Thanks, somebody, somewhere.

I'm not sure who i should be thanking, or why I should thank them, but since this thread consists of no news, but lots of thanks, I feel I should join in the general spirit of thankyou-ness. So thanks, to everyone.

(and thankyou Ben)

No, don't mention it.

Thanks....

You really shouldn't have! I did nothing, really. But I appreciate your gratitude and will attempt to do better in future to really earn your thanks!

Now back to the Update, It has only been a week since the hot fix and people are already moaning that they're being left out and Sim is finished and the same old rubbish that has plaugued this sim Oleg mention "Storm of War"

Get a grip on reality peeps!

For the sake of discussion I'll pull a couple of figures out of the ether. Lets say it takes a person five minutes to open a crash dump file and have a quick squizie at it to see what category it belongs to. How many crash dumps have been sumbitted? If everyone who's said the sent one in wasnt lying there would be at least a thousand. Just that would take up ten and a half man/days (working with an eight hour day)! And thats without any sort of indepth analysis of the actual reason for the crash

People swore blue that all they wanted was a short update even if there was nothing to talk about! Well that's what we got yeaterday.

Thanks BlackSix and the development team. Keep up the good work and hope every thing is going good.

I'm just grateful that the devs who are working on improving the product rather than walking away with the cash are working on the product at all.

I've seen so many half baked products released because the publisher wants their return in investment now and not tomorrow, and the devs are dragged on to the next product with no say in the matter.

Thank you for the update, even if there is no news. I thank you for your efforts, even if there isn't another patch yet, and I thank you for supporting us even though I'm sure that here is pressure to move on to the next title.

Wish I could say thanks but my patience is done. Nothing new here, just the same old we are fixing it...and will get back to you in a while. This game is shelved until next year. All these years of development, and this. I don't know what system they were testing this thing on, but I don't think the game was even half finished when released. Truly a massive cluster.......and a waste of my money.
You all that are diehard and keep thinking the genie will come out of the bottle if they rub it long and hard enough..well...good luck with that!

Wrong. If it happens to fail ultimately I`ll move on and forget about it. Like any adult should do over a 50$ video game.

Carguy, I know I'm not a mod but you're probably going to receive an infraction for posting like that, try and post all your comments in one post, using the quote button at the top of the text box.

I would venture a guess that the profit margin was slim at best for COD. If they walk away now, it would probably translate into a sizeable loss. I don't think they can walk away yet, they need to release BOM to get some money back, so they have to fix COD first to get some level of trust back from the customers so they will purchase BOM.

Well the good news is game makers are use to dealing with child like views of the world

So chances are comments like yours are tossed to the bin without much thought..

My only concern is some of the moderate people here who might actually put some merit into such silly statements..

Because the flight sim market is a small one and the more moderates we loose to the silly side means less future sales which can hurt the flight sim maker, which in turn hurts flight sim users like me.

The simple truth that your sort forgets is that you would be hard pressed to find any game released that is bug free.. And your sort also wants to play both sides of the fence and say such silly things as '1C just put it out to take the money and run'.. Yet.. 1C is STILL here working on it.. How some fall for that sort of sillyness is beyond me, my guess is it goes back to the child like view of the world.

But I digress..

Now, for the moderates out there, to put this into perspective, take a look at RoF.. In that it went through a similar process.. Day one it had bugs that were fixed over time, but it took them well over a year to get it to the game it is today. Just keep that in mind the next time one of these whinny types trys to tell you that 1C took the $ and ran with it.. Even though 1C is still here working on it and put a patch out just a couple of weeks ago.
