Oleg's dream

I wonder what was going through Oleg's mind when he was signing autographs and lapping up the glory at the Russian release, I bet he was hoping to trouser as much cash as he could before someone came running back to the store demanding their hard earned lolly back!

Chasing and chastising human's contradictions is quite futile, everyone bears 1'000 of these.

I've met Oleg,he's a nice guy.
I imagine he was feeling a huge amount of embarrassment,probably contractually obliged to be at the launch as the 'face' of il2/CoD,and hoping to get ther h£ll out of there before the balloon went up and the cr*p hit the fan!

Yeah I think you are right, it would not have been a pleasurable experience knowing what was round the corner.

I can't wait to quote some of the statements made this forums crybabies in six months when we are moaning about the fm of 109e7 and f when most of the problems have been resolved.

The moaning and negativity is starting to piss me off, yes this release has being a farce but you guys have to take a break stop moaning and have a pint or a cig, whatever floats your boat but just keep away from this forum or keep a lid on it. If this game is still in a bad state six months from now THEN it will be time to tear your pound of flesh from Maddox games gutted corpse.

nobody expect CLOD to be super sim at release...but compared to IL2 release...its more or less, a complete failure and loss of trust amongst hard earned fans...we can debate forever but the only truth is that me and all of my friends (squadmates) who bought this sim never played more than 1-2 hours...some of them arent playing at all anymore...enough said

Just how many times do the woes of previous flight sims have to be brought up.

The original il2 had it's fair share of problems at launch as did rise of flight which I struggled to get working for a few months, yes clearly something went sour at Ubi or MG or 1C perhaps with all of them. At the end of the day we will one day be laughing at this unflattering start of what I am sure will one day be hailed as a huge success.

After this amount of time since release I have serious doubts about this being the case.

Even if they fix all the bugs and performance issues, ugly external sounds, ugly neon landscape etc etc...this title with its limited theater is doomed to limited success

This isnt an fps, this is not a mainstream genre therefore we can't just wait a few months for the next game to come along.

There is nowhere else for us to turn if we want a highly detailed historic ww2 flight simulator therefore the normal rules do not apply. There is only one hand feeding our habit and therefore while we moan and complain we know that this is the best we will ever get and will have to put some faith in MG. The ww2 setting is a dying game scenario so this is it people, (unless 777 venture into the ww2 era and they still have a lot to do in ww1) therefore we gave to swallow the pill and show some support for the only developer that gives a damn about our addiction
