I'm getting CTD's now and I didn't before. At least every other flight. reinstalled twice and no change. So sad indeed.

Agreed. This game has so much potential, not just visually, and it is so obviously not complete. So, yeah, I suppose I do "cry a little inside"; but more than anything, I'm really worried.

I just really hope that the developers don't become disillusioned and frustrated and give up on it.

Like the original, this platform has the potential to be the next "gold standard" in CFS's.

time will aid this game . . .

they will slowly hammer out bugs and stuff . ..

and as pc hardware develops, this will help because the beast of a machine required for this game . . . will become affordable as the brother of the beast (octacore or sexdecuple 16) becomes the new powerhouse . . .

stable engine then the theaters will arrive.

best sellers will be late european / pacific and korea

then once the engine is stable, come the SDK everyone wants.


Then there will be lots of crazy mods, but then a SDK of great quality will happen.





forget about this game being the gold standard for prop combat sims, i'ts too late because Rise of Flight took the title (according to the forums). And silver.

They are not going to give up on it...they have already given up on it. Blacksix has said this expressly, and it has been heavily trailed. It's name is writ in water...which is a good or bad thing, depending on your POV.

There are the formalities of the patch, a bit of goodwill laundry to attend to, and then all attentions elsewhere. Not if, but when.

I dont see that there's any hand-wringing to be done about this. It has been obvious, and known, for a long time. The questions isn't about retrospectively merged installs or anything like that, but A) Whether the tools are in place for the user community to do anything with it, B) Whether the community wants to run with it, and C) Whether any such tools are up to the job or have to be hacked together from scratch. And then D) Whether there are enough people who care to play what is put together in future (apart from the die-hards, that is).

Expecting the developers to allocate any real resources to this game now= picking a spot on the wall and banging your head against it.

It could also be argued that putting it out of it's misery is the kindest thing that could be done to it in the cirumstances. It has been the most-waited-for
resurrection since...well...some bloke on a cross.

It may continue, but not as we know it Jim. Falcon4 is a good example of what happens when the community takes over and runs with something.

Falstaff, yes your right they have stopped adding content but they are fixing issues, yes I am disappointed that features are missing but features can come with the next addon as long as the game is running well and the FM's are good I am happy.

Apart from the reds fm the game is running quite well so may I suggest that you either keep on taking those antidepressants or unbunch your panties...

That may be true from your point of view, but mine differs. Lacking coop (complicated to use and AI can't fill empty pilot slots), stupid AI, missing radio commands, channel map anomalies leave not enough for me to enjoy flying it. Good for you and all others, who can.

oh don't get me wrong it's not perfect by any stretch of the imigination but multiplayer is far more polished than the single player side of the sim.

Luckily I don't care much for single player but if I did I would be playing rof, they finially for around to working on that last year and it is very good.

Its the lack of an esay Coop feature thats killing the game along with the netcode, I cant wait to have this fixed. On Atag the most popular server you only have a stock skin which IMHO kills any immersion that the game offers. A proper dedicated server is what this game needs with an easy Coop system so we can get some online wars up and running. To ignore these features is frankly very dissappointing and very short sighted.

I agree with skins but we both know sooner or later that someone will turn up with a red baron spitfire/109 and immersion will drop to rock bottom. In terms of skins what is required is a similar system to what ROF uses. A official user voted historic skin pack that you can download and install and so anyone who also has the skin pack can see your skin.

I agree, but unfortunatley that needs some input from the Dev's but it seems this is not even on the radar at the moment.
