I don't envy luthier...

I agree with all.

I have been pretty content and impressed to just fly around England and France and marvel at the beautiful details inside and out of the plane. But...yesterday I tried a number of missions and what a mess...sound dropping in and out, a few freezes, stutters, many, many things that took me right out of the experience.

Time will tell but I can remember when CFS3 came out and it was such a disaster it ended the MS CFS franchise. Hope the same doesn't happen here. I would love for someone who really has the inside track to report on how a sim that is in development for six years gets released like this. And the whole Oleg thing. What a mess!!! I just hope they have the time, money and talent to clean it up.

Well, I think that North America's release will be the real turning point...It is 1C's last chance to make COD come back on the track...and get enough good reviews to bring new players along and getting back those who quit...
And the fact that Oleg, the father of the mighty Il2 sim is now gone, will contribute to the falling prestige of COD. Luthier has a huge cliff(!) to climb back...Both technical and marketing wise...
COD needs to get at least 80 % grades to keep the community interseted...and UBI' support to "finish " the game...But that is my personnal conclusion...

Salute !

This is the first IL-2 flight sim for me to try. I very much like the sim.

The things that are in CoD are second to none.

I also see CoD as fixing the problems.

I also think that alot of the problems of the sim not working on some of the players PC is strange. I have a upper middle range PC and the sim flys good. The big thing is in my case I need 64 bit os. Cod tryed to reach a wide range of PC with XP and up. Thanks for that. But CoD is a 64 bit sim.

I can live with the sound problems. The controls is what needs fixed. Such as the ammo load outs and the gunner positions. To me you get that working and CoD is on its way.



I think this Sim will be fixed by the time it hits the USA market.

CFS3 was a real pig, alright. By the time I had a PC capable of running it on High settings, it looked totally obsolete.

But I think what killed CFS3 was mostly Il-2. Especially after the Aces Expansion pack, when you could compare the planes in CFS3 with Il-2 versions.
