Friday Update, Q&A - December 23, 2011

[Insuber]

If I understand correctly, the CoD patch is less likely to be issued. The current trend is to patch CoD via the sequel.

Anyway thank you B6 and Luthier! And Merry XMas and a Happy New Year!

Didn't we already do this discussion and get told that it would be patched?

Yes, as far as I understand it. There hasn't been any news saying otherwise, the patch is still in development for CloD.

Isn't that clear enough:


19. Are you planning to transfer the new graphic effects (eg, weather) from future sequels into Cliffs of Dover?

We’ll work along the model similar to the old Il-2. There’s a single progression line from version to version dotted by sequels.
For example, we never released a patch for Forgotten Battles that contained new code from Pacific Fighters. The way to get it was to buy PF and merge it into FB. That’s exactly how it will be with CoD.

awful update...

it appears most things missing have been moved to the "sequel", no COOP mode, no news about a patch....

pretty much bad news all over.

sad

Have to agree..

Though at least were being updated now

Yeah, it makes me wonder why the Anson and Walrus were included from the outset.

Because these were support aircraft and for the most part combat flight simmers want to drop bombs and shoot stuff, IMO a waste of resources to include them.

[RCAF_FB_Orville]

Underwhelming.

Probably best not to say what I (and no doubt many others) am really thinking, might get in trouble.

Interesting to see how the complaints of a few persistent whingers are handled though. I thought the head shaking was a good feature but just a little bit overdone. Why not provide a user option? Possibly even scaleable? That way everybody's happy. I better shut up though, I'm probably talking too much sense.

So people who could care less about the Battle for Moscow have to pay yet more in order to see features that were misleadingly continually mooted as being in development for CoD, pre release (though cleverly not 'technically' promised I suppose for the pedagogue Sophist's around) . No matter what anybody says, that is the truth. Kept that one quiet pre-CoD release, eh? Fantastic. No more ships or planes either for CoD (AKA 'Slight skirmish over Peckham'). Happy times. I might even be daft enough to buy the sequel.....but you can guarantee others won't. In any event, certainly won't be pre ordering this time. Fool me once.......

Shocking, really.

Ah well, never mind.


Merry Christmas to all, and all the best.

That does not exclude a patch for Cliffs.

Old news, I'm afraid. Things change in business ...
