And will certainly hurt sales of the sequel. I think that is why the patch is no where in sight. It’s so far away in fact that there is nothing to communicate beyond open ended statements like “We are working on it and it will be done when it’s done.”


Please take your overwhelming negativity elsewhere. The devs are working hard to make us the sim we want and given time will deliver something remarkable, just like in the IL2 days.

I really don't know why you bother showing your face here. Always laying the boot in.

they have little choice but to work on it until it is practically perfect after the 9 months of whining since release, if it is anything less then god knows how much worse that will be, Luthier daren't say anything more than 'hello' or it will be interpreted as another promise to be broken, all this talk of 'feelings' being thrown around here and nobody stops to imagine if the devs have any, the critics here have become nothing more than an 'angry mob'.....no wonder they just wan't to hide......wouldn't you?

If they don't fix CoD first only a sucker would buy the sequel.:rolleyes: 1C needs to prove themselves before I'd spend another penny. I'd rather have a meal at a restaurant than buy another buggy piece of unfinished software.

The only way they can prove to me they are worth a future purchase is to make good on the first one.

If they fix CoD first I will buy.:-D

Haha ! Ok then...Lets say the new game works very very very well at release, based on our community feedbacks...With most of the features promised in COD...:cool:
You could really really resist the temptation ?

Salute !

My guess is they will aim for an early release of a new game with all the bells and whistles to get new money and then transfer manpower to COD...
At this point, to be honnest, they would have to make a lot of upgrades , put alot of money and manpower on COD to get the communuty satisfied and stop the whining.By the time they would achieve that, it is probable when the new game could be released with all the team working on it...
But we are all guessing, are'nt we ? :cool:

I have a right to post just like you and don't feel I'm being overly negative in this case. I took another look and feel it's pretty accurate and reflects what has been said and where we stand.

Neither does the majority of sensible persons here,and if he thinks that there will be a wealth of gullible persons here ready to buy the next half baked project he may well do himself a favour and think again.

I can't believe we are talking about a sequel to this effort without the former project being sorted out first,it's getting very boring and tiresome now,having to explain to him and his team that the fundementals of this sim,let's pick comms for instance,which are still in a state of not fully working correctly.

Come on Luthier walk before you run!

Maybe it's just me but this forum is definatley not as busy as it used to be either,guys are losing their patience with it I can only guess,as said time and time again,a few comments from the devs now and then would go a long way,rather than the usual silences that seem to last forever.

Come on guys, get a grip for goodness sake. The sky is not falling down. CloD will live and we'll all have a fantastic sim to play for the next 10 years. Just need a little patience and a bit of perspective.

The devs are working hard and making it better...no doubt about it. Just take the sounds for instance. I personally can't believe how good they are. It feels great getting behind that big throaty engine and the sounds from the ground are amazing too. Now imagine what it'll be like when they apply the same magic to AI, Comms etc.........

Good things will come in time, just you see. But we need to have a little sympathy for the situation that Luthier is in and an undertstanding for just how complex this beast really is. This kind of stuff takes a long time to fix and debug but they will deliver, I have no doubt.

In the meantime I'm having a great time flying this thing and improving my skills. There's so much to enjoy already in this product. The potential is enormous. And no, I don't have a monster rig - just an i7 920 2.66Ghz with 2GB memory and an old Geforce GTS 250 1MB graphics card.

You can try several user created static and 2 dynamic(still wip) campaigns.

I've heard from very reliable source the next sequel will be IL-2 Sturmovik: Angry Birds. The flyables are modeled from the most vocal banana forum members!

Cheers! :grin:

Whattahell, this forum could be renamed already IL-2 Sturmovik: Angry Birds!
