I think the question from op was more to do with, why oleg m. abandoned the game "dream", not why are there no third party activity. Your thoughts on that please, I think he was overwhelmed and tired.

Exactly, all you lot blaming the boys in Paris need to aim your poisoned pens about 2500km to the North East...

Be Very Sure.

Oleg posted this video on his YouTube account...maybe this is where his dream is going?

People send him stuff. It is made by a fan.

Oleg is one man, he did his job, now it is up to his team to get it optimized, can't wait for movies to come out with clod simulation, Oleg Maddox is the' man.

Its simple Anything you buy hot off the grill you run the risk of mistakes and flaws. My dad would never buy a car the first year that model would come out or the 2nd year.

That said you will have people that will buy something and whine till there blue in the face and bash others for there own mistake Or talk about people like they know them or know what that person is thinking and do the talking for them sounds like drama at the ubisoft / 1c company watercooler from people that have no idea what they do

I can't tell you what any of ideas or programming they have come up with or done ....But I know from my own eyes that Ubisoft held back Cliffs of dover from sale in North America for 3 - 3 1/2 months while other websites sold it world-wide at the same time ..So that leads me to think 1C company was given "upfront" money to devlop and bring forth to ubisoft and Justflight to do what they needed to do...sell and make money..Ubisoft pushed 1C to have a release date and already was selling it to Eruope without any upgrades or bug fixes while holding it on lock down in America Maybe because the idea of selling it in a american market it would get bad reviews due to a bigger media market ..Youtube TV gaming shows etc etc ..

Right now with my gaming .. It runs great no real issues
How often do i play? : i don't really play the game
why: I find ingame control of up and down is too bouncy I have yet to line up and level out level with a target
And yes its a game programed setting not my joystick or lag

Oleg...is history

Oleg was a one-hit wonder.

Was a hell of a hit though.

Oleg's dream brought us a beautiful yet incomplete simulator. Currently 50% of the features planned in the Oleg's era are disabled - according to developers - because they don't work.
Luthier's and 1C plans are still largely unknown to us.
From the latest post, we can infer that there are plans to rework some basic aspects like sounds. There should be also a new expansion, regarding probably the Battle for Moscow.

For the time being, I fly CoD a lot online, even if sometimes it seems a bit empty. I will enjoy it better when the numerous bugs will be ironed out, and there will be a complete simulated world as in Oleg's dream, including ground units and all. IF it will happen, of course. But I'm optimistic. And we will all remember Oleg as a visionary man.

Cheers,

The truth is that majority of those people are dimwits, like in any other game community. The thing I found too funny is the fact that those are mostly 25-55 years old men doesn`t seem to change anything. We still got retards bashing the devs constantly demanding a refund. Yes, right now, they want it now or their money back. The patching of the game, developping it like all the rest of famous flight sims doesn`t seem to ring a bell.

I read those posts and I genuinely wonder where were those guys in the past decade? Things just work like that, but they don`t accept this, even if it means the shutdown of the title they`ve been asking so much for.

To add to that, a lot of them idiots bring up FPS games as worthy examples of why this game is an unfinished abomination. Do I even have to comment?
Next thing, many people complain that the game stutters. Yeah, but they are asked to give system specs and all I see is a mid range PC at least two years old. Looks like too many people got spoiled by consoles and console games which literally put a PC game market to a stop. So the common knowledge now is that every game should be able to run on max settings on a 2 year old pc. To those folks I have one thing to say : just scrap your pc and return to your console because you are too stupid to use it anyway.

Maybe. To me it looks like those people don`t have anything else to do. I am astounded how can one be so mad over a 50 buck video game when so many things pose bigger problems? Hell, your car can break down and require a 500$ repair anytime, you can get a 500$ ticket etc. Normal poeple who have lives (ie. things to do) don`t even think of moaning so much over a video game. A normal person who found CoD unplayable just takes it back and gets his money back or puts it back on his shelf for the game to see better days. I don`t get it how one can get worked up so much about it.
