You don't even own the game, why are you here!

I've spent many, many hours playing Pacific Fighters and 1946 and loved every minute! I look forward to the many hours to come playing CloD now that it's patched.

Thanks Luthier! You've made an enormous contribution to something very important, not only a seriously exciting and convincing experience in WWII aircraft but a deep desire to find out more about one of the most important periods in our history.

I really hope this is not your "Final Message", we all look forward to someday hearing about your next project. Best of luck, with my sincere gratitude.

Thanks Ilya for 2 wonderful sims.

I have flown with the Il2 series since the start, joining the forums a couple of years after that. Scince then both of these passtimes have taken up nearly all of my free time. At one point I was flying several hours each day and dreaming only of how to outwit other pilots! It sounds a bit crazy, I know, but that was how it was. It was so dangerously captivating it almost ruined my social life and mental well being. That's how good it was!

Thanks for bringing back my childish passion for play.

It's been a great time, and will continue to be. The game isn't dead, it just won't reproduce anymore . It's sad, but these things happen. As it is youv'e presented us with some wonderful things. They are muched loved and you should be a very proud father.

CoD - I was hoping that the worst was over, and that from now on development would move steadily forward. I really had my hopes up that this would continue the same way the original game did.

I can't thank you enough for saving us with the Final patch. I'm just sorry it wasn't enough to save you.

Thank the entire team from me. I know that they have contributed enormously and that it is only because of their marathon effort that CoD has been able to be saved.

BTW is a little Korean War sim too much to ask for?


Keep flying high. And good luck.... no... Great Luck!

its a shame, i was really hoping on seeing the engine working as it deserves some day. i have great fun online but i feel that the engine has much more to offer . its ahead of any other sim despite the defects in terms of complexity imo
good luck with your future projects.

Thanks so much for all you have done for us Luthier! I salute you. What will you do now? It's sad to see that one of the icons of this great flightsim has gone missing

S! and regards Rowddy.
