Ya well this is a direct quote from Luthier - 'No, we had planned on adding more BOB content, but this Furbs fellow kept saying there would be no additions, so we scrapped it.'

j/k

! Wonder if that's Larry, Moe, or Curly in the spitfire behind me! hahahaha

LOL bish

Exactly! It will serve for the sequel as well, but they might have to rethink things if we progress through the war.

No Il-2 product was ever backwards-compatible. You could not take a Pacific Fighters patch and apply it to an Ace Expansion Pack install. You cannot take graphic improvements in 4.12 and install them on top of the original Il-2.

The new line will work the same way. If you own the old product, you'll be able to install a new one on top of it; or you'll be able to get a compilation product like 1946 that includes old content from previous releases.

But once the sequel is released, there obviously won't be any more support for stand-alone CoD.

I saw the most people on the banana forum that I have ever seen 267... ...if you build it, they will come.

This is great news having some AI, Commands, and FM fixes included with the performance patch. The performance optimization should greatly reduce the CTD issues for most people, unless their home system is relatively low end or highly unoptimized. This should make the sim playable for most people, and have more people interested in building immersive and realistic/historic Battle of Britain missions and campaigns. With the release of the SDK, and more community involvement, the future for COD is very bright.

I still don't see the Sequel coming out any time soon so there could be plenty of time for another patch or two for COD. Those patches wouldn't include any major features as those would probably be saved to help sales of the Sequel. Although you will be able to add those features to COD, if and when we buy the sequel. ie Dynamic Weather. Thats if Dynamic Weather is even ready when the Sequel is released. Although I could see some aspects of Dynamic Weather being released and then improve it during the life of the series.

There used to be that mid-week with nothing to discuss.

Now that more people will be able to fly the sim the FM debates will begin in earnest. Actually there is a heated discussion on the IC forums about the FM's, (my favorite ride) (insert preference) (being porked), and they have yet to try the new FM's.

Chivas, told you no problem with working other stuff in this patch and they were only working on BOM.

Even if were getting no more content for BOB we can get other fixes pretty soon maybe. my hopes ARE some what raised.
