No No No... that was someone else but I can't recall his name now I am sure it began with an O.. :confused: :-P

Spot on.
Unfortunately I don't expect things to change.

Not to say a little verbose.:) - Sorry mate, you know I respect your views.

What we're talking about here is a piece of computer software. If you'd paid Norton or McAfee some money for a piece of software, you'd expect it to work out of the box, without any input from any kind of 'community', yes?

Imagine describing 'bugs' to the Adobe company. Are there 'bugs' in photoshop? I don't know. But I'm a consumer, not an unpaid worker for a software development company, and if I was as positive in my approach to the problems with 'Cliffs' as various members evidently are; sorry but I'd expect to be paid for my services.

The work being done by the community in researching online bugs, offline bugs, and designing and building the kind of campaigns I expected when I purchased what was purported to be a 'Battle of Britain' simulation is exemplary, and indicative of the dedication of the community's enthusiasts.

I wish I could be one of those people but unfortunately real life takes up most of my time.

When I want to escape from real life, I'd like to be able to turn to the same software company I've relied on for the last ten years of good times, especially as they promised to produce 'Storm of War - The Battle of Britain', a subject very dear to my heart.

I'm still waiting patiently for this to happen.

I believe you are thinking of 'Ogel', the famous developer of "Wings of Fury: Paper Plane Simulator 2"

Here's a development screenshot that Ogel posted, notice the skybox isn't fully aligned;

Regarding behaviour: There are all sorts of ways of giving 'constructive criticism'. If the critics on this forum acted the same when they were giving constructive criticism when their steak was under cooked or their cappuccino was a little cold, I'm 100% sure that it would come back with excess of the normal allowance of e-coli or human spittle! ;)

The roadmap: according to Luthiers’ roadmap, we're fairly well on track. Hope they get the multiplayer sound issues cracked ahead of schedule.
Cheers

It doesn't, it is continually getting patched just like anyother peice of commercial software. These companies continually seek information from the community to keep their products up to dates with bug logs and beta programs.

I use CS4 at work, Adobe Photoishop has ongoing patches just like any other peice of commercial software.

I'ld say very little work is being done by the community on this forum. And the problem is that the format that the critics are using to state their problems is next to useless to the developers.

As with the beta patches, Luthier was quite specific about HOW to report the bugs with log files, hardware, software and the setting that the issues. All we got were endless pages of whining.


I share your frustration over some issues but I don't consider myself wasting time, I'm having a hoot playing the game. But there are plenty of other good sims arround! If you think your wasting your life here why continue?

Maybe there are alot of people who stay around here our of loyalty for the "last ten years of good times"? If so many have a very funny way of showing it.

Cheers!

Reviewing Luthier's roadmap!



I think The CLoD team have said all thy need to say about what thy are doing.
The sim is getting better with every patch.

This is a business and thy know there are other software company's and 3ed party developers that would love to know what and how thy are doing things with the best flight sim ever made.

Just like FSX has been made into a 3ed party developers money tree CLoD has not been.

And some of the 3ed party developers are going to try making CLoD look as bad as thy can unless thy can make CLoD into a money tree also.

It comes down to this.
Are you going to buy a plane that fly's around different airports on a out dated sim or buy the most up to date flight sim that has ever been made for the same price?
Of coarse thy what you to buy there plane that has to be parched severely times before the thing works like it should!

CLoD is the biggest thing to hit the flight sim hobbyist PC in some time other then RoF.
But to see what some of the posters say on here thy just can not fly this sim, with a better PC then what I have and I can fly this sim just fine. Matter of fact I can fly this sim better than FSX!

I have FSX and enjoyed FSX until I got CLoD. I find it near impossible to fly any MS sim with a FFB joystick and hard to see with TIR5, with out sticking your head thou the roof of the plane.


And that is why I do not think the CLoD team are saying anymore than thy are.
And IMO thy shouldn't.

Sorry but i have to completely disagree. It has been the only WW2 flight sim to hit the shelves since IL2 1946.

Biggest implies to me that it is really good, sadly at the moment it is not in my opinion, but it could be a taster of what could be done by the time the next add-on is ready and the good patches keep coming.

So to be perfectly honest at the moment i feel its not worth the money untill it is fully working.

That is why we need to be patient.

I, on the other hand, have played this game of a time three times the average fps game sp. I feel it is more than worth the money.

Really what specs you got? mine is only mid/low so i have to accept low end graphics setting but I'm ok with that cos it still looks great to be honest. Just a shame about the lack of content, but yeah as you said it is coming.
