Hi,
Yes I bought the CoD when it was released, checked it out, waited few patches and then uninstalled it. I waited for it around 5-years and during that time played quite a lot IL2 with addons..offline and online. Somehow it I was not impressed by it. Maybe I was expecting epic battles that I had many many years ago with SWOTL and IL-2. It had quite a lot of bugs too...
Now, I might try it again this summer :grin: Before I do, has the latest patches made it the simulator we've all been waiting for? Any mods by fans or other additional stuff that should be included so that gaming experience would increase?
I noticed that Maddox are planning for a addon to the eastern front...nice!

Hi,
Patches:
Let update Steam and then maybe install the beta-patch + Hotfix that is available here.
Other than that: We are waiting to see something this Friday like every Friday...
My personal guess: Patch this Friday, together with the anouncement of the next sequel.
Your system-specs would be useful. Maybe we can then tell you, if the game will run well.
Addons:
www.desastersoft.de has released great offline-addons, 1 of them is also available in english, the other one will be translated as well.
The quality of these add-ons are outstanding, they are even including a career-system.
For me personally the sim is well playable as long as i am not flying over londons rooftop. But there is still a hughe potential not beeing used by now.
it´s just that the complexity of the game doesn´t make it easier to develop it...

Pretty much where we were this time last year. In the grand scheme of things there has not been any real change.

No, try again.
Performance is better with less launcher crashes. Better FPS over all, FM's tweeked - to be tweeked again with the official version of the patch. No sound radar glitch. We are also waiting on a finalised version of the test patch which should make things even better.

No you try again...
As he stated, "in the grand scheme of things" this time last year to now hasn't seen much improvement, yea sure 'some' things have improved but we've also lost things so i wouldn't try and be too funny if i were you....just saying

Ok, thought that all those small clitches would have been already dealt with...maybe the next patch will fix those so maybe I'll install CoD in July when I have my vacation :D
Thanks for the hints, might try those since I enjoy offline games if they're well done. It would be nice to have an old fashion career system..with medals, ranks and other "stuff" or bonuses depending how you're performing in the war...those were fun in the old days...
My comp. is sufficient enough but I remember that I had some FPS issues over London with almost full details but otherwise it was ok...but some bugs really irretated me.

I call 90% less CTD a VAST inprovement, especially in multiplayer. So yes in "in the grand scheme of things" there have been inprovements and no the game is not in the state it was in last year...
No laughs here... ;)

The short answer to your question is NO.

Yes, you can have it in english as well. The Translation of theire second add-on is WIP and will be available in a few months.
The good news: Desastersoft is improving the RadioComands in theire next project! You then can call for help or ask for another mission.
The Radiocomand triggers a script that for example spawns friendly aircraft...

Farber, we still have an alpha patch that is struggling to come out after a year, and many users still have stability issues, I wouldn't call that a vast improvement. One would hope that CoD is sorted out before the release of the new sim, but a little voice tells me that it will be left as a half finished botched job, which they cashed in as a full working game.

Well, for me, its all about multiplayer and flying with my squad mates so not having a random crash 1 - 45 mins into the flight is a massive plus! I can now fly with more eye candy for upto 3 hours. I am enjoying it! When this patch becomes official soon its going to be even better. 2 weeks be sure! :-P

If your like me and are waiting for an official patch, only a few things have changed in a year. The last official patch was in October I think? They updated the aircraft engine sounds (much better.) Do a 109 flyby it's really cool :)
Looking forward to the next official patch. Should be here soon.

My system runs COD just fine with everything on High, and @ 1920x1080, but I assume the majority of users are having problems. Thats why the next patch is so important. If they don't fix the stability issues, for the majority, the beancounters will shut the project down. If this patch fixes the stability issues, then I can see the beancounters being much happier, and the development can start concentrating on the gameplay issues.

Please God Noooo!!
The official patch (or even another beta) had better have some bits put back in for me to play again online.
Such as clouds, decently rendered skins, no blurred rpm gauges. Throttle controls which function.
Take a few minutes to revert to the last official version and have a look at it and a play with it for flip's sake. The patch looks and plays pants in comparison and people are still getting crashes to desktop.
I just wish everyone running a server would open their eyes and remember what it used to look and play like.
Sorry to be a party pooper and all, but the patch should've been ditched from servers two weeks ago once we'd sent in all the crash files and logs. :evil:
