And if this poll would have went up the month after release then I may have been a bit more emotional about it but as it stands the money has long been spent and there is no competition out there for the same product type at the moment so for me the longer it goes on the easier it is for me to wait and be objective about the fixes

That said I can not fault anyone who is still holding a grudge as I am equally capable of doing just that....... LOL its been 5 years and I still wish evil things on Dell for the Bollox they pulled on me and that's even after they finally did the right thing lol ....took em bloody long enough ..... but I digress... oops

I must say that even if these numbers do not really reflect every flight sim gamer in the world, kind of like polls that get taken at election time for me i was surprised at how many people, of the ones that participated fell into the 50-70 zone If i would have guessed the outcome prior I would have put a lot more people closer to each extreme rather then smack in the middle very interesting

Now,.. after reading the update I was very please to find that all the major bits on my list are proposed to be included so if all goes well the good news would be that my next score would not just be higher, but higher because I would then have fewer reasons left to not play CLOD over IL2 46 and that would be a very good thing indeed (with the exception of offline content of course which I know will be a long time coming)

Again excellent thread It combines my favorite things about these forums having a chuckle at the slap fights, interesting information and different opinions

Cheers all

No worries, i was just pointing out pretty much the same thing: if people take some time to justify their opinions in a civil manner (like you did) they are easily acceptable, even though they might be starting from the same pool of data and yet reaching different conclusions.


Also, thread clean-up time. If anyone's post is missing, it's in the arguments and speculation megathread in the pilot's lounge section of the forums. If it's missing it's because someone was drawn into some off-topic bickering or even started it himself. Use the provided arguments and speculation megathread or miss further posts in the future.

Sadly, non-inflammatory posts that quote flamebait material also have to be moved, in order for said flamebait to be completely pruned from the topic and us not having to read it if we don't want to.

I can't afford to let the same few people (along with some innocent bystanders who will take the bait from time to time) derail a thread that has remained civil thus far despite the different opinions present, one that also has the potential to provide some kind of measure of progress between patches and help the developers see what the community thinks of the sim without having to waste time dredging through the rubble.

Those of you responsible know who you are, keep shooting yourselves in the foot and i'll keep moving your posts to that lovely place that can be easily ignored by everyone, thus defeating the prime purpose of trolling (a high visibility provocation to get a wide-ranging reaction).

I have a lot of patience but once it's exhausted it takes time to get refills, so either argue in that thread if all you want to do is argue or expect posts that disappear altogether in the coming weeks when i'm finally bored babysitting.

Nothing personal, just being clear about it: the forums should not be dominated by a small vocal group which constantly fights over two conflicting agendas in a repetitive manner and bores everyone else to tears, they should be readable and enjoyable for as many people as possible.
Believe you me, they will, one way or the other.
