It has millions spent on making it, and MS know that the DLC packs are a great way to milk the fanbase for more money for data that could and should have been free and in the title at release. Dont forget that most DLC is actually created before the game is even released.

No patch is ever "to late", getting one is good in any time frame. Just be thankfull this game is actually getting one. I have seen countless games in the past that were never patched once and were broken beyong belief.
And why should PC gamers buy IW's crap PC version? They tried to shove a console game down PC gamer's throats.

1. No dedicated server
2. No lean function
3. NO tools for level editing, means no mods
4. No control of your game experiene - no kicks, no bans

Hackers have already destroyed online play for the PC version. Players can't kick or ban them.

What is IW's response to the hack so far? To have videos of the hack removed from youtube to keep it quiet.

Expect to see more of this crap as developers design games on consoles first and port that junk straight to the PC version - you'll be lucky if they don't start requiring you to use a gamepad on your PC.

I hope this console generation last a LONG time, so more players go back to playing better looking and more sophisticated games on PC.

I bet a year from now, way more PC gamers will be playing the first MW than are playing MW2. I know I will. I cancelled my MW2 order as soon as I learned about the lack of dedicated server.

Anton did say they were going to try to get the 109 in and maybe the 190. But I guess publisher told them otherwise...

That's just my speculation.

you'd think they could just import some nice cockpits from the earlier pc versions of IL-2, as they undoubtedly already exist.

Targetware, a free user-created sim in beta, has great cockpits for its German planes. You have to control everything in the plane, too, fuel mixture, fuel tanks, wheel brakes, weapon selection, etc. And there's no HUD, so you actually HAVE to look at the cockpit instruments.

The thing I don't like about having to look at the instruments is that the only really practical way to do it is with TrackIR.. which is way too expensive. Else you'd be messing around with your hatswitch all the time, trying to center it, you'd probably need zoom, etc.

It's pretty easy with a controller.

I know a controller is not in the spirit of a flight sim but, consoles don't ship with a flight stick.

If you're placing so much emphasis on the patch, I think you're missing the point of the game and would probably be better off playing MW2 or something instead. Because that game is in no need of any patching whatsoever.

If you can't have fun with the game as is, then the patch isn't going to fix that for you.
