At this point would be better say somenthing like: probably October - November 2012 but not a promise.

This waiting, as you says, is going to be really ridiculous.

Take your time, and give us a break with F5.

Because they both go hand in hand. Modellers work on the sequal, coders work on the errr code for the engine. two different jobs entirely. Takes as long as its takes to get it spot on.

ehh no. we payed them so they could have a future and thus make what they want whilst we wait around like idiots 12+ months for a fix for somthing that should not have gotten anywhere near retail market place. illegal non working game thats what clod is.

check the dev sniggering behind his desk void from having to account for himself!

Not "we" kimosabe! You maybe, but I've spent the last year enjoying flying the COD.

I been spending my time exploring the highly detailed environment. Nap-of-the-earth flying in COD is probably the best low level flying in any combat air Simulation bar NONE. When I get to turn the trees up a few notches it will be enven better! I've been getting my butt kicked big time on ATAG (Just getting my bullet shreaded plane back on the field is a major victory for me ) I suppose they don't call us the Fifteen minuters for nothing.

Through the help of the very positive and supportive elements in our community I've been able to enguage in ground attack missions using the Blenhiem, getting right out of my comfort zone, but have gained a real feeling of accomplishment being able to get my bombs on target and if i'm really lucky get home in one peice.

I very sorry for you that you feel you've been wasting your time with COD. Lifes too way too short too waste. I hope you find something you enjoy doing and can immerse yourself in.

Just asking: is this kind of posting legit in this forum? Very harsh attacks on fans and developers alike.

Interesting thought, but highly unlikely, their investors would have pulled the plug along time ago if that was the case.

dang! yep, too many bugs to let it through at this stage. i am confident that the "Clod" series will be a flight sim masterpiece at some point. unfortunately, masterpieces are not produced overnight.

This is what worries me. Il2CoD graphics engine is not optimized. They optimize the graphics engine so framerate doubles.... All the things that slowed the graphics engine down are now porked. They're going to fix all the graphical problems one by one. By the time it's all fixed we'll have the old framerates back. To be honest, if that's the case I'ts cool with me aslong as the stutters and slowdowns are gone. Thanks for the update.

I wonder if it's the DX10 or D9 version that's giving them headaches. Maybe time to abandon the legacy systems and concentrate on the future. This trying to cater to the common denominator is hobbling progress.

while i agree with you about the catering to the LCD, it would be impossible for them to remove support for direct x and thus everyone who uses win xp, (which used to be me up until the end up December of last year) At this point with the game box saying you can use Win xp (sp3) when someone new comes along installs the game and steam updates it to the latest patch, and all of a sudden the game is longer supported for win xp....its just a big fiasco...

In fact just looking at the game box, direct x 9.0c is mentioned three times in the system requirements...that would be pretty bad and akin to false advertising...they would have to produce stickers and mail them out to the retailers and manufactures to put over the old requirements change the package...but you would also have alot of customers who are essentially cheated out...

Since the sim is marketed as being compatible with DX9 and 10, it would probably break a whole stack of consumer laws to render those "legacy" systems unsuable with CloD.
