The issue is that people harp on about it, whenever appropriate and especially when not. I, for example, am not particularly happy with the state of things but I have better things to do than spend my time throwing tantrums on message boards. Simply put I shelved the game for the time being and don't expect any "enjoyment" for the forseeable future. I have other hobbies I can waste my freetime on and I don't really understand where the need to throw a tantrum on what is essentially a 50€ piece of software.

Voicing an opinion is not throwing a tantrum.
And spending 2 minutes posting on a thread hardly means that someone has no hobbies or life outside of those 2 minutes. Interesting opinion.
I too shelved the game but the thing thats frustrating is that they have basically dropped it, without finishing it. Thats what has annoyed a lot of people.
Oh and dont forget that £40 may not be a lot to you but it is to others.

That wasn't specifically aimed at you, but when reading some of the "rather negative" () posts I do get the impression of little kids who didn't get their candy and are now constantly yammering "Where's my candy?". It's nothing personal and I can understand the disappointment, but I can't see the reason for degenerating into pre-puberty behavior when it comes to the state of CloD, the kind of news or the lack of it. Maybe it is a character thing ...

Dropped it? Nope. Not true.

Read it again. It says BASICALLY dropped it.
Once again, having an opinion is not trolling.
Just because you disagree with what i say that means i should be banned or have my posts deleted? Isnt that the whole meaning of a forum? To discuss things and express opinions?

[klem]

226 posts in 10 hours, most of it OT drivel.

How are we to find sensible questions and answers that are OT?

For god's sake lock the thread, BlackSix isn't likely to post anything more here that wouldn't be buried within two hours.

Hmm, I guess I missed it the first read through, but going back and looking again I think I do see where the project is dropped, it says it right here:

So our general status report is very simple. Everyone is working very hard doing the same thing they were doing a month or a year ago. Graphical programmers are working on graphics. Network programmers are combing through the network code. Plane modelers are building 3D models of aircraft. No one stopped. Nothing was abandoned. On the contrary, the team continues to grow.

Oh...wait...

according to Luthier ( a post in the past) they abondened the Battle of Britain scenario. No totaly new planes/cockpits, no ships for it.
I hope the RAF and RA planes wil get their FM and CEM corrections (the Lw planes are needed in thevBoM scenario ).
From Engine and GUI improvements both scenarios will get benefit - at least that is my understanding of 1C's development plan.

[csThor]

I agree with Franky. The basic engine work continues but the modelling work is concentrated on BoM. Unfortunately, if I may say so ... That means no Royal Navy warship, no further ships for the BoB scenario at all.

While I can't deny that CloD is a mess and gives me no joy, the whining is like from small children who cannot accept reality.

Trivializing memory leaks and how soon it should be fixed shows you have no clue. The factory analogy is just thick... there is no "chain of production" when you're writing software.

Rant over, let me say "well put, Luthier". I have no love for the current product but I believe you and your team are doing your best to make it right. This I-16 pictures bring back some great memories!
