Good, now that means it's starting to hurt for 1C. Not at all undeserved, given their attitude.

[David Hayward]

Yeah, great news!! I'm sure the game will get fixed faster if they have less money!

this train has departed a long time ago.

Not sure what you are talking about, but I am real excited that the devs will have less money to fix this game.

I have been reluctant to purchase it until it runs better as i will need to spend quite a bit of money on my computer specs to get any benefit from the modern modelling/performance.
I do wonder whether they will go down the ROF route,free or cheap d/l but you pay for extras ,i e Dynamic campaigns,weather,realistic sounds,add ons and opening up to a more encompassing air/ground first person shooter sim.
Seems horrible it has stuck in the mud already.

Don't know how it will turn out, but in a simHQ interview they did back around the time RoF was released they were asked about this and they thought the business model is not good for a flight sim: it generates good funds for further development, but the developer is "locked" into modeling extra flyables to generate the revenue to the exclusion of everything else.

A complete expansion lets them "sell" other stuff along with it, like new ground units and FMB objects, which is needed to give the player enough tools to recreate the relevant scenarios in more detail.

Again, i don't know if they changed their minds, but the original plan was to stick to the IL2 way, full-fledged expansions every few years with a few freebies thrown in from time to time instead of micro-DLC transactions for single items.



P.S. Can we all just play nice for a while and not rehash the same old arguments here?

In the past North America has been able to get the d/l from just flight.

IIRC he mentioned more multicore improvements and DX11 at some point, both of which will improve performance.

I HOPE to be wrong, but the reality is just this... no news, no patch, nothing at all.... this game is on the right way to be classified as "abandonware" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abandonware

No, that's another discussion entirely, you stated that they could not make further performance improvements, which is factually incorrect.

The reason we have no news is because whatever Luthier posts gets torn to shreds, I'd shut the hell up too, most people wouldn't have lasted as long as Luthier did before clamming up either.

Thank the pessimistic hordes for your lack of info.

Abandonware, lmao.

Oh I believe it, my reaction was more towards the money side of things towards development etc. I just hope it keeps getting worked on, I would pay for DLC but as already stated that would be geared towards extra flyable content as opposed to an overall package.

I just hope they go the expansion route and have some solid anti piracy in place which would help towards the future of this release and games like it

what is incorrect? have they proved something that the performance can be improved? It doesn't seem like that, about lack of informations seems you are well informed as I see. Tell us how the fixing are going please...
