Great, they sure do conduct business, you have to pay for everything, sooner or later it's gonna be fuel and bullets.

Well, at least they are putting new content out there. Also, flightsims are even "nichier" than ever before, it's almost a miracle that games like CloD and RoF are still being released. Times are different, majority of PC gamers aren't playing flightsims anymore, it's not the 80's and 90's when the industry was spitting out tons of flightsims all the time. Making games is more costly and resource hungry than ever, I wouldn't even get mad if the RoF team charged for a cigar DLC because I understand that it's not financially viable to release ONE flightsim and expect to make enough money on DVD/digital sales alone to finance the next one, it's not possible.

If you do have some interest in the game industry, since CloD is in fact a game, then you would've noticed the reports from this years E3 was a lot about free to play games. Free to play games dominated this years E3 showfloor. This is the future of games, like it or not. If everybody is charging 40-60€ for a new game and there are a ton of interesting games every month on many different platforms then the competition is ferocious and almost impossible. This is the reason for free to play. Sorry if this became a bit of a long text but as I stated at the beginning, paying for stuff is something you and many others will have to get used to, unless you are willing to pay like 699€/$ for a complete flightsim.

Though not perfect , it's working great for me . I mostly fly offline for now and the new patch is working great! No crashes (must be my GTX570) and the FPS is up slightly . I notice the weathering slider is now working and The AI is improved .I love the way they simulated the sputtering , black smoke and flames out the exhausts.The panel lines and weathering are stunning , especially some of the custom skins . For 49 bucks what's to snivel about? Some of you guys need to get some cheese to go with your Whine . By the way the word is WHINING not whingeing as some people like to spell it .And some of you are doing a terrific job of it . I have tons of games that were a dissapointment after I paid $$ for them . When you try to return them the Gaming outlet offers you 2 $ for them . This is not one of those games. This Sim is awesome in my book and like a fine WINE it will only improve with time.

Strange thing is nor do I, and COD works for me and is making progress with each patch, and I'm sorry for you to say that it works for other people too, are you just simply better than the rest of us that any claims someone like me makes are of no importance? because your toy is broken do you just want everyone else to go without too?

So Bongo if it works so well for you why are you wasting time on this forum go play and leave us to say what were intitled to say. God anybody would think this is your full time job.

Major bug for me is I get the Launcher.exe crash on exiting the game.

IMHO this patch is making steps in the right direction.

I suppose it depends on what you mean by working. In one post you say it's working for you and in the other you mention bugs that some people would say was not a working game. I would say any game with a Launcher exe crash was not a working game because at times it is not working when it should.

If your getting a bug exiting a game I would say that while its annoying would it really hinder you playing the game!

It may not hinder you but nobody can describe this as a working game, if they do describe it as a working game then they should also agree it's not a working game when it crashes. There are two sides to the argument here and no one side is right, it depends how you look at it.
