it wouldnt be 49.99$, it would be more than that...
want it or not, and as much sense it woudl made to drop DX9 (trust me, i'd really want this to happen!!!!) it will NOT happen. Its like the grumman thing, tis stupid and childish, but its not going to change.... Except that, in the sequel all they have to do is not print out DX9 support, and that will jsut be a ghost from the past.

Except for the die-hard fanbois the only thing keeping CloD afloat is Heinkills' sterling work and the excellent Desastersoft Wick v Dundas add-on. 14 months on and we still have an unstable sim that is devoid of many working basic features whilst the devs devote the majority of their time to the sequel. I mentioned a while back that I felt the devs have little or no interest in making CloD the sim it deserves to be. For that to happen their hearts need to be in the project... and I've felt for a long time that certainly isn't the case. Ever had that feeling you are being strung along? My personal message to the devs is that I won't touch BOM with a barge pole until CloD is somewhere near being out of the Beta stage it has only recently entered.

Dear Blacksix,
Thank you for the brief information. I can only speak for myself: * Obviously, fixing all reported issues encountered during testing. Great, that is the priority * DX9 support Pardon my French, who cares üöä§# about DX9, we have spent hundrends of $$$ buying hardware for the past 12 months. You have hardly managed to give us a more or less working DX10 model so, concentrate on delivering a perfect working DX10 first!. * Completing all other incomplete graphics and performance improvements YES! please! We're also working through an unexpectedly large volume of reported issues with the flight model. As I said above, concentrate on delivering a perfect working DX10 first!. Give us a perfect working platform FIRST!. Second, since you (=Luthier) decided to start the discussion on flight models, give us transparency: same as IL2compare,  we need a CODcompare in order to understand what is going on with the flight models before you start messing around with them at your discretion. The next version of the patch, which will take a bit more work, will contain all of the above. We'll keep you updated. Summarizing, my point is, fix the first things first and stop adding things to your list, things that will delay the release of the badly needed patch. Respectfuly with my best wishes for a nice weekend, ~S~

Here’s what’s frustrating…
Sine the game was released over a year ago there have been some improvements. The game is more stable for many and they replaced the placeholder IL2 lawnmower engine sounds with new ones. The 109 is brilliant…the Spit and Hurricane not so much and sound like a delivery truck with a bad muffler. Then we wait six months for the Alpha patch and like I predicted, it helped the game run better for some but many found no big improvement and it brought as many problems as solutions. We were told the FMs were being reworked and they are still a mess. We were told about the new graphics engine that would double fps but on my rig I didn’t see a difference…still getting slowdowns in combat, still getting ground scenery popping up, vibrating shadows, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc. Here are a few more predictions…we will get a beta around the end of the summer and it will have a few more fixes and a number of new problems. Then we will get the official patch around December. It will be a little better than the beta but still lacking many features that were teased two years ago…like pilot bailout animation. Don’t even THINK about the super, top secret game feature that will be the envy of the industry. I think that was the product of some extra potent dope someone was smoking. The reality is that our baby was born with some severe disabilities and is unloved. There are a few hard working developers that drew the short straw and are doing all they can to make CLOD a go but they lack the time and skills to do it right and get the job done in a timely way. For every problem they fix they create five more. That’s why it’s taking months to do things that should take days or weeks. This game is going to sputter along for years to come. And when they do introduce the sequel, no one will buy it and will be forced to sell the franchise to someone like 777. As far as 1C is concerned, I’m afraid the writing is on the wall. Our best hope is for them to sell or for another company to introduce a WWS CFS. That may sound crazy but it was Einstein who said “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. That’s what we’ve been doing waiting for IC to create a new CFS for the last 10 years.

Please!
So why do you stay frustrated like this? Just leave and never look back. There are a million of things and games to fill your day with happy laughter's. Just do it, if not for you so for the benefit of the rest of us.
