From what they are telling us the game uses the same game engine as CoD. So if they don't get the game engine going, which will benefit both sims, they wont be in a position to release the next game in the series.

They are in the process of making a new game yes, the new game depends on COD being fixed because at the moment COD is the only game in circulation which uses the engine for all future releases, without a fixed engine there is no sequel, no sequel means no money coming in, and the devs can empty their desks and look for another job in the well known and massive flight simming industry.

Okay please explain what the use of this thread is, they have vastly improved the game with the latest couple of patches IMHO and they continue to do so.

Just let them work, the patches they do now will improve the engine for the expansion and they no that if they don't do a good job there customers won't bother buying the expansion.

Take note of this post.

It's the one simple truth of the whole sequel saga..

In short.
If COD doesn't work neither will BOM. Which also means that if BOM works, so will COD..

I'm amazed at how many of the 'outraged by the sequel' posters have forgotten or ignored this basic point.

I don't think being 'outraged by the sequel' is wrong though is it?

All the majority ask is sort the present (and what came in the past), then look to the future.

Possibly to much to ask is it?

They have stated that the programmers are working on COD, a separate team is working on the new map and the modellers are working on the sequel.

So they are sorting out the present!

hi Blacksix. was wondering about this for awhile now. WE have so many great modders in this community and people who also know how to do this kind of programing.Is it possible to release some of the workload to the community?I am sure the people who helped bring us these fantastic mods UP and HSFX can help ease the burden and get the game the way it "should" be?

In the current state mods would obviously only hurt and add to the mess as they'd introduce their own bugs and uneccessary complications.
And anything else besides mods would cause legal issues and will understandably not happen, ever.

Nothing can be done right now aside from proper bug testing and sending in constructive reports, logs and suggestions. And giving them some time to work.
Not sure why this is such a big deal to so many. I think it's rather hilarious.

It isn't wrong it's just a bit shortsighted.
I think you'll find that the majority want the game fixed, the past is past. Whatever they do to CoD won't fix the last year, so the past is pretty irrelevant.
The future is dependant on getting the game engine sorted, which is what they are doing

If COD gets fixed as a by-product of BoM then that's still the same end result. ie. working game.

1c cannot release BoM unless CoD is working, because that would mean BoM won't work either.

I simply will not buy BoM until it's shown to be working, I think many here share the same thought.

I could understand the 'outrage' if the Devs had come on here and said, we can't fix CoD so we're starting from scratch with BoM, new engine..etc

They didn't though, they said that BoM was the same engine as CoD and that by working on BoM they were also working on CoD.

So by being outraged by the sequel you're basically getting outraged at the fact that the Devs are working to get you a working game.. Strange..? Or petty?
