Gents,

I just want to say that I admire your persistence in adversity, your dedication to perfection, and the courage to go on with reporting to your player-base.

Love the weekly reports: Even when only problems are listed, this increases my appreciation for the complexity of this sim.

Carry on!

So the competition can breathe a sigh of relief at not getting 'crushed' for the next (insert best guess) then ?

A team that gets it right first time......???? Come on, wake up. I appreciate the honesty but it certainly doesn't make it any prettier.

Not releasing was the right decision. Too bad the good parts could not be released separately but they are probably dependent on other things. Keep working the problems, you'll get there.

Thank you Blacksix and 1C Team.

I appreciate the effort it took you to write this and I appreciate to read an honest explanation of the problems that have not been solved (yet) - instead of hearing the "almost ready", "here are some videos of how a tank may drive", etc. etc.

If I am happy, well I am not happy that I do not have a ready, working 100% percent, fantastic game.
But, I am very happy for many other reasons:
- I have a life (and it is not CoD)
- I know that you are working on CoD
- I know that one day CoD will be a ready, working 100% percent, fantastic game.
- I know there will be a sequel later

Thank you for letting us know the extent of the issues holding back the patch. It should do a lot to keep people calm as they wait, knowing that it's not just a tiny thing that needs doing.

Keep up the work, 1C Maddox! We'll keep flying.

ridiculous... meanwhile we are back on alpha status! We were really lucky today !

Thanks for the details which really helps understand the current situation. I'd rather wait longer and have a better sim which will in turn will attract more flyers.
