Best of luck and thank you, Luthier.
I know some may take this as an insult, but that is far from my intention. During the development and release of CoD there were heightened emotions and frustrations from all involved. Some fans felt cheated. Many other's wanted what we hoped would be the continuation and improvement of the greatest combat flight sim ever created, IL2. Despite the fans feeling let down, the crew continued to work hard to produce the game based upon the vision that inspired them, even through the darkest times. I thank you and leave this video, not as an insult but as reminder that through all the hard times, you kept your sense of humour. it's hard to keep yourself miserable while listening to banjo music, and in those days Im sure there was a lot of adversity to keep you down. Good luck, Luthier. Hope to see you around again soon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jn3KCZEqxc |

Bottom line is that Luthier failed to listen to his customers, netcode was never fixed, cries for Coop's were dismissed. But most of all he missed the very most important feature that any flight sim should have and that is 'Immersion'. The Atag server is/was great but because of netcode issues we couldn't even use the default stock skins, Luthier shot himself in the foot and I hope that he learns the valuable lesson that 'your customer is always right', if they ask for more communication then give it to them, and never ever ever tell them lies. Clod is great for making movies but other than that its a dead duck, very sad but it wasn't ruined by any of us here fans and whiners alike, it was ruined by the dev's. |

Does that mean Oleg and/or Luthier are incompetent? ? No! Not at all, both are specialists in their field. The funny thing is, a project manger doesn't have to be that deep into the matter, in fact that knowledge can be your worst enemy as you get sidetracked by problems which are not yours. |

EDIT:Same goes for other who feel the need for one last pot shot. Let it go. |

Think about it.. So thanks.. and all the best. I do not know what will become of these boards in 18 months.. or what your plans are for the future but if you can find it in you, your presence and Oleg's for that matter would be a very welcome sight in any sim, on any forum, and any place in Cyberspace where IL2 is still celebrated. ~!S!~ |
Hope you find fortune in the states!

Stay classy, Tree.
