About making waves... only rich or less intelligent people vote for DLC, imo of course.

I can see the ROF business model and the original IL-2 business model being used in the new series. The developer selling large theaters including aircraft, third party's supplying payware smaller theaters and aircraft, and the mod community supplying free and paid content.

Everything in COD will change over the next ten years, alot of it we will pay for. We will get plenty of free missions and campaigns from the community, maybe even some aircraft and cockpits. The developer will be making aircraft and cockpits for other theaters that can be used historically on the COD map. Hopefully third party MSFS developers will start providing payware aircraft aswell. Other third parties will develop and build payware campaigns like the Battle for France and Poland, that could include new aircraft. Many third party small maps will be free, others payware, depending on content. The developer supplied tools will make the content for the new series virtually endless.

The Channel Map will be greatly improved and detail added free by the community.
The developer will add Dynamic Weather in one of the Sequels that we'll be able to add to the COD map for the price of the sequel. Most any new feature added in the sequels could be added to the COD map.

You could argue that some features were promised for COD, and we will have to buy the sequel to get them, but the problem with that is there were never any promises, just features that the developer were working on that they hoped to implement sometime in the series.

The future is starting to look bright. The Channel Map will be just one of a hundred maps that we will be able to apply the latest AI, COMMANDS, FM, DM, Graphics, Dynamic Weather, etc etc etc.

Even though I now have Rof, and have purchased all the planes, I still do not like a business model that has you purchase cockpit items that should be standard equipment, you know, things like gun sights, and instruments.

I understand that flight simulation is a dodgy business in and of itself, but there are some things that just don't seem right about pay as you go systems like R0F's.

I enjoy the sim, but it is getting a bit limited in scope because of the way that online works.

I would much rather purchase large expansions, like we did with IL2, that come with more maps, and various ground and sea objects, that really flesh out the historical aspects of any sim.

Lord, I hope you have shares in the future tense. Do you talk to this crystal ball? Does it talk back? Is it a potato?

Thousands of maps, millions, in all possible multiverses of shiny futures everywhere. Will, will, will, will....

Except that Luthier confirmed Clod dev is effectively dead after this patch, which contains a round-up of bug-fixes, some nomimal improvements, and by all accounts an effective re-write of the graphics/rendering engine.

How on earth did you get from Luthier's posts to this conclusion? An Oscar Pistorius-powered pole-vault?

So what part of Luither saying CoD will follow in the footsteps of IL-2

Where IL-2 received upgrades, improvements, new planes, new maps, new features, etc with each sequel

Do you not understand?
