I dont care what the Whiners say...
 

I'm enjoying the sim again.

And I WILL pre purchase the new offering as soon as it is available for sale.

It's good to be flying WW2 birds again. And I must say that CloD does the feeling of flight better than any other prop sim I've messed with, including RoF.

Amen..

I like how if you're dissatisfied with a buggy release that took 18 months to reach adequacy, where aircraft can fly with no wings and developer communication is basically nonexistent, you are dismissed as a whiner.

Last few days I've been waiting for someone to post something I could relate too 100%.

Thanks El for providing me that opportunity. It seems to me from conversations with old Il2 squadmates on facebook, email and "old dusty forums" that a lot of folks are "coming back" to fly. While the software still has a bit of rough edges, it's more than good enough to fill servers with old pilots, and perhaps new ones too.

A quick, non-scientific check of CoD activity within the realm of Combat Flight Sims looks like this (online statistics checked both in RoF and Clod):

116 pilots on-line in CoD servers
89 pilots on-line in RoF servers

SIMHQ Forum count (active viewers logged in)

DCS 59
CoD 53
RoF 19

1C CoD forums

31 Members
60 "Guests"

I find the 60 Guests to be interesting. Possibly a nice statistic for those that wonder what percent of the viewing public on these forums actually post, or a surge in new people checking out CoD? I don't know.

Anyway, just built a new system - and am really, really enjoying this. For the first time in over a year I'm having a lot of fun with all my flight sims - but can't stop playing CoD to enjoy the rest :)

After benchmarking CoD, RoF and DCS P-51D on my new system - I found that CoD, by a large margin, utilized more of my 6 cores than any of the other titles. I was a bit worried that the extra money spent wouldn't be worth it - but it is in CoD it was.

S!

Amen!

Anyways need a new system to play this like I want =)

And how many were playing IL2? More than both together I'd bet.

El, what a dumb thread; like who cares what you'll do - it won't influence anyone.

We're all flight sim fans here and if it fulfills its potential we'll all be happy.

Forums are for discussions. Posters are not expected to be world class journalists or experts of simulation air combat.

Members share and discuss things that relate to their interest in COD.

So, yeah... straight talk for you. There are a lot of well educated and competent people that enjoy this forums. Your high minded rhetoric can definitely be dealt with by many here. SO, it isn't a best course of chit chat to defame anyone.

In fact, we have some members than can create so much verbal heat for you, that you will feel it and see it in your very red face. You can look in a mirror and see it. :-P

If some people have very low expectations, limited-to-no gameplay with other sims, dont mind getting broken products, a whole mess of BS posts from devs, then yeah, you can definitly enjoy this game.

Just a note.... if "whiners" dont bother you so much, why do you feel the need to post, that they dont? Obviously it bothers you that that others find the end product far from good. Dont get all sour grapes.

The sim now is fun even in MP, with lots of pilots online and big maps.

We have some bugs, need work in engine aiming the next title, but now the sim engine looks like devs can solve all minor graphics bugs, deliver more and stable FPS, and can work in important missing features, like better weather system.

We can have good experiences in CloD until the next title now. And for sure we'll have a more finished product soon.

I'll buy the next title. My faith in this team is restored.

Bye! :-P

PS: Now 1C can do some marketing work to promote CloD again. We need new reviews of this sim NOW! It's another thing! I'm glad to be part of "beta testers" team of this product, and i'll be proud of BoM, for sure!

Defame? Who's defaming anyone? If a thread is dumb then it's dumb regardless of who started it. The original post was provocative and got a response.

Verbal heat? They'd have to shout pretty loud. And "leaning" from a moderator doesn't impress me I'm afraid. Especially not when it's a threat dressed up as a "polite" warning.

ps. And for the record I will also be buying BoM on release. Because I'm a fan.

pps. I'm out of this thread as there is nothing more to say, but I won't be cowed by mods who take sides rather than being impartial.
