Hi guys,

I am a long time fan of IL-2 series and play IL-1946.

All the issues around IL-2 CoD (beside my outdated system) kept me away from getting it.

My questions is, are the main issues solved? Is the at a playable level and what is a good system to play it well.

Many thanks in advance.

Regards,

Michael

I was going to leave it as 'on the shelf collecting dust' but I suppose that isn't very helpfull.

A new graphics engine has been introduced in an alpha patch (plus hotfix) but this was mainly for testing and bug reporting purposes. there are numerous issues acknowledged by the developers which they say they are working on. In particular trees are a known performance issue as are clouds and grass.

ETA for improvements being implimented....Your guess is as good as mine.

No, most of the main issues are still there, not much in the way of fixing the original issues have been fixed. Some of the issues introduced after a few of the patches were released are fixed, but there is still little progress on fixing the script, AI, FM's, DM's, dynamic weather, clouds, Crossfire (or SLI), and other inaccuracies have been done. On the plus side, the game is capable of running on lesser systems now. While I'm not sure of the real minimum specs needed, it runs quite well (fps wise) on a mid system. Mine is a i7 920 @4.0 Ghz, 12 GB RAM, GTX 560 Ti w 2Gb.

Don't look at the original release videos either, the graphics qualities have been reduced from those standards (and probably why it runs better now).

I wish they'd stop trying to improve performance and instead focus on adding content... like a real, immersive dynamic campaign with ranks, news and other period pieces that make you feel like you're there.

It is for that reason alone I won't buy it. Oleg has NEVER understood that stuff like this is important.

And why shouldn't it have been ?. IL2 was pretty much the undisputed King of the hill in combat sims and CoD was the next generation from the same stable. As to more umph it is a bloody tragedy that a developer could have such an army of fans who believed in them as they did and to then see it like it is today.

Anyway, tomorrow is Friday and if we are very lucky we might see a faithfully modelled Russian outdoor Khazi circa 1941.

Likely the death warrant was signed when Oleg left the building..

Or perhaps even before as I think the thrill had run it's course. Think of all those years in the laboratory.reading

Meaningless speculation in any case. The question remains; is it redeemable? Are there any risky enterpreneurs willing to take a chance?

Luckily Oleg had alot of fans from his original series. The investors seen there was enough sales of COD to warrant further investment to finish the sim. It appears the investors still have faith the game engine can be fixed as they're apparently about to announce the development of an MMO using the game engine. There have been patches, but progress has been very slow, as the graphics engine had to be rewritten. The fact the development is still working on the game engine does give some hope.

I sure hope they recoup their investments then. It's been a long road and many staunch defenders have fallen off the bandwagon it appears.

Yes, the unfinished release, and the very slow recovery has taken its toll on most of us. I said years ago I didn't think they would be able to enable all the features they talked about with playable frame rates. In fairness Oleg did say along time ago that features would turned down or delayed depending on the sims frame rates. That said I was shocked at how bad the AI, and AI Commands where at release and at present.

"Oleg: When we are designing the engine we put in anything we want or can and we're not very much afraid that there is not currently a PC that will run it well. However, when we are close to release we "cut" some features to get the right working gameplay - to get it playable with good FPS. Those features that were "cut", we will release or open later, when the new hardware will be coming. In the same way we did for the IL-2 series and it's why our old engine is still looking modern."

I'm sure at the time Oleg didn't think he would have to release such an unfinished sim.

They are definitely in over their head's. Maybe they could steal away some writing talent, by offering more money...I still laugh when I think of all those crash/dump logs they must have gotten. Laugh in a sad way that is jackolantern

Odin's Beard, I go away for a few weeks and the Extended Forum is like a time capsule. Like a Flying Dutchman of forums, where the cursed roam the seas complaining about something for an eternity - doomed to wear sad-faces on the lack of Oct100.

How about a new game idea:

Dance Dance Revolution: IL2 CloD Grave Edition!

"In this new blockbuster from Konami you get the chance to blend classic, heart-pumping DDR gameplay with new IL2 centric features:

- Stomp on the franchise's grave, with double-plus bonuses for rhythmic complaining

- Smash the end-of-level 'Oleg' boss in the Dunkirk Dance Off!

- State of the art Graves to dance on - with all your favorite tunes!

