The major issue CTD is greatly improved. FM's and such are still needing work, but there's been progress.

I've basically given up on the sim. I doubt it will ever become an enjoyable experience for me in offline play.

I might check back in another half a year or so, but by now I have lost all trust in the development.

working just fine and dandy for me, frame rates good, no stutters, and most importantly after 6 hrs online over the last few days not a single CTD! things are starting to look up, now if we can get the FM's sorted, the coms functional, and some of the eratic AI sorted out then we will be well and truely on our way to a winner!

fambois are the burgeois. Fanboys are the proletariat. Anyone who would like Oleg to autograph their

game box.. CoD, Il2 , IL2FB etc is a fanboy. Using this criteria, I consider myself a fanboy.

Frambois are the rasberries...

Seems to me?
That everybody is running out of hope and patience, to include me.
With the lack of activity here and at the Banana Forums, it seems to prove it.

I think....That 1C will mostly fix the CTD/Launcher.exe problems and that will be it for CloD.
I think....That they will use an excuse of "dwindling resources" or the like, as an
excuse to abandon CloD and free up resources for BOM development.

I agree with PV1 "Frambois are the rasberries..."

Not sure why you would think that the developers are abandoning COD. Every improvement they make to the AI, FM, DM, Trees, Water, Clouds, Dynamic weather, DX11, etc during the next ten or so years of development of new theaters can be applied to COD. Not to mention all the third party professional and amateur modders working on enhancements to COD and every other theater.

Personally, I've run out of new material to keep posting. I do have hope.

get out of here with your reason!

NOT WELCOME!!

I'm going to give it 3 more weeks and then I'm going to start recycling the jokes I did last year..

Im just going to re-post my posts from just after the release, its so long ago and the content is the same im sure nobody will notice.

I'm waiting to see how any Warsaw Pact country with a small dev team handles there release this Friday (Iron Front Liberation). If they deliver on their promises, I think CoD is getting shelved for awhile...

Side note, the FW-190 in their screenshot looks great, I miss flying that bird!

@Chivas....It's been a good 14 months since this product was sold.
It still does not work correctly and is lacking in content.

Seems to me, a good thing, that folks do CPR on a victim to try to save a life.
However, 14 months later? Seems like some folks like kissing the corpse.

lol good one Furbs

Yes jokes Fearless, and it'll fun to reprise the cheese danish debate as well.

It took years to release the Unfinished product, so its going to take a lot time to finish. I don't think the devs thought they would have to rewrite the graphic code to get the sim working properly, and that set them back months. It seems to me that the forums are full of people now saying that the sim is starting to work for them since the last patch, so its not dead yet. If the sim is dead to some people, I'm not sure why they keep coming back to kick the corpse.

Its as alive as the number of people flying it and talking about flying it. Personally I've done what I think I can in terms of testing the Alpha and spent more time flying the game doing that than I had in the previous year. If it hadn't been for Heinkills Seelowe missions that would have been a ball ache as it was and I'm glad I can now switch something else on I want to fly, that says it all about what CoD does for me.

It doesn't look as good as anything else I have, it doesn't run as well as anything else I have and its got more holes in it than a tea bag, both in terms of content and functionality. The only motivation not to delete and move on now is the prospect of it becoming something it currently isn't. Never say never etc but really I'm coming back to an old firmly held belief of mine- You can't polish a turd.

Turd Polish

I tried CoD when it came out.

Now, I'm pretending it was never released -- rather that was a paid for beta test -- its still in development -- and I await the actual release.

I come to the Forum every so often. You guys' posts will tell me when the game is "finished" (one way or another ).

Hopefully, it will be finished in a positive way and, then, evolve on into the future (making happy customers and rich developers). We'll see

This is exactly how I do. Not playing and arguing till its finished... saves a lot of valuable time.

Picture the scene, it's a grimy, dirty boardroom with a distinct cold war era feel. Sitting around the dusty table are a dozen or so old men quietly coughing and wheezing, they're expectently looking at a lone figure at the end of the table.

"So Luthier, you want yet more money to develop this....'flight sim' into a retail product?" one of the old men growls in a low voice.

"Uhum, well we did promis..."

"SILENCE, promise? promise? I'll give you a promise" the man barked, "my promise is that not one more ruble will be wasted on this 'fruitless' endeavour"

The old men looked at each other in the silence following the outburst.

"Ok let's humour you" the old man carried on "assuming you fullfill your 'promise' and spend time and money on this 'game'" he spat, "what will we the board get in return?, more money?"

The lone figure shuffled awkwardly under the focussed gaze of the room.

"I thought not comrade" the man continued, " do what you need to do to look like something is happening; talk is cheap"
"Hopefully in a few months the proletariat will lose interest and discover console flight-sims"

A low chuckle raised a few coughs from the old men.

"Now go" and with a wave of his bony hand the lone figure was ushered from the room...
