Nothing ever changes on the BoS Forum, the most hostile forum to newcomers I've ever seen. New member's first post: World of IL2 New member's second post: Post was locked If you're new to the BoS Forum you had better study it closely before posting. Don't dare come in talking about whatever is on your mind when you first buy the game. NOSB

If they were so good at predicting the future, how come they didn't know there would be such outcry at their dubious design decisions to screw over SP players after claiming in writing that they would give them a great experience?
I call shenanigans and declare that they can NOT, in fact, predict the future worth a damn.

Yes....it could have been handled much better for sure. I mean....am I suppose to do a search on everything I post, before I post it....Ask the question, get an answer. I mean, it is a valid question from a guy just getting into BOS. Labeling him a troll, is about as prejudiced as you can get with his 2 posts, and what a turn off for new customers on the forum....Geesh...
And what if he was a troll....so what. Answer the question and see where it might go...but don't have all the answers before hand...don't predict...someones intentions based on what...a crystal ball approach. This is probably asking a lot from moderators. It's a tough job so I'm not trying to put it all on them, but if you close a thread that is obviously able to be answered through other posts/developer responses, then why not post a link to it and have the OP refer to that? I'm tired of seeing posts like the one we're talking about too... but alienating new members for the sake of a search or the animosity displayed due to the subject is poor form and not good PR for an already difficult genre.

They (1CGS) cannot get out of their own way.
The good news for us is, they have to be and live with themselves forever, whereas we can just walk away from them!
"For I know the plans that I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11
Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Matthew 5:11
Indeed we call blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of the perseverance of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, because “the Lord is compassionate and merciful. James 5:11

Yep and that new guy still has a total of let's see, 2 posts. Looks like the core group did a good job of running off yet another new player who dared to ask a question that sounded like any critique of their beloved sim.
I do hope that core group is enough to keep the sim alive and well going forward after the release of BOM.
The more I see over there, the more I am glad I am no longer a paying customer of 1CGS, or 777 any longer for that matter. Which is sad as I liked ROF, but I no longer have any desire to support that group beyond what I already have.

Well, their house, their rules, ya' know.
As somebody said recently, folks shouldn't rely upon a single source for information.
Maybe somebody should PM the poor guy, and let him know about alternative sites/forums... I agree with the sentiment of "Their House, Their Rules" but it really irks me that one of the heads of the development company so willingly shut down the OP while backslapping the naysayers. These last few years have shown me that he's a petulant, petty person and it's near impossible to want to back him on any situation never mind purchase any new project.

The thread you guys are referring to was only temporarily locked until we could remove the personal attacks which the thread instantly transformed into. It's was re-opened days ago.
Jason Still looks locked to me
DCS Kickstarter Wags July 2014 "In this July 2014 update, the primary news is in regards to the restructured backer rewards. After a careful review of the older system under RRG, we found it financially unattainable." Wags October 2017 "the investment vs. generated revenue has been excellent for the World War II aircraft. In fact, the P-51D Mustang has twice the cost effectiveness of the A-10C Warthog."
