I want the game to succeed, but every time I launch the game it makes me depressed its so disapointing in so many ways I just shut it down and cant play it.
So much of it is so wrong it just destroys the immersion and my will to continue playing.
I have given it about 50hrs to get to this state, I keep hopeing that upcoming patch(s)
will fix its many failings so I wont be uninstalling it I just cant bring myself to play it.
I dont regret buying it and I hope it continues to get fixed, perhaps in a little while it will fullfill its potential and become a "must have" flight sim.

I must admit, I can't go more than about twenty minutes before I quit out of it too. It's like having a gorgeous, genius girlfriend. Unfortunately you can't tell what she's thinking and she won't clean herself up. She also has a bit of a stutter...

Yes but at least she's good at something that occupies you for twenty minutes.

What have the patches broken? I've found they've improved the game each time, but the game has always been running fine for me since day 1. I'm just a little bored with the QMB and the useless campaign.

I've been enjoying multiplayer lately but the problem there is the numbers, nobody flies red. I've never seen the bf109 being so popular before, a shame really as I've always been a 109 driver and almost feel forced to jump in the Spit to make up the numbers. My kill ratio is 10:0 right now (I don't count the one time I got bounced by two AI planes and crashed into the channel and the two crashes I had because of lag.)

I hope things change quickly and the Spit drivers come back in force and teach me a good lesson as I was never this successful online in IL2.

I look at it as a groundbreaking sim that's about 6 - 12 months before its release date where we were given the opportunity to buy in early to beta test it. Currently it's more of a technology demo than a sim/game.

But that's an optimistic view from my perspective and I've already got my fifty bucks worth out of it, despite expectations for it to be more finished than it is.

So I don't take the bugs too seriously myself, given the understanding that they are being fixed over the next 6 months, so long as they do keep at it.

I understand also those who are severely disappointed because it's not a finished sim/game and fully expected it to be so because it was released as such. Most people require more or different things from a sim than I do after waiting this long and it's not because I'm complacent, just that I have enough to do to keep me busy while new features make it in. Others don't or have more time to burn through the rather skeletal features than I do.

If I get bored in the next few weeks I'll just do something else while it catches up.

Well. I guess I can put in my two cents.

I have flown the game eleven hours over the weekend.

My opinion.

I love the cockpits. The shadows. The head shakes.
I also like the look of the surface of the sea.

The rest looks like old IL2.
Rivers look dumb. Trees look dumb. Shorelines look dumb..
Buildings are too cookie cutter to be convincing.
FM feels easy. Ground model feels dumb.
Airplanes wings lack detail.

I give it a six stars out of ten.

I don't mind paying the fifty bucks though, if that's what it takes to keep things rolling. (The world is in a recession after all...)

Odd, I can go at it with her for hours.
