Especially given all the negative publicity of the Eastern release would obviously create. I know you give the developers very little credit for any intelligence, or integrity, but it must show most people the developers are commitment to the future of the sim.

Yes COD was released before it was finished and most people understand there is alot of work to be done before its finished. Yes let new people know that COD is incomplete, but also let people know that the developers have a history of supporting their product. I don't see the necessity to spam the forums with negativity, although I suppose there would be the opportunity to say I told you so to an empty forum.

Chivas, Im not disagreeing with you entirely on this, but I think it was appalling that the Dev's did not offer some explanation as to the state of CLOD upon release, letting it just slip out knowing the condition it was in in my opinion as done nothing for their reputation. Yes, there may have been pressure from UBI but we can never be sure, but UBI don't control these forums, a simple statement of fact or a heartfelt appeal to us from Luthier would have made a very big difference to how most feel about this product and where it's going.

I imagine UBI would've sued them to hell and back for breach of contract/industrial sabotage (or something). And with every justification. You can't have UBI trying to promote and distribute a game whilst the developers are simultaneously warning people the game's a right mess.

Not an ideal position to be in for Luthier et al on release day but there was little anyone could do other than have UBI shift the release date further back. And seeing the state of CoD on release it appears time had finally run out.

I waited 3 months to be allowed here again - yes, I've got ban for 3 months... Why? Just search for my posts...

Anyway, I waited long for this, so read fanboys carefully:


I hope you enjoy this brilliant sim...

What? literally waiting for 3 months by your computer? rocking back and forth?

hello bongodriver, did you miss me? but let's have some talk before I got banned again...

how much CLOD improved over last three months? I am just curious - is it better, so I should buy it now?

It's better but still buggy, sound issues are now my main problem. Crossfire is still not working properly but I still get around 40-50 fps online.

Is it worth a purchase... Definately but you have to be aware that while playable it's only slowly making it way to the great game we all want, I'm confident that it will get there. So yes buy it if you have a good pc and have patience.

That's with all settings on high bar building detail. Just don't expect to fly over London with those settings.

If you mainly fly online (like myself) then I would wait, (sound problems and server issues)Single player works(ish) and you can get familiarised with your aircraft, I know i appear to be negative but this game does have massive potential its just a case of how long it takes to get there.

I would give it a try, but I see that price is still the same, and I have a real trouble to accept it...
I know there are some alternatives to buy it for less... but...

I was going to ask the same.....admit it you really couldn't wait to speak with me again

but on a more 'grown up' note, like the above posters, the game is making progress and the forum hasn't changed.

I find it surprising cost is an issue, I'm not exactly rich but I will buy every flight sim I can because it's a hobby, most people will spend money on their hobby.

It's worth it for offline play now as long as you are comfortable using the FMB (which isn't that hard). Should wait a couple of months for online until sound fixed though.
