We all know flight sims need patches. It's just taking a long time for some basic stuff.

Example: TD's 4.11 patch was causing CTD's for most folks. 24 hours later there is a hot fix. How long has the Launcher crash been for COD now?

+1, TD's support the last 24 hours has been A+ quality.

They stated that they would not fix it because resources are going into the new patch which is coming with a reworked graphics engine... then they ran into some problems they didn't want to work on patching a problem that could take a long time when they are already presumable stretched working on the new patch and addon.

why waste the resources on making a 'hotfix' for a program that is going through intensive therapy, the launcher crash is probably related to the deeper issues going on with it anyway, I get CTD's too but am willing to wait until the job is done properly, the 4.11 CTD problem was probably a tiny issue that took a couple of hours to fix.

Absolutely no disrespect for TD's hard work, but have you notice how long it as taken them to develop continued work on an already finished game engine, never mind having to build a game engine from scratch. Even with TD's much smaller work group and time available it should give you pause on how difficult it is to develop a far more complex project like COD.

No disrespect to your opinion or 1Cs' work, but TD are amateurs working on it in their spare time and have so far achieved a lot more than the 1C team back in the day.

CloD on the other hand was such a train wreck to begin with that a comparison is invalid anyway.

I have great respect for TD's work, and if you reread my last sentence you quoted, you will see I've stated exactly what your expressing.
