But that the negativity should come from the majority of people who do not even own the game yet or atleast have not tried it proper.

I am not from russia or anywhere where I would understand menu language, but have managed to get it set to fly. (I have pre.ordered and additionally bought the russian version)

I hear things like "this will be the end of IL2 if this and that does not happen"
"I am not buying unless this and that gets fixed before EU and US release"
Seriously? If the game is not as good as IL2 1946 was at its peak then you will not get this one? Well, then you probably should not in my opinion.
Games like this has ALWAYS been a bit slow out the box, and what happens when people develope more and postpone the release? "I will not buy this unless it is released NOW!!!"

Come on people, have some faith. You all know it will be better, you all know community will develope tons of things for it in the future, you all know it will be good. If you dont, then you are new to these games, if so, pay attention to the old game and see the history evolve.

This is not a console game, this is not made for arcadic flight. Making things proper then takes time. Look at DCS and their BlackShark and now A-10C. It has been in beta for ages, they sold it so people could download beta and help. It is still not proper after release, but they fix things as they go along.

I know people will always want what is perfact at start, but it will not happen these days, we all know it.

Let us just support the few, the VERY small amount of people who still bothers to develope these sims for our small community of combat sim fighters.

I am not "old" in this forum, so I really cannot say to much, but I will go on the limb and state... If you have nothing but negativity to write, please do not write it until you have thought of a constructive way to bring your message forward.

Cheers. Cato... Now shoot me down, I know some of you who read this would feel targeted.

If you walked into a restaurant and 20+ people told you the fish was off, would you take a mouthfull?

You're wasting your time Cato, there are a minority that will say the game is porked no matter how perfect or good it is.

Thats how they get their entertainment, If the game was the most perfect game ever launched and it came free with a buxom blonde Playboy Bunny, they would still complain about it


Oleg got us this far (despite my doubts), he's not going to let a poxy filter nor some minor optimisation get in the way now.

Aye, I know. I just needed to say something. Guess it is like speaking to the big porcelain god, after a good night at the pubs. A lot comes out but it does nothing good where it hits

LOL, I can assure you, the minority will turn into a majority when the western version is released. Do you even have the Russian version?

Ah well. so be it then. It might happen, I will still be here, i will still fly.
Name another game other than IL2:1946 and Cliffs of Dover that will suit this genre. WW2 combat flight sim. It is nothing even close to it...

I am just hoping that in time, this will be as good as it has potential to be....
Cause already it is pretyy damn.... pretty... and feels very good to fly...

[LoBiSoMeM]

I spend A LOT of time reading people of Maddox Games and TD talking about "rigid standards"...

Welllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll... Standards about WHAT?!?!?!

What I can clearly see untill now is something very close of the ANCIENT original IL-2 graphic engine, heavy as hell, with a REAL trouble rendering large towns, stuttering in the SAME WAY OLD IL-2 DOES, etc.

Remember the crap talking about mods?

"Ohhhh... this effect mod don't run well! It's not fulfill the rigid standards!"

Now we see all the reviews and videos of this beta stage sim? With this demanding graphic engine with litte things better than IL-2 1946?

Gimme a break, please! I'm tired of be a fanboy. CoD is a big deception until now. Let's face the true!

You would also have no reasonable expectation that the soured fish could be unsoured.......Your analogy is "off" and I am tired of taking mouthfuls of your self importance.

I just did. with the russian version and the pre-ordered western one.
So.......

I am not here to claim the game is perfact, I know it is not, but it is not doomsday and it will not ruin peoples life. Just dont go ramming into big words about this and that. That is all I want to say really. It is not perfect, but deserves some respect for the aim of trying to make it so.
