Sorta like the third day of a test , the first innings.

Not just this forum but the entire site as a whole. Just reminds you of how niche the simming market is.

It'll pick up again when something new is released. It'll be RoF's turn next when the new career mode is released.

Either because the game is playable for 99 pc of people now so there is not so much to write about, or they're still waiting for it to be released in their country, or they've given up waiting, or they've tried it, discovered there isn't actually that much gameplay in it and have moved on to Call of Duty 9: Return to Iwo Jima Again, or they love it to death and are busy skinning and making missions, or DUH it's summer in the northern hemisphere and they're sitting in cafes doing something much more interesting.

I'm working, so forum time is down. Plus too many things to do equals me going...

Well I cant speak for others but I'm not playing CoD - haven't playing it for a while - got bored waiting for it to turn into a decent game! Been playing RoF recently in anticipation of the new career, and more recently MS Flightsim X which is always worth going back to - never get bored with the missions in that game and the scenery never ceases to impress.

Perhaps the epilepsy warning splash screen has finally driven everyone over the edge and they are now roaming the streets with pitchforks and rope trying to find the dude.

For me it's the prop pitch on the 109 that stopped me playing online, and it appears that online is now dead thanks to the patch and the hotfix. Prior to those releases you could actually have some fun and play online now it's a ghost town. Hopefully the new release will breathe some life back into the servers!

I pretty much have shelved CoD for the time being, rather playing DCS:A-10c, Rise of Flight, FSX or Yankee Air Pirate.

The calm before the Storm methinks.........

The only thread that was getting lots of interest was moved to the WoP forum.

i'm still lurking and enjoying the game, even with the issues i have been having fun on the SYN server, bout 130hrs now from memory!

Bought a new pc to play COD,but what is there to play?
Looking at nice detailed cockpit etc is not a game.

The word on the street is that it's summer too.

Its because at the moment the game is dead, Ive tried to fly online a few times, your lucky if one person is on, then your lucky if you've got sound. Back to Il2 1946 for me, with the new ultra pack and the latest pack its a lot better than CLOD.

Your post prompted me to check the number of hours I had logged with CoD.

75.

I've no idea how this figure is calculated but it's ludicrously high. There's no way i've spent anything like 75 hours playing CoD. Indeed, apart from a few speculative online sorties over a month ago my entire CoD relationship has been one of patching it then spending no more than 5 minutes playing it. Whence this 75 hours claptrap? I can only imagine it's due to some optimistic rounding up function of Steam's stats program or something.

Steam gathers those stats by emailing your wife a survey of 'how long does he play those games in there?'

Either that or if you've ever had any crashes (let's suspend belief and pretend that CoD has a bug or two) then it messes with the API counter too. I think by default it adds an hour by just starting it up if it never finishes cleanly.

Actually, it is still srping, but an usually war and dry one.

I am flying religiously CLOD every evening, I have to balance my time between posting and using.
Last weeks, I've been more on the user's side.
For me, this is FSX with combat. The ting I waited for. And I haven't been an IL2 fan.

Well you are lucky then.. I wish I had the honour..
I can't play this thing since the last patch (hotfix)..

Remember Steam tracks it from the moment you enter the game to the moment you exit. If you don't spend all that time in the cockpit, or you're constantly fiddling with settings trying to improve performance, you're still tracking.
Do the pilot stats include hours flown or just kills/deaths?
