COD is a bloody GOOD SIM !

[kikque]

I've said it before but this sim has huge possibilities. I am still amazed by the lighting in the game, sunset is just incredible imo. It's great to see the long shadows from every tree etc, I've just been flying around looking at that lol. Even the trees look great (rustling in the breeze).

I just hope that the devs continue to get the funds to polish everything up into the diamond it's waiting to be. I think a few people have been short-sighted in flaming the game. Sure the teething troubles are a drag and annoying to the customers, but I'm sure the devs aren't happy about it either.

I agree to some degree. I´ve also played several hours and got fun. But there were also moments where I wanted to blast something up (something else but my engine ). I´ve no problems with performance. Okay, I won´t start a bigger battle over London but I can have Dogfights with up to twenty aircraft and thats okay. Most of the time I´ve been annoyed because of the total lack of information. I don´t know how to manage the engines because I don´t even know the allowed temperaturs (from CoD documentation). Some aircraft have different systems than documented in the manual (eg Hurricane mixture). There is no mission briefing in the campaign. I´ve to start and don´t even know my callsign, don´t know which direction. I get no information at all.
And thats annoying me. Its a very good game with huge potential but it lokks to me as if they got used to their aircraft and mission design that they forget about all documentation. I hope that tere will be more like checklists and briefings.
See you in the Air

Sure - as said, the game is still lacking in many departments, documentatin being one of them. But potential is there - hope the devs turn it into reality.

i think we are all in the boat of hope here.

potential is there but they need to materialize it with patches....otherwise it`s just...well, potential

There is huge potential here, no doubt about it. I just had a 20 minute dogfight over the channel and I really enjoyed it. (Bugs and all.)

The new physics model is really good. The increased graphics fidelity is really something - it immerses you in the game like no Sturmovik game before...the lighting is amazing for one. The aircraft are really well modeled as well. That water is simply astounding.

Now, with a few patches to sort out some rather serious issues, this sim will be mind-blowing.
