Friday Update, January 27, 2012

We are all ww2 pilot wannabees. But we can't be it's 2012. WE can't travel in time and don't have holodecks. We have pc sims. In a world where profi sims have been abandoned 1C is carrying the flag. If we want graphics that will take you over London or the Russian stepp, if we want the most realsitic damage model, the most realistic flight model.....it does take time. The updates and patches for this game arrived with lightning speed.

This game isn't about the profit it's about the passion of the pilots. This isn't some battlefield which is a huge success this is a masterpiece for us few who play these games, so don't make it a question of the 40 or something bucks you spent. I rather have 20 missions or one perfect mission which will surpass all others than a mediocre 500 mission campaign with 50 planes.....dude you can't flay 50 planes.

So just a big thank you to 1C for keeping the dream allive. And there are those out there in the community who appretiate what you all do.
Spasiba!!!

Love the Polikarpov, can't wait to see that thing in flames

IL2 is a business and in business it's all about $$$. They will fix CLoD and the sequel ASAP because they need the income. I am sure the game has generated a fraction of the sales they anticipated because of the problems. They will fix the problems to get the franchise back on track or will go the way of Microsoft and kill their combat flight game division.

Mmm the main thing is that they havent found the solution for the memory leak problem

another way to look at it is that they know the problem and it's related to the main issue they are fixing, making a short term fix would waste resource and time.

I agree the memory leak, CTD's, and Launcher exe, issues are probably being addressed in the next patch by/with the graphics rewrite. Once that is sorted they can consentrate on the AI, COMMANDS, FM, DM etc issues. That said hopefully there will be improvements to those in the graphics patch aswell. Its unfortunate the developers have to be so vague on the Work In Progress, but it does cut back on the endless you promised posts.

It's a real shame that so many are having problem's. I have to conclude that many of the problem's are their system related. I know that the game has some issues, but that will be sorted out in time. It really runs trouble free for me, and is very enjoyable set on medium. That wasn't the case before I went to a 2 gb card, and I did have the CTD back then, before the card. So I would recommend for those having troubles to, if possible upgrade your system's hardware, clean install your systems OS, software and drivers.

Based on what we have seen in this forum,

keeping your customers in the light doesn't help rally folks to thier cause either.

Take this last update for examle, Luither explained how things take longer when you set the bar high, and the customers rally cry was to imply that Luthier is not telling the truth.

Basically 1C can not win, if they don't say anything people complain, if they do say soemthing, people complain.

So how many times do I have to explain this to you before you understand?

I had my STEAM account years before CoD came out. Thus my STEAM handle is not ACE-OF-ACES

Is that sinking in yet?

Now with that said, I have flow with you and aginst you in the CoD ATAG server many times. So please, stop with this lie your trying to float that I don't fly let alone own a copy of CoD. It is just making you look very silly
