing less from BoM.

Furthermore, if you have not flown the sim over the past year, you ripped yourself off.

I do still fly it mate (230 hours logged), and also spend a lot of time doing RAF skins for other people as well as my own enjoyment,
however I am part of a squad and the great hope was that we could move on from 1946 (modded) to this for co-ops etc.
However as the Channel map (the main reason to buy a Battle of Britain simulation I would have thought) cannot be used
and the other 'arcade' kiddy fantacy maps are no good for a BoB Sim (in my opinion) we have all but dropped the idea of using it.

As for the 'first year is tough' bit, well, from its release 1C have been stringing us along with promise after promise that transformed into
basically saying that CLoD will be fixed when BoM is released.
Now I read this, possibly incorrectly, that we will need to buy BoM for a complete fix to CLoD, a game we have all spent money on to purchase.
