This is answer from Luthier, not from me. I read his answer on russian forum, but a think he answered here too. Devs have FFB in "must do" list, but not in first lines. I do not post like devs, english is not my native language, so i post just haw i can, sorry

I can understand the opinions of the "mainstream users" as well as yours. But this is the forum of the developer. It is inevitable that there are some critical remarks.

Yes critical remarks I can understand.......but lets make them constructive perhaps? wishing an untimely death to any employee of UBI or 1C is NOT constructive, wishing for the demise of these companies is NOT constructive, writing overemotional 'letters to the devs' about how you deserve better because you have played their last game for the last 1000 years so they owe you everything is NOT constructive.

No, I just wanted something that came close to what we have been promised all these years. And it is not - nowhere near. But I understand that for some people IC and Oleg can do no wrong regardless of the lengths of the delays and the poor quality of the final product. Why they have that totally accepting, uncritical, pathetically grateful for anything they're given attitude is a mystery to me.

My last post on the subject.[/QUOTE]
Thank God for that.

My last post on the subject.

fingers crossed thats true...but I'm sure there will be others with the same agenda following

All a matter of oppinion, clearly you are no fan of Maddox games and are disposed to treating what they do with contempt, whereas some others are quite impressed with what is on offer, ans why not, is there any other sim on the market that even comes close to this level of detail?.........thought not

Its been 6 years...6 years of high hopes and hype about the wondeful IL2 successor...And Oleg has allways took pride in remindind us : IL2 is the best...Even by 2011 standards...And SOW will be 10 times better ! You'll see !

Its not that Oleg and team owes anything to anyone, but they created so much hype and high expectations by their own means, that when COD came out so much broken and unfinished,( wathever the reasons), it was a double negative effect... 6 months ago we have seen things like "pilot bail" and "waves on the beach" animations, highly realistic gauge "glass" reflections in cockpits, high quality smoke rendering, etc, so we all assumed it would make the first release since they were apparently on schedule and no sign of real problems in the horizon...And remember Oleg promise: It will be very close to photorealistic...
I am confident we will get all that someday ...But 1C is responsible for the worldwide disapointement they are now trying to overcome....But I personnaly
have faith in Luthier...

Salute !

Are you from the developer team, or why you need to force everyone here YOUR mind?

Can you not live with the fact that there are other opinions?

[bongodriver]

LOL! force everyone to my oppinion, all I am doing is countering all the petty complaining that is going on, I have no power to force anyone to do anything, I can live with oppinions that are well reasoned like Kalimbas post above, it's not a pathetic attack on anyone like the die hard haters I have seen here.

[Chivas]

For whatever reason/s Cliffs of Dover was released before it was ready and I understand the disappointment, but get a grip. You know that the developers are going to do whatever it takes to get it fixed and add features. Show a modicum of foresight.

My own opinion on the roadmap is performance optimizations and hardware support first (I can't use most of my gear and despite high end computer it is absolutely unplayable: 5-30fps no matter what circumstances). Correcting or producing new content, interface etc should be low priority.

I support you, devs. I bought the game despite knowledge of the many problems (as soon as the epilepsy policy was changed). I have faith in that you will patch the hull and work it into something very special.

I want you guys to take care of yourself foremost. Otherwise, you will burn out, with a sense of distress by even hearing the name "Cliffs of Dover" because of all the bad associations. Exercise: There is a sweet spot where one gets huge benefits with the least effort, around 30 minutes of aerobic activity. This can be a brisk walk or a jog, depending on your physical condition. Biking. Swimming. Do it every day or every two days. Trust me on this, it gives enormous benefits to concentration, sleep, lowers anxiety by a large amount, feel much more awake & happy. SLEEP 7-9 hours every day. Eat regularly: no more than 2-3 hours between ingesting something; this is blood glucose levels. Take many breaks away from work (even if small) and do something totally unrelated to the game for at least several hours each day. Don't bring work home. Take at least a full day off per week where the game isn't even allowed to be mentioned. And when working on it, try to think of the things you enjoy about your job. Make it fun, not unpleasant pressure & stress. In the end, everyone will do a better job and be much happier doing it.

Sacrificing health & sleep is not something that helps productivity in the long term, because even if one spends more time on work, one performs so much worse, while feeling like crap.

Please tell me where?
