Kind of an interesting back and forth with B6 today. I would be very surprised if a complex sim would draw a very large following, but methinks its possible
MMO talk

I hope they don't do this till CLOD is fixed...otherwise you will have a buggy game X2.

It will be interesting to see how this MMO built on the new IL-2 game engine is going to effect the continued development of the this series. IC publishing could use their own development crews or hire new people, or will IC use Luthiers crew? Annoucement in June??

If they use the CLOD game engine it will have to be fixed. The MMO alpa is due in 2013. Whatever happens it appears IC will continue to refine the CLOD game engine, but the big question will be if it still will be applied to the CLOD series of sims.

This IMO will be the death nail for the series. The team has been struggling to fix COD without much progress forever now. Add the fact they were working on BOM and now the are hashing out an MMO. They have shown recently that they can't code their way out of the paper bags that have been slung over their heads, and now Luthier is probably all glossy eyed over the potential revenue of the current MMO craze. The MMO will be priority one for him now IMO, and he will sideline resources for COD and BOM to get it done. It's basically him with outstretched arms and both middle fingers extended to the community as far as I'm concerned.

I didn't read the article, but you can count me out of any IL-2 MMO for sure. I'm very unlikely to buy anything from these guys again to be honest.

Wow Force you're profiling right now

Well, all those the work on grass for a flight sim is now explained.

Sorry....just pissed....and shaking my head in dis-belief.

Will the MMO be released as a Alpha or Beta? will it need 2 or 4GB RAM? will it have a epilepsy filter? all these questions will or wont be answered by Luthier or blacksix maybe in 6 months if we are all good boys and dont upset anyone.
