I dont care what the Whiners say...

[ElAurens]

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.

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.

People never got over the fact the sim was released unfinished. Of course its going to be buggy, what else could it be, until its finished. Unfortunately there are still some issues that hopefully the Sequel will address. That said the improvements should foster the building of more realistic BOB missions, that should be very playable for most users, while we wait for more feature improvements in the Sequel. I'm hoping they release the map SDK before the Sequel so users can start improving the Channel map sooner.

There is still a great need for constructive criticism that the developers can use to change, add, or adjust features in the Sequel. Constant unrelenting whining serves no positive purpose. Even some of the worst whiners, conspiracy theorists, still want the sim to succeed, you have to wonder what the h8ll they're thinking.

Just had a marvellous time online at one of the ATAG servers. Very enjoyable indeed.

I think the last patch fixed up the sim ok. Not great by any means but acceptable. Like many others have said I've gotten my monies worth. Then again if I'd paid $50 to get beaten with a stick every day for the last year and better I'd have gotten my monies worth too so that really isn't saying much. Value, like beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Another thread mentioned perhaps it was time to lay off the development team and move on. Maybe it's time to let go of the whiners theme so many here hold close to their hearts. The "community" is still obviously divided maybe never to be whole again. Nearmiss' less than subtle threats of retaliation for opposing viewpoints help no one.

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

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.

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.
