Cliffs of Dover is a lot of FUN!!!!
 

You know, I'm having a real fun time with this game. last night I made myself a nice, fun little mission over France. Me in my 109 taking on 3 spitfires along the coast. It was 5 am in the morning, I added storm clouds to the map in the FMB. Full engine management on and 100% realism. Had a fantastic time hunting down those spits I can tell ya....!!

I just want to say thanks to the team for making the best world war 2 flight sim ever created. The cockpits are mind-blowing, the 109 cockpit is just freakin amazing looking!

This game is only going to get better and better with time, like a fine wine.

keep up the great work guys, and don't let the complainers get you down.

But that's the point ! I can play it my way, how I want to. with the aircraft I choose, and the skins I like, at the time of day I want. AND on top of that, there is a single player campaign if I want it.

The misconception here is that this "thing" is not a game, it is a simulator, that is a very different thing and is a lot more important give the tools for make your own content that give you the content allready builded. Has the other CoD, wich is a game, some tools to make your own missions? Think about that. A simulator is always supported by the community. This way in a month you will have a lots of content, missions and campaigns ready to add to the sim made by users. A lot more than developers could do.

Your telling me that you wouldnt be able to make a mission like that WITHOUT the use of a mission builder..... i have made plenty of 3v1 by just changing the aircraft and number in a quick mission and i have only used QMB to apply skins!!!

I would conceive CoD as a Game in Contrast to techincal simulations like DCS-A10, which is totally about the technical details. CoD on the contrary has a technical component which plays a minor role in my eyes. They seem to be complicated, however the mechanism behind it is very easy to conceive and doesn´t require to push approx 80 buttons and w8t 10 mintes to start the (A-10) plane.

Fun it is. Soon as the game is stable and runs as best as it should I'll be recommending it to friends without a doubt.

FMB is great to use; and what better way to add longetivity to a game..

I play the 128 plane mission I made, that's something else I tell ya.

Black Ops isn't a WW2 flight sim.

Wow a poster comparing an FPS to a flight sim, now i have seen it all... :rolleyes:

He only pointed out that people can create missions for this CoD. You didn't have a response to that, so you moved the goalposts.

If you don't like the content, don't buy the game.

He just said he was having fun, and you were trolling for a fight. Don't try to pretend that there is anything else going on here.

Yes, it is the point. You are whining about the lack of content. If you don't like the content, don't buy the game.

Except for the people who are having fun playing it, apparently.

He said he was having fun and you started whining about lack of content. Don't try to pretend that you weren't trolling for a fight.

There appears to be plenty of content for him. So what you are really stating is your opinion. And you are whining (in my opinion).

You could stop posting. That might help.

I myself never even play the missons that come with game, build them in FMB or play online in co-ops ect, its one of the best features of the game. If I wanted what Tanner recommends I buy console games.

Different Strokes ect

I'm sure that USAF, RAF, Boeing and such have simulators. This is actually simulation :)

Not finished, and unplayable (hopefully most of us "the fans" are in our middle years, so there is a chance that we even could see it finished and playable . . . ) , but whatever simulation.

The point is that if you want to make your own mission you can HE said he had fun doing it, he didnt say he didnt have fun playing the current missions.

Your post makes no sense THERE are loads of games that have been pushed out to early and bugged. It's just unfortunate that this is becoming an acceptable working practice to release a bugged game and then patch it to a playable state and a lot of those game turn out to be amazing :eek:.

Rubbish.

The Il-2 players I know all use the FMB extensively, myself included. It's always been one of the things I've loved most about Il-2 - the ability to make missions exactly how you want them to be.

As to the thread...I agree; it's a lot of fun. I'm trying to play without icons, but golly it's tough. I'll keep persisting though. :)

It does nothing of the sort. Making up your own mission is completely unrelated to the existing content.

Me either. I've created several custom missions with the FMB and have never even looked at the single missions, and probably never will.

Yay. Another shitstorm thread.

"I like the game"

"This is why you shouldn't like the game"

etc etc etc

I may be slightly drunk, but I feel like I want to shout STOP IT.

Stop the internet arguments picking each others posts apart word by word.

Some people are enjoying the (game/sim?) some people are upset by the peceived lack of support/content - why do we have to jump on the opposite opinion every time and agrue down that opinion until it's reduced to the words they said and half of it is taken out of context?

Arrrgh. I'm arguing about the same thing now. Kindof. Meh.

I'm enjoying it. I admittedly have the PC to be able to, but don't knock the people who *are* enjoying it. Either be patient, fight your way for a refund off whoever you bought it from, or express your opinion in a way that doesn't drag yet another thread into another (boring) argument.