Available: Fall 2012 or two weeks. TC&E apply. Does not include 'I Told You So Version XVII' or 'It's Probably a Tumor' DLC"

To be fair, we are talking about Cliffs of Dover !

To be even fairer I took a Spit up on the ATAG server last night and had a great dogfight with a 109 over Folkestone. We both ended up going home but it wasn't through lack of trying on either side.

I keep waiting to hear something good about Clod. Every now and then I am tempted to buy it. After all, the price on amazon is a trifle, but then so many who have Clod say not to waste my money. I do appreciate the honesty. For now I will wait for another developer to take up the challenge of a good WW2 combat flight sim.

I'm surprised you're not more interested RoFfan..

For single player reports, these are some that don't dwell just on the negative:

When I jump into a cliffs plane I feel like I'm flying a plane built in the 1940's. It has an authentic feel to me.

Yes there are bugs, and some of it is frustrating, but I still like to fly my Hurricane.

The single player campaigns made by Deadersoft are good.

There's plenty of reasons to spring for it on steam if you are a hardcore flight simmer.

Caveat - I treat it as a study sim in progess , not as a complete game/sim/finished product.

Is it still a steam d/l only game?

If they'd released an offline/campaign version I'd have bought it.

That is a bizarre response, but somehow strangely comforting. Makes me think of 1965,
and the advent of Mod, when we clueless north american proles had to learn all about
fabrics just so we could be cool in high school: "It's a real wool hounds-tooth, man,
I will be so hip!"

1C, who own MG, are one of Russia's largest software publishers (in business software and not just games). If they want to I imagine they could fund it forever.

I read that sales in Russia were pretty good, plus I imagine Battle of Moscow would do well over there as well.

I believe they could, but I do not think they are in the software branche for a charity cause, I even go as far as suspecting - God forbid' - an actual financial motive behind their activities. Now, CLoD sales been and gone, there is nothing more to be fetched out of it, there is no money to be gained "finishing it". What you are seeing is BoM development budget driving patching the CLoD as far as feasible (for BoM development) and that's it, so in this regard I would not make too much hopes for some additional CLoD specific content. Also,as I see it, they are also not in an immediate time pressure to deliver a patch, they need to have that duct tape fix for the engine about the time of the release of BoM, CloD customers serving conveniently as beta testers for BoM engine is just an added bonus...what matters more for BoM sales then, are the reviews BoM receives, not the level of customer satisfaction from CLoD purchasers wink

Whole thing has a flavour of Puzo's "Fools die", Oleg fitting the part of Osano the novelist...

I still think they can pull it off, and all of us will love the stable new Clod. Its summer time, and I have plenty to do till the release of the patch. I almost hope that it dos'nt come out to soon. exitstageleft

Also,as I see it, they are also not in an immediate time pressure to deliver a patch, they need to have that duct tape fix for the engine about the time of the release of BoM, CloD customers serving conveniently as beta testers for BoM engine is just an added bonus...what matters more for BoM sales then, are the reviews BoM receives, not the level of customer satisfaction from CLoD purchasers wink

Whole thing has a flavour of Puzo's "Fools die", Oleg fitting the part of Osano the novelist...


I have to agree with FF. The developer could fix COD easy if that was their priority as they have already heve done some impressive technical/programming work and they seem to know what they are doing. Their priority is on BOM development and sales. Their strategy seems to be to "string" along the COD players and get all the testing possible out of them while getting all the COD development done that is required for BOM. They need COD as a solid base for BOM and they also want to keep as many COD players as possible around to purchase BOM.

I think it is a good strategy for the 1C management but it is not very truthful.

Friday, June 22, 2012. Information about the patch and screenshots

Hello!

This week we have completed all the planned work on the patch and are planning to start its assembly and testing in the coming days. Therefore, we do find it difficult to give an exact release date. List of changes will also be published later.

SimHQ can get into serious trouble for stuff like this, I don't mind people venting. I'm moderating on a tiny phone lol (and other SimHQ staff don't like coming in the CloD cesspit smile ) so hopefully one of the others will drop by and help out (plus put the other thread back once rinsed).

PS I'm away for a bit due to work, have fun (but don't have too much fun) smile

My apologies as well. I truly believed, that avoiding certain words would make it ok.
I was wrong.
