Skoshi come off it, I and MANY others are incredibly pissed at maddox for what they did to this community. If you wanna just get crapped on and say Please may I have some more. Than go ahead, but its about time they got some REAL management over them. I have nothing but positive things to say about RoF and 777's style, they have made me a happy customer many times over.

I guess it is better than nothing, and some speculations were real.

Guud luck guys, let us see how it turns out.

Well can't say that I am totally suprised, guess where there was a little smoke there was some fire...
I had a feeling something might be up, when they released the final patch via Steam so quickly after RC2 came out for testing, and said that was it until the official announcement.
If there is one thing we can always count on, is there will always be change going forward. Hopefully this will be a good thing, and only time will tell.

Obviously the concept of future merged installs with CLoD, along with the current title benefitting from future development is now out the window. CLoD is now certainly a stand alone product, and we will see no future improvements unless somehow modders get involved in some way.

I am not off to a good start, as I can't seem to get registered on the new official forum. I have sent B6 an email so hopefully he can get me squared away.

Certainly a sad day for the current interation of the IL2 franchise as we know it, but hopefully better things will be on the horizon.

Could we have a tiny bit of additional information on this?

So it turned out that Tree_UK was telling far more truth than Luthier.... who would of thought that?

To be sure, it is what it is. I'm a little suprised at the general air of optimism at this news. I have been visiting the forums of late but I'd completely missed the sense that CloD was in the coffin and has been for some time, something that seems to be generally acknowledged.

I had hoped RoF and 777 would get into 40s era combat simming, perhaps with a Flying Tigers sim, I know Jason and 777 were into that. But really, it's the death of the CloD engine and Maddox flight sims that I'm lamenting. If Zapatista's right, the RoF engine isn't going to be able to offer us the same future. But it's better than nothing. Rights to the CLoD engine might be transferred at some point and it might breath air once again.
