Friday Update, Q&A - December 23, 2011

[naz]

Thanks for the updates B6 and Luthier, (and your further clarifications Ilya) . I am quite positive about the future of the sim after reading your messages and really don't understand much of the negativity. Each to their own I guess.

Have a Merry Xmas all.

Game Computer $1500
Hotas Warthog $500
CH Pro pedals $100
Track IR4 $120
3x22 inch monitors $900
CH trhottle Quadrant $120
Cambridge soundworks 7.1 surround sound $200

Bitching about the $50 we're being charged to play the game we plundered our kids college funds for...Priceless! (I know, I know, I bitch with the best of em.)

Merry Christmas to the 1C team and the fellow sim junkies out there!

Amen BigC
I got $5K in this rig, cockpit and controllers.
I'd pay $500 bucks a copy if it delivered everything that was promised/expected.

Put it into perspective

Way I see this CloD and sequels, we are on a similiar evolving path like we had on IL-2, generally every development step forward were benefical to previous instalment of the product and completed the overall simulation to be more perfect.

Agree. I believe the game engine will continue to improve step by step, sequel after sequel. But implementing all those improvements takes money so fixing this first step of the series can continue only so long. So I think this latest update is good news for people who are interested in the long series (the new IL2), but maybe bad news for those who are interested in CoD as individual game only.

I'd be more comfortable if they called BoM DLC instead of a sequel and also charged for it as such.

Isn't that what they are doing?

[BPickles]

So we have to pay again if we want a working game. Not me.

And of course all the FM's overhauled, AI included. Navigation and landing lights would be good also.

That would mean paying about £200 altogether for 'Storm of War - The Battle of Britain' (Ibought 2 CE's of 'Cliffs of Dover') and it'd be worth it. I think I'd be happy with that.

I don't feel like spending diddly-squat on BfM at the moment.

Throw in the blackburn Roc, the Westland Whirlwind, the Boston, ect also and Id pay £50

[Insuber]

I believe that 99% of those who declare that they won't buy BoM will be the first to jump on the wagon ... flight sim addiction is a bad beast ...

[rollnloop]

I swear i'll wait 3 months after BoM is out before i jump in, and i'll jump only if the reviews are ecstatic.

You can quote me on this when time comes.

[ivo]

sorry for my question, but BOM is battle of Moskow ? and this will be an add on of Cliff of Dover?

Bye Ivo