The first poster was just saying how much fun he was having and you bring in your "STINK" from nowhere. You did'nt wipe anybodies nose you just forgot to wipe your ass.:confused:

Well, you're slightly wrong about that... granted, you don't have to push 80 buttons to start, but that's just because 1940s planes didnt HAVE 80 buttons to work with.
If some reasonable metric is applied to both 'games' in order to compare realism, I'm pretty sure CoD would beat that A-10 thingy by a fair margin.

Of course, you could approach CoD as a game, that's what the realism switches are for. Come some time, you can download a campaign from somewhere and having a blast, if you're already through the stock campaigns.

Though I have to admit that CoD definate lacks a dynamic mission generator and the ranks/medals features. That's definately missing for me.

So you've constructed your entire argument over the things someone didn't say in his post?

[I really felt I had to bold, underline and italicise that point, just in case you didn't spot the importance of this little tidbit of information]

Why don't you just pi$$ off Tanner? The guy is genuinely having fun with the game and you have to come along and mess up one of the few positive threads we have going. Give me a break. For many of us, creating custom missions is a big part of the enjoyment. It says nothing about the the quality or quantity of the stock missions.

I see. So, you figured out that he really thinks the game doesn't have enough content because of things he did NOT say? Amazing.

Just to emphasize, at no point has Tanner stated that he (Tanner) isn't a moron.

Tanner, building an argument around what people haven't said is path that can come back to bite you in the @ss. For instance, we're still waiting for a definitive statement from you on whether or not you're a moron.

Oddly, the RoF community seems very concerned that IL-2 1946 multiplayer servers are busy while their's are often empty.

I see no assertion that the OP "chose" to "create a mission instead of playing the existing content" - he simply stated that he had fun in the FMB.

I haven't tried multiplayer but this isn't the point - you're venting your anger in a random thread which happens to be the opposite of your opinion as to the state of the game in a completely non-constructive manner.

The way to get these things across is maybe to start your own thread - don't rant - just highlight (even bullet point if you feel the need to) the exact issues you see as being a problem.

Jumping into another thread and throwing your opinion around isn't the way to go about it. That's what I'm doing here, it's true, but I'm fed up with people either flatly decrying the game as a piece of shit or touting their opinon as gospel.

The game is in a state of uncertainty and will undoubtedly develop and evolve over the next few weeks, months, and most assuredly, years. You really should understand that above all (as Rise of Flight certainly went through a lot of the same issues in the early days, as did the original IL2 and, well, pretty much any other game which isn't developed by a huge team with wads of cash backing them up. And even they get delayed.) this is and will be worked on for some time to come.

There's no point just arguing about whether it's shit/lack of content etc.

Argue about what you see is missing, in a place and time that suits it (your own thread? a thread which is actively discussing these problems?) and maybe help try to steer the opinions of the people who are working on this to get those points worked on...

That's great. Using that very same logic we can infer that you're a moron. You could have said that you're not a moron, but you chose not to. QED

What else needs to be said?

Tanner why are you still on this forum btw ?

The FMB comes straight out of heaven, the amount of fun I had with it is incredible, it was my only offline entertainment, as well as other campaigns made in the FMB by other users.

Now that I can simulate complete tank battles and many more, this is gonna kick ass even more!:grin:

Tanner, if you don't like the lack of support for multi-player right now, don't buy the game.

Tanner, I'm just following YOUR logic.

You are SOL.

this game is indeed a barrel of fun ;)

Too funny. If I didn't concede your points by something I said, I 'm sure I would have conceded them by something I didn't say...:rolleyes:

what does 'cogent' mean?

You can defeat people by what they don't say. Why did you bother to check what I have actually said?

But seriously, I LOVE that you think attacking what someone did NOT say is a well-reasoned argument.

Did you see the Super Hornet photo I took? That was pretty cogent.

No, but you haven't responded to my post, which did include several cogent, intelligent (if I do say so myself), well reasoned and rational points as to why you shouldn't be posting in this thread in the first place.

I'm pretty sure he crushed you by not responding to what you did not say.

It looks to me like Tanner is trying to run the game on a min spec system (If his signature is correct). So he is probably on the extreme end of bad performance. The game has problems, sure, but did anyone really expect a sim trying to push the envelope to premier without them? I surely didn't, and I certainly wouldn't try to run said game on a lower end system. Sorry Tanner, but I know well enough to wait a month or so after a new game debuts to buy it and expect the kind of play I want...and that I need a system that will run it comfortably. So in the mean time, don't rain on other people's parade just because you are unable to share in their enjoyment.

Back to the original thread....yeah the FMB is truly superb,and I know we had this with the original but now the content is so much more detailed this really rocks.

I think everyone who enjoys FMB may already start enjoying unlimited possibilities of scripting. Check this out http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=21518
