CLOD features discussion and speculation (moved from Friday June 15-2012 update)

RoF is sparsely populated; that wouldn't wash for WW2 environment.

BTW, I have an older E8500-based PC (building a new one now). I can play IL2 CoD on higher settings than I can RoF. No-man's land is treachurous on my FPS. How can dirt, some ditches, and explosions be so demanding.

Don't get me wrong. I like both sims and, for me, both capture their respective historical periods well (though CoD green doesn't look very English to me, a Yank).

RoF is a nice little sim and it looks also nice and runs smoothly. However I do feel that RoF is a well matured product with little further evolutions to the future possible.

And although the FM is not bad it is definitely not the pinacle of FMs and has its flaws. I for my part think that the FM is not the biggest strength of RoF. Where it excels however is DM imho.

Yeah, I noticed how the 'updates' are very carefully worded so as to reveal as little as possible.

I thought they were carefully worded because some community members seem to have difficulty understanding the meaning of basic words and phrases like 'Hope', "would like", 'some time after', "maybe".

They seem to mix them up with words like "promise" and "definately" and then take it as a personal insult if their unfounded expectations are not met.

I think what he is saying is 15 months after its original release COD actually performs poorly unless you turn off the features that define it as the " next generation " of flight sim.

Or perhaps he meant as I always say " actions speak louder than the few ambiguous ,misleading, empty words offered. "

I was thinking about things like, "On the aircraft front, we’ve done virtually everything we wanted to do..." Which could mean virtually anything, depending on their whim at the time. I think it goes without saying by now that what They want to do and what We would like them to do are rarely the same thing.

If we were unified on what we all wanted I would agree with you but since the community isn't they have decided to follow there own plan of action.

That usually is understand as "customer syndrome". Every speculation you put in your customer he will think it gonna be archived just the way he thinks!
