Face it, CoD is seriously bugged and deserves the low scores it is getting. I personally would give it 50% and that would be generous.

I've never seen so many, to get so angry with so few by so few bugs.

90% of the "intended bugs" are things that people haven't read in the manual (antropomorphic controls, engine failure due to unexperience, shaking when outside parameters, gyroscopes sounds when no engine running, and a long etc). Everywhere in the manual there are advices about buildings and trees to be deactivated or minimised if there are fps problems. That's a simply question that every flight simulation fan knows "thanks" to FSX.


CoD must be analysed as a flight simulator, not as a computer program. Read manual, learn to fly properly, and when you have more than 10 flight hours in full real settings without killing your engine, then analyse.


Of course, a gaming magazine is not expected to make any kind of serious analysis about a serious simulator. That guy simply didn't read the manual.

Sorry but you still analysing it as a computer game, not as a serious flight simulator.

Those you mention are minor bugs. Some of them are things you can see there and will be in future developments.

I dedicate to FLY, not to look for gaming weaknesses. Compared to real flight, I feel like I've had to obtain my real PPL-A license not to fly Cessnas... but to fly CoD.

I've seen very experienced virtual pilots, too much used to fly in simulators only (and maybe never in real life), that fell to anger against CoD by not reading the manual and facing with the problems I've mention about.

Once performance problems solved, there's no way back from CoD to 1946.

That's my oppinion, of course low end users will have a very different oppinion, I can undestand that.

That's a shame. I rather liked the concept of the reviewer outing a huge deception by The Russians to drive some kind of super weapon powered by nerd-rage... *sigh* I guess I should have paid more attention in GCSE French...

Alors oui, les cockpits sont peut‐être jolis, les modèles de vol un peu améliorés par rapport à IL‐2 Sturmovik (et encore...), mais à l'heure actuelle, le jeu est simplement injoua‐ ble. Il ne reste plus qu'à espérer qu'une (longue) série de patchs vienne corriger tout ça. En attendant, on ne peut que contempler ce gâchis avec des grands yeux pleins de larmes.

A complete bug-fest, badly programed, badly optimized... IL‐2 Sturmovik : Cliffs of Dover is a huge disappointment. It is impossible to fly without insane stuttering which one wouldn't tolerate from even a beta version. So, yes, the cockpits are perhaps lovely and the FM may have been somewhat improved compared to IL-2 (and even then...), but at the present time the game is simply unplayable. We can only hope that a (long) series of patches will correct all this. In the meantime we can only contemplate this mess with tears in our eyes.
