Good post! The best intentions don't really mean much but I will keep an open mind and hope (pray) for the best:)

Now get this thing in order so you can start working on the North African campaign:-P

I think this is a good place to express my gratitude for this product even if it still has quite a few flaws. I know with our support there'll be a happy end with this dev team.

It will be a milestone in flight simulation and it is already outstanding in many features.

Please don't get frustrated by those negative comments. Not everybody thinks negatively nor has given up on this game.

It's the dirty smell of simmers who didn't shower because they continually had to play "one last mission!", and want the small software shops to keep putting out more sims.

I think it's the foul cheeze everyone eats with their whine here.

No, it's the smell of the s*** sandwich, made with moldy bread, that UBI/1C/Oleg delivered to us (the IL2 community), after promising us Filet Mignon for the last 6-8 years.

I haven't followed the development of this game at all. But I consistently see posters quoting a range from 6-10years..

Is there actually any official statement made by the developer's of when they actually sat down and decided to make CoD.

Not suggesting people are pulling figures out of the air mind, it's just a fleeting thought as to how long they actually have spent developing it.

if you'd ask me, I'd say 2-3 years at most, with the two programmers which actually appears in credits.

Hey guys,
iam with you, dont give up,continue support please, it will be very good sim with some of the best features ever made. even now i enjoy it.Big thanks.

Yes, really beautiful! :D

Actually, when being sold, a game is supposed to be a complete product, not a beta...

Maraz

in principle this is true, but Eagle dynamics took money for access to a pre release beta, many products with all the best will in the world do get released that don't come up to expectation, I have used iPhone as an example before, but when iPhone was launched with all the hype and promises, people were camping outside of the shops to buy it (I did enjoy laughing at all those people that bought £500's worth of junk) but it got fixed in the end, so why is COD such a big deal? stuff like this happens, my life didn't end bcause COD needs fixing.

p.s. another example for you, anyone checked put Fighter Ops? they are taking money annually just so people can see some pics of promises, tally up several years worth of Area 51 subscriptions and then the game release cost.......will it be worth it? will it work out of the box?
