[BadAim]

I didn't waste my time reading past page 4. Same old crap. I'm not sure which is worse; the sniveling or the sniveling about the sniveling.

How many of you guys come here every day or nearly so? Can you guys not read between the lines?

Let me spell it out for you, because Luthier won't say this about his old friend. Oleg failed. He was not able to get Clod to a salable condition in time to save it (in the real world there are deadlines), so they had to sell it like it was. Luthier is the guy who is going rescue IL2 for the future, and I for one believe that he can. (and don't ask me to quantify that, I just have the feeling) So why don't we bitch a little less and support a little more? Shooting the messenger does not change the bloody message!

That said, thank you for doing a thankless and nearly impossible job Black Six. Have a nice big glass of vodka and know that the majority appreciate you. (same for Luthier and team)

The "debate" should have ended 300 posts ago. Unsubscribing from this waste of time...

[Insuber]

Luthier's explanations sounds credible, but they only explain a part of the issue. What he says about the amazing amount of time to accomplish the same things, or slightly improved ones, is indeed true, and we see it in everyday's life and work. And in video games imo the complexity increases exponentially with resolution, not in a linear way.
But (there is always a "but" ), in this equation Complexity is only one factor, the others being Good Management, Careful Resource Planning, Quality Control ... and as we use to say, a good explanation (excuse) doesn't replace a timely delivery, with the expected quality.

Anyway - no alternatives - I encourage the team and Luthier to work hard and finish strongly, a strong finish will make all of us forget the miserable start.

Cheers,
Ins

Thanks for update.

ALthough CLOD is not perfect and we all know it , i hope it will be fixed in future just like ROF and ARMA 2 and all other sophisticated games software with huge abilities was.

I believe that all missing features like dynamic weather and ground traffic will be added to CLOD with upcoming updates and one day we will have a WW2 No. 1 sim for another 10 years just like original IL2 was.

Now i have a lot of other sims to play (A-10, ROF, SH5, Arma 2) until CLOD is fixed.

Good luck to whole team and make the sim that you and Oleg always wanted to make. You´ll get my money despite the fiasco with CLOD release. I know this genre is dying so i hope you´ll continue to support us with the best WW2 sim.

We are all ww2 pilot wannabees. But we can't be it's 2012. WE can't travel in time and don't have holodecks. We have pc sims. In a world where profi sims have been abandoned 1C is carrying the flag. If we want graphics that will take you over London or the Russian stepp, if we want the most realsitic damage model, the most realistic flight model.....it does take time. The updates and patches for this game arrived with lightning speed.

This game isn't about the profit it's about the passion of the pilots. This isn't some battlefield which is a huge success this is a masterpiece for us few who play these games, so don't make it a question of the 40 or something bucks you spent. I rather have 20 missions or one perfect mission which will surpass all others than a mediocre 500 mission campaign with 50 planes.....dude you can't flay 50 planes.

So just a big thank you to 1C for keeping the dream allive. And there are those out there in the community who appretiate what you all do.
Spasiba!!!

Love the Polikarpov, can't wait to see that thing in flames
