What do I like the most in CloD - today!

[Screamadelica]

Well said Majo. +1 to that, and thanks to all of those you mentioned, the work that goes on in the shadows is very much appreciated.

All of the above and that damage model, some days I can get it right and saw the wing of a 111 with a two second burst, other times I'll use and entire load of ammo and it'll still be flying

This really is an epic piece of work that can only get better

[bolox]

most have been mentioned before but i would like to highlight the 'user generated content' (and all the helpful advice given by those who pass on their findings)- to everyone who has contributed, my heartfelt thanks.

Also, as one of my personal areas of research is instruments, i cannot fail to mention the cockpits

[Ploughman]

I'm not taking the piss when I say the thing I like most in the sim is its potential. It's early days at the moment, but the sim seems to have so much growing room in it. Otherwise it's just the look of it, the great cockpits, the big sky.

The ground damage model physics, shooting off a hurris wing as it flew low over hawkinge and watch it not explode on impact but hit the ground and slide along before coming to a rest in dust!

Jammy git and very very cool

Very new user here gang, both to CLoD and to the forums here - after spending the last few days trying to read as much as I can on these forums to gain as much knowlege as I can before delving into flying the sim - I must say this is a great thread and a great breath of fresh air for this forum over a lot of what I have been reading.
I have very much enjoyed this thread so far.

You!

I like the idea of it becoming moddable with user made cockpits to some of our AI planes.
Enjoying currently the sound of the engine damage, loud and scary.

All of the above and I like to add that few days ago I was flyn on ATAG mission
with beautifull sunrise and there were two fires, reservoairs probably,at Calais
that looked so realistic.
I almoust allowed to be shot down by some RAF pilot becouse i could't
move my eyes from that sight

Also as a big fan of the old il2 I would add that FM is much,much more realistic.
Feel of inertia is fantastic,I got a feeling that I'm flyin something
that has 2 or more tons.
Earlier when I was jumping between two sims old Il2 seemed like flying RC model.

One thing this sim does very well is the sort of "on again, off again" staccato nature of air combat. One minute you can be in the middle of a furball, and the next you'll be facing clear skies.

You get that a lot in pilot accounts, things like "a 109 appeared out of nowhere, right in front of me" etc.

The admin of Servers, always ready to shelter the few who still fly online. Yeah, one of the few...

People who is putting time into the mission building, a lost battle without support.
Triggers, macros, AI, objectives, maps, weather... working in the shadows of the the unknown.

The Training Videos in YouTube, combat videos, engine starting videos, tutorials, movies...

People making skins, beautiful skins, historical, researched skins...

People discussing technical data about warplanes, performance, flight models, data, envelopes...
The simulation in all its glory, never complete, never satisfied.

People who is immune to discourage.
They are searching for new opportunities to make this thing grow and loudly claiming for what
belongs to them in righteousness.

The generous people belonging to the few, to the best... our last chance.

Salutes Majo.

Quoted for truth.

S Majo!
