The point you're missing is that they focused on adding new things to the sim such as new airplanes new objects etc etc. But what they failed to do was address some nagging issues that still plague 4.08 today. I mentioned only a few above. At some point a developer has to move on. Providing "free" updates isn't going to effect the bottom line. It's a simple and obvious business decision.

Where I find fault in it is that they had plenty of time to add something like 6DOF they said it couldn't be done to the quality standards they wanted because the cockpits wouldn't support it. Fact is it can be doneand it was done with no negative effects. How do you take that as a customer. Guess it depends on your priorities but that's a different discussion.

The simple fact is that many things could have been addressed but they were too busy adding more stuff which in turn continued to add more problems. They ignored the community even when the help was offered for FREE by Natural Point.




I can't comment on your first questions because like you I would only be guessing at this point. In terms of harsh words it is what it is...

Absolute rubbish

Oleg actually said they didn't have the time/resources/money to redo all the cockpits in IL2 for 6dof to their standards and keep his cockpits integrity in place, as TIR isn't strapped to every single persons head who buys the game and isn't a cast in stone requirement it makes sense not to re build every single pit in the game for a minority TIR users who admit themselves its not essential.

As an SoW requirement then yes its essential, only as as a marketing point as its something else that helps sell the game.
