CO-OPs again...

[furbs]

heres a few reviews of IL2 when it was first released...

Combatsim TOPPICK!! A instant classic! http://www.combatsim.com/memb123/htm/2001/12/il2-rev/

Gamespot uk 9.2! http://uk.gamespot.com/il-2-sturmovi...review-2829773

IGN great! 8.2 http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/165/165150p1.html

Il2 had great reviews despite its bugs, i know i played the heck out of it for almost 2 years solid and had a fantastic time both online and off.

I dont think i need to post reviews of CLOD, the one we held here had was about 56% i think.

Yes im being negative, im sorry but i spent 1500 quid on this PC to play CLOD after i was told by Luthier that the bad performance was because of the lack of RAM at the Kiev show(thats when i ordered my parts).

I still cant play CLOD without a crash EVERY time i try and play.
some people payed 50 quid for this sim and after 8 long months almost none of the key features(not even going to talk about the missing ones) work 100%.

FM
DM
CEM
sound
Graphics
AI

those are the key features of a flightsim right?
None of them work as they should and some are so broken or off the mark its not worth calling them realistic for the planes they are superposed to represent.

Yes we can go and play airquake online with the 50 other people in the world playing CLOD right now but it gets old getting attacked on the runway because the AA is rubbish.

When i see post from the development team asking for help with the AI(really? they are supposed to have been working on the AI for 3 months already!!)...really?? they dont know what its supposed to do??? really?? they have had 10 years with IL2 right?? Oleg said the AI it would surpass IL2 by miles remember?

If you check back before release my posts were positive and full of praise for what i was seeing and hearing from Oleg and Luthier.
I spent weeks of my own time years ago to take over 200 pictures of pre-war houses, farms and buildings for this sim to help out back when i used to beta test stuff and like i say ive spent 1500 quid to have a PC to play CLOD so ive invested time and money in CLOD and im unhappy so far its far, far from what it said it would be.

When Luthier stops the delaying tactics and patch padding and something gets actually fixed and the sim stops crashing every 20 mins, then i will start to feel better and have a more positive attitude.

Its been 8 months, its not much to ask.

i hope this has been less of a rant. and gives people i idea of how i feel.(as if you didn't know already!)

I think quite a few people here spent £2000 to 3000 on there pc for this game I know I have, but given how much money I expect you have pumped into world of tanks I can't help but laugh when you mention the cost of the cod

Furbs, I'm with ya brother. I really tried with it god help me I did.
But no matter how much duct tape you apply its still a broken toy, and as such not worth my time. When the game becomes functional in the key areas you listed above ill be back, until then there are plenty of superior competitors to keep us entertained.

Yeah we know all that guys, but speaking the truth here only gets you a ban, I know i've done it many times, you just have to nod politley to all those who still believe in dragons.

Great post Furbs.

Great post Furbs.

Truth? You guys just can't handle the Truth!


wiki - "Various theories and views of truth continue to be debated among scholars and philosophers. There are differing claims on such questions as what constitutes truth; what things are truthbearers capable of being true or false; how to define and identify truth; the roles that revealed and acquired knowledge play; and whether truth is subjective or objective, relative or absolute.
"

I think it's something to do about men not wearing enough hats?

Happy new year and here's to a better 2012!

Well yesterday I and 2 of the squad mates tried to get a coop mission going. After 2 hours we gave up.

None of the coop-missions (1 from 1C, the others downloaded from airwarfare) were working. We managed to load the il2coop lobby mission though. But we never managed to actually fly a plane. Some launcher.exe crashes occured, too.

Verdict of the evening: It has to be a lot easier to get a coop going, before we will try again.

Please tell Banks what went wrong in his thread. If there is a problem with the lobby he can solve it quickly. http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthr...t=28559&page=8
However from my experience usually difficulty settings are set incorrectly or some files copied into a wrong directory. The lobby works for others if installation instructions are followed step by step. They are very easy.

LeadTurn is going to publish his set of coop-missions soon btw. Keep an eye on that thread.

Banks coop lobby was working as advertised - the coop missions themselves were not working.

There is a huge difference between the original and the latest IL-2. One was released basicly finished with a few bugs, the other released atleast a year to soon. So of course one should receive better reviews than the other.
