I will continue to do the same with CloD, and buy whatever they sell, but ... If the relationship changes from customer of a finished product, to sponsor/financer/promoter of a promising project, then the consequences must be assumed by both parties.
Among those consequences, communication and transparency are paramount. The sponsors have right as a minimum to a certain clarity on the plans and on the status of the works. More communication, to keep motivation and build trust. This is not the case today.
Hopefully the arrival of B6 in this forum will cover for this lack and reconstitute some of the lost trust.

Have a great day,
Insuber

PS: as far as promoting, actually I am the only one of my squad flying regularly CloD in ATAG, and my squad mates look at me like a bit eccentric pilot ...

Well said, now this part that has been mentioned is the sole upmost aspect to gain trust, support etc for this and any other title that is and has been crippled as much as this one...end off

To this day nothing has changed on that front but hopefully it will soon, time will tell.

Wonder: "the feeling excited by something strange, a mixture of surprise"

something strange about COD: IMHO no
a surprise: IMHO no

see you next year...

A twidde of the knobs perhaps. Wouldn't expect any really significant changes for a good while yet though.

Sorry just a bit fed up with evasiv answers, on the 18 Nov should have been to an Alpha state... or so Luthier adviced us,... and... the Beta "within the reach"! What is the situation actually now?...This is a question to the devs, pls do not post if you do not have any conclusiv info!

The patch that was going to increase FPS by 50% as run into some problems, Luthier as now employed someone who doesn't speak English to tell us all about it and keep us posted. So far we have been thanked for all the fish and learnt that Oleg's old desk is not legal.

Although I mostly subscribe most of your writings... This one is hard. Even for me.

~S~

PS: When are you logging on ATAG again for some serious flying?

No he didn't, he employed a native Russian speaker to keep the Russian speakers informed not us, BlackSix has taken it upon himself to attempt to keep us informed himself on top of his actual duties. Which means everybody can go back to whining about being treated like mushrooms...

Patch is due this friday be sure!
