I don´t have a clue, what your priorities are, if you take off with a new flight sim. Mine are:

1: it is running at playable FPS - no immersion killing stutterings etc.

2: Flightmodel is good, better very good, so you get the real feeling of being airborn.

Everything else could come later. I would fly around with my ME109, enjoy traffic patterns, low altitude flying and aerobatics.
Exactly this was possible with RoF, with all 4 included planes. It got me hooked, so i waited patiently for everything else developing.

And CoD ? Take Offs and Landings are a bad joke - no ground modelling at all. And how many can fly without stutters in the meantime ?
I still hope though, CoD will one day in the state RoF was at release !


I keep hearing how RoF was a bad as CoD on release, funny how it is always from the apologists like Ghost_Swe. They seem to neglect that most of us bought RoF on release and didn't have any serious issues running the game. I have always said that RoF had great fundamentals right from the first moment I installed it. CoD feels good once you are in the air but before you get there you have to endure probably the worst ground handling that any sim has ever had, well apart from IL2. You than have to endure the same ground handling on landing.

Considering that take-off and landing are a large part of flying that leaves CoD seriously lacking as anything other than a skirmish simulator.

This is a simple question, what is wrong with the ground handling?
Ok maybe its two questions, what is wrong with it and what are you comparing it to, ROF? IL2? Real life experience?
I am interested as I have come back to flight sims with Clod after many years, and I have no basis for comparison myself.
