Since CloD is over

Bongo....yeah, what a great fan you turned out to be. What a great voice for the game, what a helpful soul, what a moderate, balanced voice. What nice, grateful view of 'your own' developers.

With 'friends' like you, they didn't need enemies.

Says it all.

Goodbye, Bonkers. See you soon.

Hehe Bongo you and Falstaff are like a married couple. Kiss and make up?

CLOD and "whiners" are a bit like the chicken and egg i.e. which came first? I reckon CLOD but it was a turkey. Sadly they couldn't do all the necessary fixes in time to release a sequel in order to get more working capital. Having to make so many fixes to a deeply flawed piece of software is what killed CLOD.

It's a real shame but there you go. The future is now brighter and I the meantime I'll have fun with CLOD as it is now.

Falstaff is always welcome to make an appology to me and I would always consider accepting it..

I think you will find the whiners came before CoD, Tree made quite a stink for many a year before release and built himself a little cult following.....probably consisting of a large proportion of his own aliases.
if flawed software guaranteed failure then I don't think there would be any in existence, CoD was buggy, if I had a dollar for every buggy game I ever bought I'd have several hundred dollars, no the game didn't make money because enough people whined about it and it became undesireable, now we are going to wait a year for something inferior but works out of the box like a console game which I think is a backup plan.

Yes, and now you can see that the same people are trying to crash any memory of CloD. Even be it any good saying about any CloD feature that worked pretty well (uhm, ze cockpits? ). Again , this is counterproductive and they already started this over at the new forum.
Declaring the title 'dead' or 'over' serves their agendas. The fact is that the further development of CloD is over, but the game can still be played online and offline. It just won`t expand anymore.

The problem is, that actual version of CloD is very cut-down version of what this project would be capable of (comparison of basic Il-2 and Il-2 1946 4.12 comes to my mind)
