Fight fire with fire?

For all those people who complain heavily... if there was no IL2 future, would you have won? Would you benifit from the poor performance of IL2:Clod? Would we do without IL2 as a future? What we you all go on to in the future without a WWII combat flight sim?

RoF? - Not WWII
DCS? - Only two aircraft?

It might not be 100% But what else is there? Either you support it and it grows or... Train simulator?

Well, apart for the fact that one's life shouldn't gravitate around this, it still remains that the end product was a botched job and we've been feed bs for more than a year, don't you agree? You feel it's the right thing to keep on feeding the same machine if some things don't change?

I'm not questioning the potential here, I'm questioning the very very poor managing and comms that sent all this wonderful potential wasted. My concern is not in the skills of the team, but on the managing, obviously something hasn't worked somewhere, and in any professional environment when something gets screwed up it's the managers that get roasted.
If the managing issue is not solved, you might still see the same issues happening with the future products.

As per alternatives, I tell you what, I'm having a way more rewarding experience flying with the modded IL-2 1946 at the moment, cos those underdog modding guys are s******g diamonds for free.

but hey you know what? Who am I telling this to? I said it months ago that this fix would have happened nor the product would have been finished, cos all the signs were there and all the people in good faith here kept on dissing my opinion and the one of other skeptical folks like me.

It's called denial, and it's the same denial that brought Luthier to this sorry state.

I'm saying this now, 1st October 2012, CoD won't ever be fixed, not even after the release of the new sim, and just like this one, the new one will have loads of bugs, because by the way Luthier explained things, it really sounds like the whole game engine is just a bit patched up, unstable mess that is not giving the hoped results in terms of FM.

But hey, feel free to say I'm wrong, cos I'm actually the first one to say I hope I am! So far ALL my predictions happened though, let's not forget that while to most of us this is a hobby, some here are making a living out of it, and if you look at it under a professional point of view it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that things are going really bad at Maddox Games.

I hate myself for having to write this, cos I followed and supported this sim from the very beginning, I was probably the first person to play it in Italy and to create the first Italian community, and I ALWAYS vouched for it, but since the change in the line managing things have gone bad.

Some people should just step down and change job, not only because they lack skills, but because they really need to work on their attitude, as a professional and as a businessman dealing with customers.

That's it, I'm done with this topic.
