Was I the only one? Cockpit shake gave me the willies after a while, almost like when I just got my first TrackIr. It felt like being drunk or sleepy and not being able to hold my head still. In all my 30 years of real world fying have I ever felt that sensation. Barrel rolls, asymetrical stall breaks, inverted spins, even turbulence, the head always stays stable. Never asked to have it removed though. Probably was another FPS muncher that had to go.
Even though I'm not happy with how things have been handled in the past I'm happy with the outlook. The developers are overhauling the game engine. To me that's the utmost form of support. Game engine broken, they fix it. They could've also patched it up to where it was acceptable but not brilliant and then orphan the whole thing. Now hopefully with BoM we get a better optimized engine and GUI. Even better, it'll be backwards compatible with CloD. All this is time consuming. You can bet your last Dollar (or the devs last Ruble) that they're not going to repeat the cluster coitus release of CloD. So having to wait for BoM to get some earlier promised content and paying for a new game is fine by me. I'm actually glad they 're going this route. It's of utmost importance that they survive as a bussiness. If another company had to start the whole gamedevelopement from scratch we would be without a quality WWII sim for probably another 5 years.
There is so much under the hood of this sim's engine, so much potential. I want to see it all realized. They bit of too big of a chunk when they started. Glad they realized it and now feed it to us piecemeal with each new theatre release. That way computer hardware can catch up with Oleg's brilliant vision. Hat's of for Luthier, he had to make it make it happen with todays and last years hardware.
