Oleg's dream

nobody expect CLOD to be super sim at release...but compared to IL2 release...its more or less, a complete failure and loss of trust amongst hard earned fans...we can debate forever but the only truth is that me and all of my friends (squadmates) who bought this sim never played more than 1-2 hours...some of them arent playing at all anymore...enough said

Just how many times do the woes of previous flight sims have to be brought up.

The original il2 had it's fair share of problems at launch as did rise of flight which I struggled to get working for a few months, yes clearly something went sour at Ubi or MG or 1C perhaps with all of them. At the end of the day we will one day be laughing at this unflattering start of what I am sure will one day be hailed as a huge success.

After this amount of time since release I have serious doubts about this being the case.

Even if they fix all the bugs and performance issues, ugly external sounds, ugly neon landscape etc etc...this title with its limited theater is doomed to limited success

This genre was always going to suffer limited success for crying out loud people how can you not see this, more people would rather play a quick "fun" fps than sit down and learn how to fly. That's why the console industry is booming people buy the same game month after month but just with a different title.

If you want this game to succeed then grin and bear the current set back.

EDIT: if I appear bad tempered and snappy sorry, i am suffering from a hangover and therefore I am feeling rather grumpy.

With particular attention to the last sentence this is very true. many of us are sitting back patiently waiting.

Personally im trying to discuss modding constructivly which allows others to take part in the discussions. it keeps me away from various annoyances that pop up. im a mature man. 37 years old, i cant afford to go about my life bitching about this that and the next. For many of you it really is time to shut up a bit already ! the reason is that there isnt anything more you can complain about that we dont already know. so this is my heartfelt plea. Please dont destroy my dream or oleg,s or anyones thats patiently awaiting further development with a positive attitude.

There are 2 types of people in CoD forums at the moment. Them with it and able to utilize it in its present state. And the nay sayers who post things to illicit a reaction. At the end of the day no one is turning the ship around and changing course. This is the newest and greatest ww2 flight sim aiming for a larger group of flight simers. Nothing is changing this. That ship has already sailed. You will go insane trying to defend it when there is no need to. Once it is released the flood gates will open. Just sit back and relax. And if you are one of the fortunate ones to own it now keep playing with it. That drives them even more batty then the post drive you.

We "fanboys", as i've been called sometimes, at least have the hope of a brighter future for CloD,
the nay-sayers are just jealous because they have lost anyway:
either CloD has the bright future the most of us are hoping for -> they were wrong
or CloD goes down in flames -> they have lost the only non-obsolete WWII-Flight-sim that can reasonably be expected in the years to come.

This is the newest crap piece of software, unoptimized, barely playable on my rig which is i7920 OC 3.6Ghz, GTX470 OC 750Mhz, 6GB of RAM...with all my HW and SW knowledge and beta testing experince with some other sims Im still unable to play this sim (with all the tweaks) with decent performance and I dont want to turn off buildings and trees and to dergade already ugly neon landscape with low settings...I dont mind waiting for fixes but this is heavily porked and unusable (and will be for a long time) and thats what counts...If they aim at large group of simmers who are asking for realistic sim with more content, features and OPTIMISED software - they FAILED....
apart from teh very poor optimisatio nof this software - the bigest joke are sounds which are more or less stock il2 sounds...how many years if development to deliver a game with stock il2 sounds...15 yrs old...Luthier said they will look into sounds but that we cant expect anything for months........that a big goodbye, we have enough fun with ROF 1946 and IL2 HSFX/UP.
The only bright spot of CLOD is FM. But thats not enough for success.

This isnt an fps, this is not a mainstream genre therefore we can't just wait a few months for the next game to come along.

There is nowhere else for us to turn if we want a highly detailed historic ww2 flight simulator therefore the normal rules do not apply. There is only one hand feeding our habit and therefore while we moan and complain we know that this is the best we will ever get and will have to put some faith in MG. The ww2 setting is a dying game scenario so this is it people, (unless 777 venture into the ww2 era and they still have a lot to do in ww1) therefore we gave to swallow the pill and show some support for the only developer that gives a damn about our addiction
