The fact that the 'CloD community' is this forum is incredibly pathetic.

mxmadman has a point. Forcing this amount of realism is driving players away. My computer monitor doesn't compare to looking out of a real cockpit at all, a lot of engagements exploit the terrible visibility in this game with that 'come up from under the tree canopy' reverse bounce etc.

To be honest, even if CloD ran perfectly, in it's present state I wouldn't bother launching it. The only reason why I haven't deleted it is because I don't need the hard drive space yet. It's first on my list though.

The flight sim community I'm a part of has basically written off CloD, this dev team in general and the only time we spend discussing the game is to mock you people in the Banana forums. We're pretty much waiting for the rest of the team to collapse, fold and sell the CloD assets to a studio like 777 or ED, who've already taken on a few of the better CloD devs who have jumped ship and know how to make good games.

Until then enjoy waiting 5 minutes for your oil to get to the right temperature, not being able to see anything and fellating the modellers here whenever they post a new picture of a barn or hedge.
