locked treads on IL-2 Sturmovik Forum

[JG52Uther]

Their forum their rules. Looks like they want to distance themselves from both CoD AND RoF, so the RoF fans might not want to get too cozy, as that sim could very well be the next one for the chop.
Can't see how they can keep both going, and WW2 is where the money tree is.

Surely a little more decorum wouldn't be too much to ask for once?

There you go. Fixed it. lol

perhaps, you could lead by example and conduct yourself in the same decorum you ask of others?


now its fixed

Simple fact is..... The BOS forum is for discussing what features people would like to see, updates, general chat etc.. not for the whole CloD vs ROF idiocy. Sadly it all kicked off again and, therefore, the thread was locked. Seems totally fair to me.

I love CloD and I'm as sad about its demise as anyone is but I really don't think it is fair to pollute the BOS forum with that kind of childish crap.

BOS is not CloD and it is not ROF! It is BOS.

So far I haven't seen any problems on there with regards to referring to features in CloD, mentioning how one would like to see those features implemented in BOS... What I have seen, though, is moderators clamping down on stupid antics and "My sim is better than your sim!" bs.

There is no conspiracy. Us CloD pilots aren't being picked on and, as far as I can tell, nothing is happening other than a bunch of people trying to create a WW2 flight sim with a future for us. Yep. US.

Surely a little more decorum wouldn't be too much to ask for?

A healthy dose of reality. Well said.

It has been stated on both forums that C.o.D. is finished, so I think we should just let it go as far as any further fixes or development is concerned.
As far as c.e.m goes it is already stated at the new forum if you read what is going to happen with the development of B.o.S. there will be no clickable cockpits, the development will follow more in the line of the old Il2 series. For those that yet haven't, read this: -

http://forum.il2sturmovik.net/index.php?showtopic=168

It is unfortunate that a lot of us refuse to let C.o.D. die at its current level, maybe 1c will finally let the community develop it further but at the moment I can't see that happening.

Cliffs of Dover will live on for a lot of us because we have managed to tune our systems and the sim to get the best performance we can. The only thing that disappoints me is the lack of SLi/Crossfire support that was originally promised and has never officially been done regardless of what BS and Luthier have said, never mind, with the coding that Luthier posted I have at least got it working.

All said,

Merry Christmas to all and a better New Year

FWIW posts over on IL2 were locked for all the reasons posted above but also because at the time there was no place to discuss those subjects. Now there is.. So some of those threads have been cleaned up and reopened. I could never understand why grown normally sane and congenial men seem to devolve into .. total jerks when it comes to things like this.. It can be worse than trying to talk politics sometimes.. and that's on either side of just about any fence when it comes to simming it seems.. anyway.. just a 411..

Lets see...Burn my house down? yep. Know where I live and going to kill my family? yep. Report me as a peadophile? yep. Ruin my career? yep. Kick someones pregnant wife in the belly? yep.That was a good one, from someone who had just received a 10 point infraction...
Thats some over the years.

You actually got threats like that?!! That is sick.. That someone would take something on the internet that seriously..

IMHO much better to prune topics that are overall genuine discussions than locking away the whole thread. I never liked group punishment exercises for individual's transgressions, not at school, not at the military, and not at a forum I visit in my spare time for information and entertainment.
