One can see that people are moving on...

[Anders_And]

Well, this board is getting more and more quiet as can be seen by same posts staying far up on the list even without getting any replies... Last friday update has only 8 pages or so...

Lack of small fixes and a feeling that nothing is progressing...
This my friends are how you lose your customers. Poor Blacksix has been given the task of keeping us updated, but more often than not he has nothing to provide to us... Why isnt Luthier here to keep us motivated? Or some of the programmers?

Why does everything have to be released in mega patches? How about one small patch for sound updates (fix the flyby sounds of the 109 and 110? One for the spitfire throttle? Or one for lack of ground friction for the spits?
Or one for grass? One for Trees? One for Clouds? One to give back the damage visuals for small caliber fire? One for hit flashes? List goes on...

Ah well, who am i kidding... That would be logic and customer support...

Dont get me wrong, the game has potential, but lack of support makes people move on and once they have, its difficult to get them back.

Hey if belving that helps you get to sleep at night.. go for it! Who am I to busr your bubble! Just as long as realise your glass half empty view of the world is not shared by all, nor should it be confused as fact.

No one writing doesn´t mean no one watching.
And be honest: There isn´t much to write about at the moment.

It doesn´t matter if people are moving on. As long as they are visiting this forum once a month, they will get information when the game is fixed, and at that point I think many will pick up the game again...

But yes, I would like to have more frequent, small patches as well... (which would be the logical thing to do from our point of view...)

They have to program from the scratch, therefore they must give it to us in one piece

I think you're right, Continu0. In a related issue, I've been concerned with the number of "regular" Red pilots that have been taking sabbaticals since the last patch + Hotfix. However, just checking the ATAG Allies vs Axis Server we have 42 total online flying this instant; 20 are flying Red (mostly Spitfire IIa's and one brave soul flying a Rotol). This seems about normal for a Sunday, but I have no stats on that.

When the last patch + Hotfix was released there was an instant surge of 80+ players on the Server. This correlates with your view that many are monitoring the sim's progress even if they're not actively participating on the 1C Forum and, in this case, the ATAG Server. There seem to be a growing number of new players (always welcome!!!) for both sides, particularly the Red side. Hopefully a new patch will be released soon that will halt the turnover and see an overall increase in total players (regulars and new) flying and contributing here.

AA,
You are correct, people I know are un-installing and moving on due to the lack of progress (or even backward steps)
They might come back if the game ever works correctly, but the big fear (or hope) is that something comes along that actually does what it says on the tin and works properly

It's summer here! Time for outdoor fun!



And they can uninstall all they want. They got your money already. The sooner you quit asking for support the faster they can close shop and go on vacation.

Now if it was a subscription based MMO...that is a different matter.

Now that is funny.. I was just outside playing with the dog and the water hose!
