Hi,
Given sad state of IL2 cliffs of dover, is it possible that 777 takes over development or develops its own WWII combat flight sim ? the one thing that 1C seems to be needing is some healthy competition. Someone should really set fire under their ar$es and 777 seems the right crowd to do so.

I think what Luthier and the Maddox guys need for now is some time to try and fix CloDs obvious problems.
I'm hoping that in a year or so's time we'll be able to say, "this is what CloD should have been like at release".

Maddox games has contractual/financial obligations with UBI and 1c. I doubt 777, or anyone else for that matter, is willing to put up with all that crap. That`s what I`d hope for - they`d expand their game engine AND business model to create great WWII flight sim. And if they just used existing ROF engine it would be so much better than current COD.

It would be interesting to see how the ROF dynamic campaign plays out before I would even want to ponder this question.

I would much rather see a new Tornado, Typhoon or other modern jet sim rather than yet another WW2 sim. IL2 has pretty much covered the lot dont see any reason for another version of IL2. The only WW2 sim I wanted to see was the BOB and we are getting that (gradually).

I really wish 777 would concentrate on WW1 alone. There's just such a huge potentional for expansions for this sim? There were just so many exiting areas involved in the Great War, that has never been covered (and hardly mentioned today) There was several battlegrounds in Africa, and also WW1 had it's eastern front with it's huge battles and fights, there were the endless battles about beaches of Gallipoli, the Arabic peninsula ( Lawrence of Arabia anyone? ) I really really hope we'll see (at least some) of these covered in the future. It's just too good to miss..

We have nothing to do with COD. What has been suggested will never happen. We always planned on making multiple products in multiple time periods. I've said this before so it's not news. How we go about that is what we don't know yet, but lets say that our inboxes and interest from others for us to branch out into WWII is on fire. An engine like ours should not be limited to only one war. :-) \o/ You guys will/would make a Second World War flight sim that will/would put even Aces High to shame, or I'll eat my socks.

I think that if in time you will move to WW1 peroid you will have even much large community. For sure WW2 is much more popular then WW1 although personaly i love them both. I started my flying adventure with gliders so for me WW1 is just the essence of flying.
P.S to Michcich
Cze Michcich kupe lat. Odezwij sie to moze razem polatamy w ROF. Mamy swojego team speaka do gadania jak co.

Hi,
Given sad state of IL2 cliffs of dover, is it possible that 777 takes over development or develops its own WWII combat flight sim ? the one thing that 1C seems to be needing is some healthy competition. Someone should really set fire under their ar$es and 777 seems the right crowd to do so. Apparently you weren't here for the early days of RoF. It wasn't perfect. Far far from it. I'm very fortunate that I never had a lot of the issues many had/have here, but there was a bunch of issues. Now almost two years later and RoF is a smashingly decent flight sim. IDK what happened with the development of CoD but give it two years and it'll be as good or better (depending on one's preference) than RoF. Both companies have talented individuals who continue to make strides in their respective project. It's foolish to think someone else could jump in and 'finish' another company's game..... or worse, #%&*$# and moan to another developer when that own company's release was spotted at best. Look how far RoF has come. A beauty ain't she? Took a bit, but Jason and crew work hard to get where they are now. CoD will advance just as well.

Although I prefer WW1 to any other period, Ill stand behind whatever sim they make next. The Digital Nature engine is the best Ive seen so far, and I think it will make a great starting point for WW2 as well. Personally, Id like Korea done next. Nothings been done with that since Mig Alley (another classic)

I don't know if there would be a market for it or not, but I would like to fly some types from the 20's and 30's... These photo's were given to me by my Grandfather when I joined the RAF. He was inthe RAF during the early 1930's and then re-enlisted before WW2 kicked off... He got them from a friend of his who worked in the photographic section where he was based. The only problem with the 20's and 30's as far as combat sims are concerned is that there wasn't a major conflict to set it in (well maybe the Spanish civil war I guess).
