lol, if he deletes or shuts down too many people, he'll only shoot himself in the foot customer wise... he knew what he was buying into.

hmmm... you might be on to something there

Somewhere ( maybe in this thread ) I read that CloD could slowly die as we wait the year or so for Studio777's developement of BoS. I wonder...what i mean to say that Clod even with its admitted problems is possitively a joy to fly ( after you get it to work I mean.) I have a way modded up Il-2 DBW install that is still fun & looks good & works well,but I still have to thinkwhich one of these sims & campaigns do I really want ot enjoy this time?
Thanks to 3rd party modders like Desastersoft & others I have more than enough missions to keep me busy for a year over this beautiful map and from time to time other campaigns & skins will come around to make things interesting.Perhaps there is even a slight chance someone will crack the code & more improvements will come around.Far fetched but it did with Il-2 ,& we all profitted from it,didn't we?
I think this Official forum will get a lot quieter ( & I don't know how BoS site will do in the waiting for a year stage..what will they write about while waiting for new screenshots & vids???) It took quite a shot after all the really upset people left in the beginning & has probably had others dropping away ( or being banned,) in the last 6 months or so,and that probaly means that the people who have a working version & who are dedicated to the BoB itself will continue to see what's going on here. ( I remember 2 years ago there was quite a bit od speculation on whether the upcoming CloD or whatever it was called then,would eviserate Il-2 & its various sites.Well we all know it hasn't ( for a variety of reasons,I know...perhaps if it had been perfect...sigh...) & SAS and AAS are still trucking ( I just downloaded a cowling/prop mod this morning!)
So I figure we will do the same here too...after all it could be so much worse:

( I really did enjoy this with my 10 year old son- I amsemi ashamed to admit...)

I don't think the core code for IL2 was cracked was it? as far as I can tell only TD who actually have access to the source code can actually write patches, and that sadly is what CoD will need rather than just content.

Get your facts straight Klem.. That is not the RoF forum. This is the RoF forum: Rise of Flight . The forum you linked is the IL2 Battle of Stalingrad forum.

Wrong. Translation.. see above and below.

But they were honest, no super graphic no CEM, no cockpits , no ground war,
no online wars ...

On your first point.. no only people who keep rehashing the same BS that has been going on here and other paces for far too long. On your second points ... you do not know that.. there is no way you can the devs are still working all that out. I don't really see how any comparisons can be made yet.. do you not see how silly that statement sounds? The BoS forum has nothing to do with CoD that is why questions, complaints,wishlists statements of mourning etc concerning Cliffs Over Dover are not welcome there.. there is no one there who can answer them .. hell the people here couldn't answer them to your satisfaction .. and this is the publisher's forum for crying out loud.

I'm sorry bearcat but you had the finger hovering over the ban button for someone simply asking about the capability of the Nature engine, no poison or anything sinister, that sounds pretty close to Bliss's description.

You sure it was me? I haven't banned anyone yet.. locked a few threads.. but no bans and to tell the truth I'd rather not but you saw the level of vitriol over there that broke down into the whose balls are bigger debate which is not what the forum is there for. If you cannot discuss things in a civil manner then you won't be there.. (not YOU but a general you) I really don't care what "side" you are on. Often things that start out relatively civil can denigrate into a slugfest PDQ and as a moderator I have to take the route that works best for me. The bottom line is that if posters acted like mature adults instead of petulant children in most cases on most forums across the internet things wold run a lot smoother. For some reason sim pilots are a more angst ridden lot even though they generally tend to be older. The rules and guidelines for conduct are listed. If you stay within them there will be no problems.

I didn't say you 'did' ban anyone, you just made it very clear that anything about the Nature engine is not to be questioned or discussed in any manner that is less than an endorsement, good luck stopping the vitriol but I'm affraid you are going to have people asking straight forward questions who will be antagonised by the same people that made this place a hell hole, namely the people that go bat shit crazy if you dare suggest anything might be a bit beter than ROF in some way.

My opinion is that we quickly need a few more mods down there to keep Bearcat at bay. Right now he`s triggerhappy.
