Even I am going negative now.

Missing sound was not a problem initially but was introduced by a patch.

One more reason to give the devs some time to come up with working solutions instead of relaeasing one rushed patch after another to please an (argueable rightfully) impatient community.

The Sim has already seen great improvement since it's release and given IL2s Legacy, i have few doubts we will see further improvements. Despite it's shortcomings CoD already is a couple leagues above IL2 when it comes to pure flying immersion. This means the core, the very essence of this game, is right and I find myself sucked back into flying despite all the Sims shortcomings. The original IL2 is no alternative anymore with a percieved stone age FM.

Personal venting over problems that have been complained about ad infinitum does nothing to help here and just drags down others, too, for no gain whatsoever. (though it should be mentioned that ppl only complain when they are emotionally attached, which in return actually speaks for this Sim)

The size of the team dictates that the game won't be what it was supposed to be for quite a while. I don't really think it's realistic to expect the 'full' version anytime soon.

I understand the frustrations many are feeling. I play offline, but there are several issues with the game in offline mode that for me I can't accept until those issues are fixed. So I wait.
I've shelved it for now, but in time I will certainly be back to playing the sim again. Valid criticism is fine, and the OP's criticism is definitely valid, but the game is still not going to be fixed any more quickly.

At least Luthier and co. have stuck around and have been plugging away at updates from day one since release. What's happened has happened and we can play the blame game all day long, but as long as the devs are still supporting this sim, I will support them and the game.
After all, we're so spoilt for choice in this genre, yes?

Let's not bash each other over the heads, guys. We all want the same thing in the end.
