No not sure, sorry, flew it once with external views off...I had a hard time loading my shotgun too.

At the moment I'd rather spend a hundred bucks on quality FSX payware than 10 bucks on anything related to CloD.

Your never going to get over the fact the sim was released unfinished are you. Of course it could fail, but they haven't stopped working on it yet. The game engine was designed for third parties to build aircraft, and there will be no restriction on the type of aircraft. Civilian flight sims don't necessarily have to be commercial traffic only. If the sim survives there is nothing to stop the sim from having some effective air to ground communications, and dynamic weather, as both of which are planned anyway. Of course I'm thinking in the future, which should be obvious to anyone, and doesn't need to be pointed out. If it does happen it doesn't matter how long it takes. If its good people will fly it.

: Cool:

By the way, the Su-26 sounds ok ingame, is really fun to fly, and the physics in CloD is better than in any flight sim i flew. Maybe tme Su-26 need some tweaks in FM, but CloD have a really good flight sim engine.

Some people just need to install the last beta patch and see all evolution in performance, work done in FM and DM, and not just keep focus in negative things.

The naysayers beggins to be more boring than the fanboys...

Yo, some of yous had the bitter pill with your coffee this morning (or night).

Throw it in here cuz the mods won't notice it as much as the Luthier inspired threads?

Easy target, time to take a potshot

.

wait someone forgot the "ROF can model the SU-26 better than the SU-26 itself or the FM so flippin' awesome it doesn't need Starwars TIE weaponry and the period abomination SU-26"

----

I did notice how Clod improves on flying when compared to the FSX . . . shoot I remember in the UBI forums 1946 had a preferred FM to FSX . . .

----

short:

maybe a some for novelty. But droves? No. The game's state, computing power required, and lack of mods / user design access such as 'design your own red bull race course' or 'snapping jaw pylon' or Svetlana AI . . .

----

long:

I'd say a few dabblers, but not a big movement. The game's issues have been fixed, but the majority of the fly for fun people don't have a system that can handle it or if they did, they'd just get it for novelty.

A fly only sim requiring a modern PC is MS flight, and it did make it out, but it didn't have good reviews, and MS later cancelled further development. X Plane is out but even the latest doesn't look as good as 1946 modded . . .

So most of the fly only people (I'm generalizing) might not have the monster PC for IL-2.

Back to the novelty . . . the fly only people will probably choose something like DCS because you have the shark, the A-10, and the mustang which covers helo, slow jet, and ww 2.

but more detail

A)
well versed with this games history and knowledgeable about PC's (like they know required specs for any game is basically the minimum and overshooting is much win and can upgrade their stuff and rule out wonky CTD or game not running that's caused by UAC or antivirus etc)

And if they have extra cash, they'll try it for a spin.

B)
have a system that runs MS FSX and IL-2 1946 really well, and are actual civi pilots or just love flying only and non combat

they know about PC's but if the game doesn't run after install, they hit up manufacturer tech support

They would google reviews on this game and pass . . .

C) hard core civi flight simmers. they have a beast of a machine, can fix their own pc, and have all the stuff. Or they have a machine that works the best for what sims and mods they want.

They have their tweaked MS or some other flight sim that's modded for their purpose.

These guys might try it but there will be same number of them that are so entrenched in their specific game they won't.

that's my take
