Well,

this is a worry. I applaud the ability to make CLoD more appealing to more people who want to use vehicles and flak positions in such a way.
However,
The success of the original IL2 series was built on multiplayer Squadrons and on-line play using coops. The developers MUST fix/improve the multiplayer aspect of CLoD so that the VERY MANY SQUADRONS out there can invest their money and time into the product that should be the "next" IL2.

I am a member of a Squadron of 40+ players that all fly the original IL2, we want to purchase CLoD and use it BUT WE CANT BECAUSE MULTIPLAYER IS UNUSABLE!! Please work out how much money IC is losing in just this circumstance!

And yet we are presented with new features so we are able to drive vehicles, brilliant, but we still cant fly in the flight simulator that we want to.

Your best stream of revenue must surely come from on-line Squadrons ? Shouldnt this take priority instead of vehicles I can drive around in whilst what I really want to do is fly a coop with 20+ Squadron members over the channel in the Battle of Britain ?

Sorry to sound full of despair......... but I am

I agree with Bunny. My squadron, JS 109, is a group of Euro-American pilots who fly in Wings of Prey and looked forward to flying CloD when it was announced. We all bought the sim and have been disappointed ever since. No matter what spec of PC we have, we all had Launcher exe problems. As it now stands, most of the pilots have gone back to WoP and monitor the progress of CloD on both the multiplayer issues and "duff" flight models. Don't get me wrong, when the sim is working, it's brilliant, but the problems kill it dead as a serious flight combat sim. Thanks for the info Black Six, believe me, I'm not trying to "shoot the messenger!!!

King regards

@No145_Bunny....Dude, we fly every nite on the ATAG server and its very "useable" why dont you and a mate or two join us on ATAG ts3 and we can see if we can help you enjoy the parts that the sim excels at.

you forgot to tell them they should avoid looking at dust or fire...and if possible to fly in pairs low over cities....to avoid massive SLOWDOWNS

but a little speedup they can gain if they have SLI GTX 590 systems with quad CPUs running at 5GHZ...

Your making the assumption that because someone in the development is working on drivable vehicles, everyone else stops work to watch him. As a matter of fact the development is putting the final touches to the new graphics engine that will allow most people to play online, with much better frame rates, that also address the CTD's and memory leak. All is not lost, 95% of the development team is still working on combat flight sim related features.

Chivas, i think thats about 3 months worth of speculation bans right there!

1. It's not unusable. Our crew are regularly getting into scraps on our server and we have formations of 30+ enemy regularly.
2. How many have actually tried? I mean, with respect, I don't remember ever seeing any TP online, and since you are admitting that 40+ of your guys haven't bought it yet anyway then you can't have tried it.
3. Look at the bigger picture. Without expansion you won't have a sim, it needs funding and this market is too niche. It isn't 2003 anymore.

My regards to Hatter.
