No


That's where MS FS ('04 ~ FSX) series never improved... the "Out of the Box" was always (whatever the reason) left to 3rd party to fix.

A quality product to begin with, may have some merit in the game's design team developed expansion packs... but the likelyhood of that product staying a quality one, upon 3rd party chargeable content, in later (new version) releases, is not a strong one.

Even duct tape can't fix stupid... but it can muffle the sound.

Default 'Not Yet' Option missing

Voted 'No' as there is so much wrong with what I've already paid for.

Once the basics are put right free of charge then I'd be willing to, as I already have with RoF.

'Just Flight' recently had a sale selling the basic CoD for £13.99.
I bought two collector's editions on release for £50 each and was happy to do so in order to assist the developers, as I'm a ten year IL2 supporter.

Here we are 4 months later, waiting for a new game engine, new sound engine, new lots of other stuff, no comms, insane AI behaviour, multiplayer only possible without trees, useless track editor etc etc, without so much as a hint as to progress since the 6th of August.

This now has led me to change my whole opinion and attitude towards the developers from one of trust and total support to one of mistrust and total disappointment. Whatever internal politicking, mis-management and/or staff changes led to this sorry situation is absolutely none of my concern as an end user and consumer.

It also means that whatever 'expansions' are released for CoD, I won't buy them until they come down in price from the initial release price, and not at all unless and until the basic game becomes as useable and enjoyable as IL2 Sturmovik, DCS A-10 or RoF.

No.

Not unless they actually fix the game first.

I voted for "Yes" because I generally would pay for additional content. But before the game would have to be fixed. So give me a working CloD and lateron some more content worth the money and I ll get it.
If the question would have been:"Would you be willing to pay for additional content for CloD in nowadays state?" I would have voted "No".

If by content you mean addon-content AFTER the sim has been patched up to a playable, stabile state actually worthy of release, then yes.

If you mean pay more to get the sim patched to a playable, stabile state worthy of release, then hell effin' no. To the 30th power.

The results of this poll are clearly wrong, as the majority, so it seems, of voters dont take in account that the OP meant "additional content to a working game" !

That so many people here actual seem to think that this sim will stay in the actual sad state is unbelievable, imo.

The devs have stated that they are working on a patch to fix things and have presented a timetable, what happens?

The same old regurgitating of old news.

I think you should read his post again Rob.

Improving the issues with CoD and meeting the needs of the community will take time and money.

I am aiming for continued support not for the next month or two but for years to come.
That is what i am refering to, Dutch_851.

Ah, I see. Well I've already spent £100 of my money, and that's enough from me for the basic game to be made good.

Had I bought it @ £13.99 from Just Flight, maybe I'd be willing to shovel in some more cash for the basic game to be made good by buying additional content, so my attitude of 'not yet' still holds true.

'They are fixing it' isn't the same as 'It's fixed'. At all.

How dare this subject even be approached with the state of the sim in it's present condition.
Although if this post is meant to further display the discontent of the majority of purchasers, then good on it. I believe there are too many fanboi's willing to accept the substandard product and associated excuses on these forums.
To chastise the "squeaky wheels" as being "counterproductive" in their display of displeasure, is also unacceptable.
