Will there be an online community for COD after BOS?

Either way I see no conflict, as over the next few years we will be able to fly a couple of different Eastern Front Theaters from the BOS developers, and BOB, probably Malta/N. Africa from COD/Team Fusion.

Agree it is good times!

This forum is not very much active anymore, but I do not post much except here, I read a lot what is happening at ATAG, there is much active posting there. MTO is coming for sure, there are the ships and subs already for this theatre, just when.

Most at the moment I play Malta Mod for COD, which is good missions, and wait for the correct MTO.

And there is much active on the BOS forum. I have not boght into this alpha, I will wait for beta, but already there are many features and many flying. It is looking with good promise!

Do not forget old IL2! There has just come the new 4.12 from Daidolos which gives the best AI ever the game has had.

The sim world is good and alive and for us who like WWII!

(But I don't mention DCS that one is an origami paper aeroplane who I think will never fly. I am glad I was not so quick to put money on that, if you read how people payed money but did not get the rewards they have promised.)

It's a very long time since anyone seriously worked at a senior level with 0s and 1s, you may have to cover them as a pupil, but even octal went out with 8 bit computers.

<edit>

So, this is a long ago post that I was replying to, sorry about that, but it still has to be said, computers are getting more difficult, and programming them becomes higher level to deal with the added complexity, yes it's all "0s and 1s" at the very lowest level, but you can't look at that level and make any sense of the things at all, unless you are God.

The point of the statement if you had quoted my whole post was that, any game engine code can be improved.

Its too early to tell how DCS WW2 will pan out. The good news is they have already created stuff for DCS, and are only creating more stuff on an established game engine.
Another positive is the new EDGE graphic engine currently being installed in the DCS game engine looks very good. Personally I received my P51 reward almost immediately after kickstarter finished. There definitely appears to be some confusion, on just what rewards, people are entitled too, and Luthier has been characteristically quite thru this process. And as usual his development team are having more than their fair share of setbacks, not to mention the long Russian Christmas/New years break. Hopefully things will get sorted when Luthier gets their website up and running.

Bingo! Thank you for navigating this topic through the misinformation and hubris. Very refreshing.

If it was that easy it would have been done long ago. TF has done a great job so far and I don't think they are done yet. Look forward to their future work.

Seems that DCS and BoS have been making some initial dents in the CloD player-base. I know of a couple of former CloD squadrons who have, for one reason or another, pretty much given up playing CloD now and have moved over to BoS or DCS.

However, that said, there do seem to be quite a lot of new players joining CloD. Last night, for example, there were 250 players online for a couple of hours, which isn't bad for CloD and is not terrible fewer than DCS had at similar time. I guess the challenge is to keep them playing Cliffs for longer than 18 months or so.

Hello I have return to see what is happening in Cliffs of Dover after much happy time in Stalingrad.

That sim is OK but I have need for more historical single play so wish to hear is there more new single player for CloD now or for Team Fusion or for the original not Team Fusion version?

I have looked on ATAG and see there is some updates but also for the version which is not Team Fusion? I like a lot the Team Fusion version but also the not Team Fusion version runs well on my mashine so anything for that version is also well.

Thankyou!

Hi, I don't know what you mean by the not-team-fusion version.

Are you looking for extra single-player campaigns for the Vanilla game?

The single-player aspect of Cliffs is still very limited. I think improvements will come with TF5, maybe. The best experience is really online.....

planespotter, if you are playing singleplayer, please check out the desastersoft-campaigns.

www.desastersoft.de

Probably the best campaigns you can get for Cliffs of Dover.
