Thanks for the feedback.
Somehow it made me fell less bad regarding the 49.99 € I spent in this software.

I'm with you. Things are a bit worse than I expected. Seems like 1C lost abunch of the CoD crew years ago. I appreciate the news but this is very dissappointing

On topic:

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated as usual.

I trust that hiring new people and setting your artists to work on future add-ons (and thus, paying them) instead of giving them a lengthy leave of absence means you are mostly out of the woods financially speaking. I've always thought "if it has problems they'll fix it, as long as there are funds available". It seems like they currently are, so no worries from me and i'm happy to see my purchase is being put to good use.

I run medium settings on a mid-range, two year old PC (i7 920, 3GB RAM, Ati 4890, win7 pro x64) with good frame rates, there's still some things to fix (both performance and gameplay issues, mostly controls) but this is not the thread to report them and i'm already having too much fun with what's included while you repair the rest of the features.


Speculation/idea:

Maybe it's the support for Steam overlay functions ("player X has joined such and such game", steam's community features) that's causing trouble with the full screen mode? I mean, even if they are disabled the support for them is probably hard-coded, it needs to somehow overlay things over the main game display and since it was announced somewhat late maybe it's not a completely seamless integration.

It could be a good idea to ask valve directly about this and demand their cooperation if such an issue exists, after all they too stand to make a profit by selling your sim.

Sorry to say so, i don't have any "stakes" in whatever forum "vendetta" you guys may or may not have, but this is one of the best come back lines i've ever come across on an internet forum. I'm noting it down for future use, it's that funny

Enough with apologies. The cretins making all the noise don't want your apologies they just want to destroy your product/livelyhood/life. Even if the release had been flawless they would have found something to criticise as I guess you didn't make their plane/ammo uber enough in 1946 or maybe the IL2 series was to much of a success for their liking and they have taken it upon themselves to knock you down a notch for your impertenance. Don't bother apologising as the only thing they want is you on your knees in a gutter begging for spare change, they are not even interested in the game and the future of flightsims.

I feel sorry for you having to bow and scrape for the approval of a bunch of (insert expletive here).

If this game ever reaches the promise of its potential it'll get the same support from me (at least) that I've given OFF over the last few years. That of being the best sim since RB2-3D.

It's good of you to check in. Much appreciated and good luck with progress.

I think it's a bit early to be talking about "new projects" considering the sorry state that CoD is in.

Thank you very much for the update, I think having someone offical who is in the know to answer the communities questions about CoD is a very worthwhile idea and hopefully will be a good step to reasuring the community along with the patches.

Thanks for taking the time to read peoples post, I do feel way more positive now we have offical word again.

Good to hear all is well and making progress!

Working Comms a MUST! Also the ability to turn shadows on/off for different parts of the sim!
