does him bother you?

well......yes, non constructive whining bothers most of us.

why he should stay away from the forum?

see above

are you the owner of this forum and you decide who should stay or should leave?

you know all those times people say if you don't like someones posts the just ignore or don't get involved etc? well it's like that....if you don't like ClOD or 1C or MG etc then just stay away and don't get involved.....non?

As stated by Luthier, CloD will be supported UNTIL the release of the new game so let's hope it's not released any time soon. Wow, never thought I'd say that about an upcoming MG installment.

Or it just means that the new game will just be an expansion (as well as a standalone), as with all previous Il2 sequels, and thus it and any patches or improvements made for it will also improve CloD. I don't mean to be harsh to anyone at all, but I think everyone is seriously overthinking what Luthier said. He probably said what he did so that everyone could see that they're still thinking about the future of the series since there's no reason for him to say 'by the way, soon we're not going to care about this game' as that would seriously harm sales. Even if that were the case if he has any business sense, which I'm almost certain he does else he wouldn't be managing the project, there's no reason for him to say it so he wouldn't as long as he wants to make money.

EDIT: Sven pretty much beat me to it

The Oxford dictionary defines the meaning of until as up to the point in time or the event mentioned.
Oleg Maddox ran the iL2 Team before , Luither runs the Cliffs of Dover team now, so I would rather hear it from him that the game will continue to be worked on at least until all bugs,collision models,map errors etc are fixed & if it is neccesary after the release of the next sequel.
I will continue to post on this forum as I always have as the future potential of the game looks to be quite something .

I don't know why we are getting our knickers in a twist over Luthiers words, they don't mean anything, he just randomly says stuff that he thinks you want to hear, 'community manager' for one, 'SLI is working' is another, '50% performance increase' lol. It's just mindless rhetoric with no substance. Luthiers words are cheap and so far his actions do not speak louder than them.

It is absolutely necessary for Luthier's team to work on the sequel and sell it as well. If they follow the previous ways, Cliffs of Dover can just be merged with the new title and ultimately come together in something like 1946.

This way the engine keeps getting updated and thus every step ahead in the new title performance wise is a step ahead in Cliffs of Dover. That's the way I see it. Luthier can't keep working on the series if there's no income. Is your purchase of Cliffs then in vain? No of course not, I am enjoying Cliffs of Dover right now and the money I spend on this will aid the continue of the series and Cliffs of Dover.

I agree with Tree in a way that things supposedly fixed in previous patches, but aren't, still need attention before the next release of the series.

But things like 'I won't buy another game from Maddox Games before Cliffs of Dover is fully fixed' is unreasonable and you're only helping yourself by destroying this already small market of flight sims. Rather you should invest in this series, if you truly like flying a WW2 simulator.

Hi.

In an attempt to tidy up and collate your posts regarding "when the next patch is due" and other wonderful requests and ideas, I will move them into here.

It would be nice if you could make your postings in here so they are easier to find and read, and save me having to drag them over.

Have fun !!

It's been turning for too long, lets not have anymore negative posts, lets all just focus on the positive, or make suggestions rather then trolling
