Many if not most of the original development team are still working on the development and the development has basically the same business model of supporting this sim and adding new content for years.

Yes many of the features are delayed due to technical and other difficulties, but haven't been dropped.

It is what it is, but you have the choice of either throwing the development under the bus, and losing your investment, or support them with a good possibility of many years of top combat flight sim enjoyment.

It appears that the development has so far weathered the huge challenge of releasing an unfinished product, hopefully the sales are strong enough to get them through the finishing of this first installment and the release of their next theater. If they make it that far then the development will be secure.

Hoping the sim will survive and trashing it every chance you get is totally counter productive. I'm not talking about constructive criticism here.

I understand what you're saying Chivas Regal and we're both after the same thing. However, I'm a Darwinist on this one so if the resources and/or competence ain't enough to make a viable product within reasonable time then let it die.
I'll continue bitching about the missing AI Comms cause that's one example of things that should have been in the 31 march release.

Now, anyone seen a Community manager lately?

So if Vengeanze is not happy.. it should die for everyone?

I think not

Now if your really that un-happy.. Be adult about it and 'let it die' for you!

It's easy!

There is this option that allows you to un-install the game! I highly recomend that you make use of it!

this was advertised by steam as a feature, not sure if we got it tbh, and didnt they change it in the recent beta patches, and perhaps i read something about the whole 3d engine being changed??

Look at something called the FMB and check the game out... Its pretty damn good, certainly a step beyond rof.

I'd disagree. While the recent changes to the colours/lighting have indeed improved the visuals in CloD I still think RoF looks a lot better. One of my biggest problems is that South England in CloD simply doesn't look like South England while RoF's terrain does IMO an excellent job of recreating the looks of 1914-18 north-west France.

IMHO the composition of textures, lighting and 3d objects provides a much more pleasant result than CloD. Oh, and RoF has working FSAA...

Of course, your mileage may vary.

C'mon guys, lets not start bashing other games.. I have Rof, IL2 1946, CoD, FSX and others, and they are all great in their own way..

Nice pic.

You will see, once we have FSAA the lighting and weather sorted then we can compare pics until then compare pics with no weather.

theres nothing ground breaking in there, game breaking maybe, cos its got some pretty models of hangars and kubel wagons, is that a ground breaking 3d engine.
