S!

Well, CoD has been a bumpy road but I think eventually it will get there. And Battle For Moscow sure will help as it will bring in funds needed for further development. So I remain hopefull that IL-2 series will once again rise. RoF had it rough and now it is a totally different thing than when released so why would IL-2 not succeed as well.

Sure the development and these years we waited did NOT bring on the table what we expected from the previous work. But anyways improvements are coming so..

9 months after release and still no fsaa, thats shameful really its 2011 for godsake. They do not deserve any success in truth with any product.

S!

Tree, I play every game without FSAA as I do not need it..For me FSAA or lack of it is not a gauge of measuring the game quality. I could play with less fancy graphics if the core of the game was rock solid, like FM/DM etc. Future will tell what happens with IL-2 series..I for one do not wish it to fail as we have NOTHING compared to it except the original IL-2 series..and no other company is making a sim that can be taken seriously atm...

and no other company is making a sim that can be taken seriously atm...

Seriously? I bet you've never tried RoF. Or A2A's FSX addons. CloD has a long way to go - in which I wish them good luck, I love this game and it has great potential.

RoF yes A2A seriously... Are they adding weapons now? Doubt it.

So there are no other ww2 fight sims... Simple FACT

The A2A Spitfire with the Accusim stuff is actually a lot of fun and seems amazingly well modelled - even without guns that fire.

It may not be a WWII combat flight sim, but it's definitely a WWII flight sim. If you've never tried flying the A2A Spit and you have the chance to do so, you should. Might not be your cup of tea, but it's definitely an experience.

At the very least it'll make you wish the cockpits in CloD were that detailed and functional.

Never tried the A2A Spit. Is it totally accurate? As in, do you think you could actually start and run a real Spitfire after spending some time with the sim?

To be a WWII flight sim you would need a WWII map, environments and associated objects to fly in. I thought the A2A Spitfire whas just a plane. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, how does FSX go with thirty odd players go in the one map. WWII was all about formations of aircraft.

Both apples and oranges are very good but difficult to compare.

My understanding of the FSX and A2A spitfire is that you have a modern day flight sim with a WWII aircraft (very detailed) in it. But that does not make it a WWII Flight Sim.

Cheers!

While I agree with you about potential, its totally unrealized. Its now clear to me that CLOD was just a cash booster to make way for the real game Battle for Moscow and to test the game engine out but make money doing it.
This would never have happened back when IL2 was IL2, now its a different animal and we are dealing with a company(s) that will release something saying its finished when they know otherwise.
I think reality shows the truth.
