Just for the sake of argument...

1. No
2. So what, there are many other Forums.

1C being here, or not, had little effect most of the time anyways, so I'll keep flying, with the planes that are most convincing in terms of RL-performance, as I did from the start.

That would be a sad day!, I doubt I could go back to the original series.

I still have about 4 ROF planes that I bought but haven't flown yet.... And The DCS sims.

But we are a fickle group of people us Flight Simmers! I guess I would fly it until something better came along.

I really hope that the development of the series continues.

Cheers!

Well currently I only use CloD to make screen shots. The graphics in it are (or were at least in the early versions) superb for that.

Sadly it misses so much of the early promises with features being taken away rather than being fixed that I can't consider it to be a 'Simulation', but rather a competent flight game.

Saying that, it is far better than many out there, but I only play offline and there is so little to do. Even a QMB ported from the original would have made a huge difference.

It's a shame (if it is 'over') that the dev's didn't actually take notice of the bugs that were being logged and fix them rather than start work on a sequel? If the foundation had been solid then the future work would have had a solid support to be built on. As it stands the foundation is competent but not good enough to build on.

What I do wonder is if 1c/Maddox does disband then maybe the game engine could be purchased by a another group who could possibly finish what was started?

It seems that where money is involved, anything can be bought so I am sure Ubisoft would love to make some money from their intellectual property?

However with no official confirmation or denial the threads (like this) will keep appearing and for every one not addressed the rumours will gather momentum!

For now Iam happy to hang out at the Cliffs of Dover forum at Sim HQ where threads like this ar currently open for people to discuss the situation as it develops.

Expect the worse... if it all goes Pete Tong it makes no difference.
if on the other hand someone manages to sort all of this out, you can be pleasantly suprised!
