Hi all,

I'm not a fanboy. I speak my mind.

Would you have preferred that this sim had not been released?

Such negative replies. You can't see the piers? Well,well, my my! End of civilisation as we know it.

Look at the positives and to the future. And if you think you can produce something better...go ahead and do it.

Best Regards,
MB_Avro.

Well said.

The problem is that many of us do not have systems that can manage the demands of Cliffs of Dover. That is NOT the developer's fault.
The problem is, that the code is not polished. That has nothing to do with nay-sayers or whining. It's a fact. And I have strong doubts that this is the fault of the customers. So if it's not the customers and not the developers, maybe some Gremlins wrecked the code so they had to release it with 50% of the features disabled because they are not working correctly?

And then there would be whining about it not being released soon enough.


Conveniently forgotten the countless threads demanding every minute little detail have we.


And no, he is not a super minority.


Except how it is or move on, freeking simple really.

Yea but at least if they didn't release it, they wouldn't have dragged their name in the dirt. I am not sure what the reasoning was, but they did it. And yes while complaining really doesn't matter we might as well just "STFU", and leave for the summer and hopefully by fall come back to something better, this is a community.

Everyone is here complaining because they care, because they want to love the game, I guarantee everyone in here complaining is an avid flight sim fan, and wants this game to be the best thing for the next 8 years.

So unless the boards are taking away from the 1C company or causing some server to meltdown, you need the complainers, because from my stance the "complainers" are about 50% of the sales, and I don't see any new simmers jumping ship anytime soon.

I got my first online kill last night. It was the single imost immersive gaming experience i have ever had, bar none.

Not only was I struggling to come up to speed if engine temperature effects and the additional work load just in flying the plane that that entails, but trying to identify the tagets against ground clutter and then get into a firing solution without loosing track of the target. (Who helped me in the last moments by flying past my sights! I think he was concentrating on something else)

CoD has it's problems, but no more that DCS:A-10 and ROF when they were initialy let loose on the world.


Cheers

Don´t know about ROF, but DCS A-10 was very functional in its final release form and comparing that to CoDs release is really an insult. Betas of A-10might have sucked like a vacuum, but at least people who paid for beta did know what they were getting themselfs into. Bottom line is; with A-10 final release felt actually like a game you can play, with CoD most of us were fooled into participating for paid beta.

I think this is a point worth of noting, cause both A10 and CoD are extremely accurate and demanding simulators aimed for specific and limited market.

There is also the right way to do these things, and by far the way Eagle Dynamics chose was better. Of course in the ideal world games and sims alike would get published as a totally finished products, with no need for patching whatsoever.

Yeah I have to agree with a lot of the comments.

It's really a Beta so suck it up and wait for new patches. I certainly hope they get enough to make it viable or we are looking at a dead product. You can't sell this to new folks and expect them to stick with it.

It reminds me of DCS A10. Bought the prebeta with all the bugs and performance issues knowing it would become something really good. So far so good.

I really do hope this works out.
