A final message from Luthier

[SlipBall]

There was nothing ever wrong with the engine, the patch's hurt the engine, complainer's demanded more patches...in short, we killed the game. I am flying the release now, it just needs some horse power to run, and some AI commands to enjoy.

Personally I think your wrong there mate, rushed and shoddy product killed this game, we only wanted what we paid for and were told we were getting.

Just my opinion

Thank you Luthier,

You and your team have made a great sim and I feel it will be seen as a benchmark that other WW2 flight sims will have to be measured by for a long time, it truly is a beautiful combat flight simulator.

Good luck with your future endeavors

Thank you Ilya for your hard work and dedication.

Thanks especially for the glimpse of brilliance that is Cliffs of Dover. It is sad that it will not now take it's place with the best of the best, but it has certainly set the bar so very high!

Good luck and best wishes for whatever the future hands you.

Have to agree with Kris. The game had some nice aspects but was mismanaged from start to finish and deeply flawed. If if could have been saved with all the years and dollars that were invested in this mess, 1C would not have killed it. But they did so it is what it is. And it's nobody's fault but the developer's.

I respect that, and I guess it was a little of both that did it in. I don't believe the computer needed has been invented yet either. Volksieg is on the right track I think

As for Luthier: Goodbye.

Some people go out of their way to show how small they are. This is an example. In this thread, if you have nothing good to say then just keep it to yourself.

Luthier, I can't thank you in many ways but I'll dedicate my next film to you as a token of my appreciation. Flying CoD online is mindblowingly fantastic. A true glimpse into a simming future that I hope will truly come to fruition one day.

As a young boy in the early eighties I devoured books on WWII aviation and daydreamt of flights I would never be able to make in Spits, Messerschmitts and Mustangs. Then flightsimming came along many years later and suddenly I could live out my dreams. Your work has Given Life to Dreams.... And that is not a small thing! So thanks and good luck with your future endeavours.
