I remember a time when on aFriday afternoon there would be a 100 plus members waiting for words from the master... And now it is virtually empty Not a good sign for any of us

There are obvious and valid reasons for this.

no, there aren't.

Well we know Olegs long long gone, Luthier is far too busy to type a sentence and the guy who got the job to communicate with us all is AWOL. Maybe they are all playing ROF!

Oh I'm sorry! I meant that there are obvious and valid reasons for this for people who are not living in a fantasy bubble.

I am obviously not a routine contributor to this forum...although I have tried to keep tuned in to the ups and downs of the Cliffs of Dover saga. I see where people say that Oleg is gone, and other apparently key players in the development of this simulation are also seemingly vacant...where did they go? Who is continuing to correct the problems with COD? Or has it been abandoned...has Maddox Games really stiffed those people who bought it? I see where Amazon is advertising the game to be available after July 19 now...is that accurate and is this delay because someone is still trying to improve it?
It is hard for me to believe that Oleg and his crew would stiff people unless they plan to get out of the software development business. It would seem that such a move would not do their future credibility any good. They all look too young to retire.

You hit the nail on the head. I would never get this if I were you bro. This is a total mess. Horrible.

Luthier stated last week (June 3rd) that the next patch will arrive June 17th.
This is a long list of changes and takes more time to program. So patches will arrive with less frequency.

It's a great sign.

Developers are busy working.....

Trolls have found other targets. I believe that Luthier has done the smartest thing in the last few weeks, which is to stop providing information which is only going to be used to continue to "slam" the product.

The only way out of the current situation is by delivering better code, not by providing more fodder for the grist mill.

I've read all 3 forums every day, and for the last month or more - have refrained almost entirely from posting. It's hard to find a thread to contribute to, as they all head "negative" in about 4 posts. The same trolls time and time again, can't resist the urge for a "drive by".

All forums look pretty much the same. I suspect there are a lot of folks like me, who have spent most of their time setting up controls, flying single player, testing and really getting to know the guts of the simulation and the behavior of the aircraft.

For me, I can't wait till MP is fixed. Why? Then those of us, who've dedicated our time to the flight sim versus those who've made a career out of "forum posting" get to meet in the skies.

That is, of course, less that very small number of the community whose real hobby is "forum expertise" not "Combat Flight Simulation".

S!
