If such an obvious thing as the explosion bug is in the beta (you know there are something called alpha right?) then that is for me a clear indication that something's wrong in the development chain. |

Half a year on, still the 'one step forwards, two back' dance. FYI I have made a truckload of bug reports and tried to help, but it feels like trying to help a CRACKHEAD who pockets the money you gave him for food and clothes and returns to the demon glass pipe. It's a p*ss take of Biblical proportion and most people have little enough free time to enjoy themselves as it is. I already have a job, don't need need two. CoD at times is work. I am not a 1c employee, and while I will try to help (and certainly have done) within reason, getting things sorted is in fact their job. Capische? Cheers. |

It's more than obvious that 1C do not have their own testers and that they rely on us to do their work. I wouldn't mind being a beta tester but alpha? Nah. I'm not sure I like this new process where the customers/clients are the alpha testers. Make a parallell with buying a car or any other product if you will. - "Great. Now the turn indicators work but they're inverted (handle down=right indicator and vv). I love the new iPhone gadget you introduced but now the brakes don't work anymore." I suggest 1C asks the community for beta testers and pick out 300 or so for a closed beta. Then sets up a closed beta server and give the testers a t-shirt and a mug or something and mention them in the "thank you" text in the game. |

Also, try to get it in your heads that Luthier isn't releasing patches, he's trying to finish the game! At this pace this game shouldn't have been released before Q4 2012. Of course we moaned and wanted it released ASAP, who wouldn't have wanted it released?! That wasn't the reason they released it though, it was some other reason, most likely lack of dollar reasons. Anywho, don't point fingers at the community, we are IL-2! Fact is, we are playing an alpha stage game on it's way into beta.

Really, I think Luthier shouldn't bother anymore, its clear this project is well over the heads of the DEv's, give the game to the community, let the real pro's fix it like they did Il2.

For me the game is running quite well, obviously you can't test it fully until they remove the crash bug. Tree stop throwing your toys out of the pram.. It's a beta and luthier specifically stated that some system were experiencing problems... I could agree with your toy throwing if this was a proper patch but this is a BETA we are meant to test it. That said from what I have seen cockpits over saturated and land is back to being too pastel coloured.

S!
Well, Luthier and his team were given a pile of unfinished code done over 6 years, restarted and whatever. I do not envy his task of finishing this product. So this is what we got for now and until Luthier's team get their work done we just have to test and wait. But fact still is that the game is far from being even remotely ready. Potential, a step to right direction or a beta patch is NOT same as beign ready. I already shelved the game and went to other games like World Of Tanks, A-10C Warthog etc. and just check the progress of CoD now and then. Maybe in a year or so it is mature enough to actually be what it should have been from the start. Really, I wish the Cod Would be ready and a shining start, but now..choose yourself. |

Those complaining about it without considering that is a beta is likely to be those who have not yet accepted the fact that months ago bought a simulator in an alpha state.
The damage has been done at the release, and now the only possible thing we can do is be positive, cooperative and patient. just my 0.02 eurocents |
