I can't remember the last time I played this sim, and I'm a huge fan of it and flight sims in general, playing mostly off-line. Even when the patch arrives I can't really see myself playing it again any time soon, frankly, the game's been so broke for so long I'm out of the habit of playing it. That doesn't mean I wont' buy the next instalment, I certainly will to support development, but this sim's simply dropped of my 'available to do' menu.

I will dust off my game when the patch arrives and hope for that loving feeling to return. |

Considering how is the England landscape, is a good news you guys have changed team for the russian landscape.
For the future, if we'll never have a future for the BoB, would be nice have a new English landscape rebuild from scratch, even if as a third party work. |

Colors are still not quite right, no way enough hedgerows, trees, roads and buildings dont blend with the landscape, apart from that its ok.

![]() I did have to make a few adjustments to my monitor settings as, with it's factory pre-sets, the countryside was a pastel nightmare.... but yeah... I'm 'appy. I think the buildings blend in ok.... but that's probably because I have bad eyesight and can't wear my glasses as they makes my facetrack go mental. Every cloud has a silver lining and all that. ![]() I'm going to have a potter around Berkshire in the Tigermoth later this afternoon to see if Windsor Castle is modelled....... if not, I'll add that to the glaring omissions list. I did see a video of someone doing the tour of london flight and they said they were pleased to see Windsor Castle included..... though I'd have to be a bit concerned as to why Windsor Castle has suddenly found itself in London of all places.

I think France works better than England too. Everything seems too haphazard and unstructured in the COD English landscape. The strange thing is that they did a much better job with the old Open GL version (1946 DVD). Even videos of the pre-release demo version from the Russian games show (Igromir) look A LOT better than I see currently on my PC.

personally I think that is too harsh,
I lived in the south east of England (Canterbury) for three years and go back about twice a year (wifes paternal family from there -Folkestone & Caple Le Ferne) and I think they have done a pretty decent job of the landscape. lots of people complained about the frequent haze but it is very common, even on sunny days. Perhaps the biggest ommission is hedgerows imo but also having lived in Canterbury no Cathedral is a bust. In RL it dominates the landscape for miles around. Perhaps one of the most difficult RL factors to include is the fact that the sea can change so radically, and in short spaces of time. It can change not only in terms of swell but also colour, from deep blue to light green. I would pay to have that on its own in a sim. |

It has been my opinion for a very long time that the devs 'hearts' have never been included within the development of CloD. I feel they are keen to now use it as a sketchpad for BOM and that CloD may never reach its true potential. As for BOM...well I for one will not purchase it unless they one day ![]() I'm still on board though and would love to see CloD working in all its glory, but I still have my doubts as I did 6 months ago. I personally feel we've been fed an awful lot of 'waffle' by the devs since the last beta patch was released and I just hope the graphics engine re-write will have been worth the wait. Then there will probably be an even longer wait for the missing features to be implemented...that is if they decide to go that route rather than concentrating all of their efforts on BOM. The patience of many on here (not speaking for everyone) including me has been pushed to the limit and I think the devs have to do something positive soon to avoid a 'rats leaving a sinking ship' scenario (or did that happen already!). In the end I only want Clod to work as advertised and include the promised features that I payed for. It has to be said that in a year plus since release very little has improved with the sim and although the 'avid' ![]() ![]() I hope that they are able to redeem themselves soon and go someway to making CloD into what they claimed it would be before we see BOM. ![]() |
