I have accepted the approach by the Devs to concentrate on new development and don't expect a large investment of their time to bring COD up to full completion at this time. I do expect though, that the sequel will have some form of compatibility wherein we will get to experience COD as it was intended to be from the outset.

In the meantime, I and my squadmates will enjoy flying on some of the great servers we have until the sequel arrives. I see great potential despite the current frustrations experienced by all parties.

Despite my venting at beta results and procedures, all-in-all, I'm enjoying the sim immensely.
Yes, there is plenty to vent about, but COD is just a map, with some dedicated aircraft, missions, and campaigns. Everything depends on them fixing the game engine and features for the Sequel. Any fixes will apply to all maps. When you fly the COD map in the sequel, the game engine, and features won't revert back to the version of features that we have now. Yes the mission and campaigns won't change, but the community will fill that void, building much better ones with improve game features, and game engine. Although Luthier has been sending mixed messages about the business model and Sequels. Hopefully the announcement on the future of the development will be good news.
