Uther, let me get this straight, you think MG who are in the business of making money from flight sims would sanction the holding back of information on their products as some sort of "punishment" to a internet forum? you have really got to be off your rocker!
That would mean they have been "punishing" us on a regular basis for last 2 years.

It's been pointed out that both Rise of Flight and DCS:A-10 also needed quite some time after the initial (beta) releases to fully mature. That's true, I bought both sims the moment they were available. And none of them was perfect. Or is, for the matter. But if you compare the developers' communication the difference between 777 studios, Eagle Dynamics and Luthier is nothing short of amazing. The only explanation I have is that CloD's team is extremely understaffed and Luthier basically sits at his PC, coding 24/7, simply having no time for anything else.

Again: I don't need weekly updates. If there's nothing to report, report nothing. But give us something substantial every now and then.


If he doesn't, somebody better explain it to him. If he does understand it, then the implications are far more ominous. Like he doesn't give a damn. That thought makes me uncomfortable.

The other 2162 times I said it I was joking, but now I'm serious.. smile

We're probably reading a lot into this, as in B6 is tasked to 'do' something and feels under-pressure and the guy that used to not post frequently is now not giving him anything new to say - which makes sense, as we know it's not 'the time it takes to post' that's the problem, it's the 'how do we say the right thing' as being the real work.

I agree with others here in that PR and community is something the CloD team handle as elegantly as a fish on a bicycle, so reading THIS IS THE END into the usual 1C PR clown car procession is too early to conclude.

I agree.. not looking good at all. frown
I'm starting to think the CoD goose may be cooked.
Most major business's have to deal with a disgruntled public on a daily basis.. right or wrong, if they handled them the way IC is going, then they would not be in business for long.

In other news, the natives are revolting on the RoF forum as well, so maybe all is not well in flight sim land today.

Ok. Tin foil hat on.

I think 1c is slowly trying to walk away from this mess of a game. Luthier stopped posting and now we get Black 6.

I predict Black 6 will slowly stop posting then one day put up a post saying something like:

"We have decided to stop work on this game. We can no longer deal with personal attacks on us."

[Admin Edit]Sorry, you can't make that accusation here[/Admin Edit]

So that would mean there "IS" a update then right? the update is done and is being held hostage until we stop being mean to Black6?

Come on Uther, i dont believe one poster here or at 1C would believe such bollox, esp not you.

The reason there is no update is the same as last week and every other week we dont get one, there is nothing to show.

Come on guys, it's nothing so sinister... The dev team is simply stuck in line, waiting for iPads...
