Off-Topic:There are a lot of people with a lot of skills in modding, programming and such.
Making new planes, I bet people will be able to make them to the level of CoD.
Now the community's fixing the game engine, I don't see much hope in that, a game engine is an extremely complicated software, that requires multiple knowledge's.
I don't know how many people the MG team have working on the game engine, but I bet is a fairly big number, and a community couldn't even get a close number working on it!
Let's say the team have 50 programmers working full time, and it takes 6 months to fix, in a community it would take 6 years with a lot of effort!
I don't blame MG's team or anything. They are building a game engine from scratch (This sentence means a LOT LOT LOT of work!)
The only thing I don't understand is in this forum what is the 1c's main forum, the most active forum section is the IL-2 CoD, the Friday update last week in 24hours had 10,000 views, and this forum have all the time 50, 100, 150 members active, and there is a tone load of people that don't even check this forum but care about the game!
What means this game it's still be best seller and the best odd of money investment.
In this kinda of situation, when you have a project that is profitable you should put all of your resources on it! Making the time line smaller, so you sell faster, you sell more, you make your customers happy and you make more money!
More man power = more programmers = less time of development = more costs
But at the end more = profit!
I bet if all the entities related with this project had made the right decisions, the IL-2 name series would never be damaged, and they wouldn't lost tones of costumers, like they did and keep doing!
For us people active on the forum and community's around IL-2 we just hang, watch (some cry and whine xD) and we wait.
But the new people, the new costumers, the ones that didn't even bough the game, now they will not buy it, because it's not prestigious game name anymore, and all world have a bad feedback of it! Their luck it's there is noone on the competition on this game market, because If some business man from microsoft or other big company figure out there is still a big profitable game market. Then 1C and MG's have a big problem.
So if you want or not, if you want a damn good combat flight simulator, you gotta wait! There is nothing else besides IL-2 1946 and IL-2 CoD...for now.
Back on topic:
^^ People need to chill! If you watch the clock every second you will get mad! Don't watch the clock and let the time fly! Nothing you can do! =)
