Friday Update, February 24, 2012

While you're new improvements are real cool, you attempt to divert attention away from the important flight sim aspects is laugh-able. Christ, IL2 46 is a better FLIGHT SIM than the current state of this one. Make up you're friggin mind which direction this sim is moving and be done with it. And this BS about a BETA patch is exactly that. What better analysis can you get than from the people who love you're flight sim.

Personally I'd rather that they focused their resources on the flying part. Perhaps make it more accessible to new player, with an actually intuitive MP interface and more 'fun' online game modes as options.

What will the inclusion of ground vehicle control in Il2 bring to the 'ADHD market', that BF3 and Arma doesn't already do 10 times better?

BF3 and ARMA main focus is on FPS..

ARMA IMHO is the most realistic FPS todate..

But with that said BF3 and ARMA both suck at flight sims, wrt realism..

It is just in there to give those who get borred playig FPS all the time something else to do.. And something for otehrs to shoot at!

The idea here is 1C is doing the same..

Only difference is 1C's main focus is on FLIGHT..

At least I hope that is the case! No one here knows for sure and anyone other than BS who claims to know is just blowing smoke

I was just expecting a graphics engine improvement and was impressed at first when seeing the video.Now i am concerned because instead CLoD just went a total different direction here.Its fantastic that the game engine can handle all this with supposedly better frame rates but IMO the majority here would just like to get the game 100% before all these cool neat features are added.Is there any word on coops in this patch?

That is good news..

And if 1C takes that same aproach.. That would be great imho! Get your foot in the door with tanks by offering up something that is not as detailed/realistic as it could be.. Make money.. Than if your in the black you can go back and add some polish to those items which in turn should bring in more people

All in all this aproach is about the only way I see a flight sims staying in business from this point forward.. Becuase as much as we flight simmers may hate to admit it.. Flight sims dont have a big ROI!!
