RC means release candidate, it sits between being a beta and a final release.

RC = "Release Candidate", it means that the beta patch is nearly completed and almost good enough to be an official "final patch". it is a "candidate" (eg eligable) for release (soon)

it usually means that most elements they are working on are near finished, and they are confident it is almost ready to be given official status. it is released in this "condition" as a final check to look for some final residual issues and bugs they might not have had extensive enough testing for "in house", so they release it to the public for feedback. big companies with large software programs can go through a series of Release Candidate patches (eg RC1, RC2, RC3 etc..) that they release to their beta testers as they get closer to releasing the final product (microsoft usually does this with their main programs). other smaller software houses might just have a RC1 and maybe RC2, and then produce the final patch/program

looking at the amount of residual problems and some new bugs in the latest beta patch, i'd say they are nowhere near having a final patch ready, and will need a big push focused on dealing with all the major bugs/errors and add some missing features, quiet a big job since luthier indicated his programers might now be able to focus on resolving CoD issues and take a pause from working on BoM, hopefully we will still get that effort

Wow! What a nightmare. They fix the RAF plane speeds, but you can't start them! They return clouds with shadows, but you get them flying over the clouds too. They make targets easier, to see, but now you can see them through clouds. They break the real Battle of Britain fighters but include a stunt plane with lazers?
And this the nearly final patch is?oh this must be a joke, right? Nice one Ilya!

Well, it does look quite good, for a video game circa 2008 - 2010.

Disclaimer: haven't tried it with the RC patch while sober (afraid to).

Not sure if I want to download my easter Egg.

Happy with my old piece of Xmas cake!

If we don't want to buy BOM we should at least have the sim we bought working.
This should NOT be a option where you have to buy product B to get product A working ,that is called blackmail.

Luthier-

"The situation sucks. I see no reason to sugarcoat it with bull. I don't want to go make empty promises or try to prove that black is white. We released a faulty game. We did more than even seemed possible to fix its faults and add improvements, but in the end it was not enough. There has to come a point where we begin to focus on the future, and Cliffs of Dover just becomes something we can all learn from"
