Lets face hard facts..the sim has been supposedly in development for over 6 years now..during that time in its early development Oleg said it would be released within a few years...then it gets delayed/shelved/ignored to the point people start wondering what's going on...people are thinking either this sim is going to be super awesome and worth the wait ...OR something seriously has gone wrong at 1c....the latter seems now to be the obvious conclusion..
So I fail to see the devs spending much more time trying to fix this bugged up mess or dare i say are they even capable of doing so....and where is Oleg in thsi important time?......lets face it if he can turn his back on it all and walk away..then why not the rest of 1c?....i find it rather disturbing he has dropped off the planet where CLOD is concerned...after all he was always at the forefront of its development and promotion early on, giving interviews on its status and progress (which we can now all disregard and take with a large pinch of salt!)...shame he doesn't seem so visible now its released, ..i very much doubt this sim will amount to anything other than what you see now in the short term...and i cant see any real long term investment or commitment continuing regards its development.... if the last 6 years is anything to go by...i don't hold much hope for its future!...
Apart from nice water effects, reasonable good DM and good cockpits the rest is rather mediocre at best..and quite rubbish in many/most other areas.
There is just so much that is just plain wrong with this sim that it doesn't make any sense at all... many of its features are far worse than IL-2's...so how are we supposed to trust, believe or have hope or faith in this sim being fixed when after so many years they have already promised so much yet delivered so little!..so am now left wondering how many of them are even bothered with it all now...looks like Oleg isnt..so who else is?..makes me wonder.....

Wow! With so little confidence in the product or the developers you would have to be a mug to hang around a waste even another minute of your time on this sim. With so much more in the world to do why would you waste your time.
Bye and good luck!
I on the other hand am willing to put up with the teething issues and am using this initial period as a training exercise without wining because I've got resonable performance and can see how much potential this sim has got.
Cheers!
