Thanks for the asst

I really wish Tree was here...

Am I missing something? Why are people saying that there is no German campaign?

"Exciting Single-Player Campaign – The campaign thrusts the player into the middle of the battle. The player will join the British Air Force to fight the German forces and renegade pilots on his own side, or join the German Luftwaffe and take part in meticulously recreated historical battles."

[Richie]

There is one.

Sorry about the confusion!

Ahh, just read that myself...but I still don't understand why people missed it..it's stated clearly.

People missed it because it wasn't in the original post.Notice the post has been editted.

Today's news are good news, but, respectfully, few news.

News:
a.1) Released date March 2011
a.2) Publisher: Ubi (and a embryo of webpage)
a.3) Collector's Edition with a historical Spitfire Manual/Document
a.4) Renegade pilots flying for the Luftwaffe (Awesome ! )

Nothing more.


Already known (just following Oleg's good old Friday updates):

b.1) Planeset (not fully explained in release news)
b.2) Map printed in a cloth : this was already leaked/announced by Luthier weeks ago even asking to the community for historical background
b.3) Part of the footage already shown in Igromir show (to the fortunate spectators) or to the Internet in Youtube, via Iphones, etc.
b.4) DM and FM much more accurate
b.5) Better AI
b.6) Much more accurate environment (wheater etc)
b.7) Higly detailed ground objects
b.8 ) Scenario (obvious)
b.9) Graphic Software (DX11)
b10) Name (for somebody )
b11) RAF and Luftwaffe (and italian CAI) careers (Thanks, Luthier, for the correction)


Unknown yet (some very important)

c.1) Specs
c.2) DRM or antipiracy software
c.3) Cover
c.4) Price
c.5) Sale of Normal Edition (Steam? , direct download like ROF?
c.6) Activation mode (Internet connection full time even off-line? only 1 activation when purchased?
c.7) Worldwide release or different dates for countries
c.8 ) Forum?
c.9) Full Webpage
c10) Merchadising (Wall Papers, posters)

...and probably many other.

And finally, the quality of the video is, in my humble opinion, poor to show the great new capabilities of this Sim. Taken from old footage from low-end computer, short, and not transmitting the potential of this Sim. Just it looked like another Air Simulator more.

IMHO, this new Sim deserved a better Marketing campaign, better video, a better webpage, a Forum started, and a much more intense media speech to explain to newcomers what it really will be, and to spread illusion between us ,the old foxes that are expecting this great Sim for years.

Sorry, it is my feeling, ilusion and disappointment a the same time. It seems like if , suddenly, they were in a hurry. Why? Leaks?

I repeat, respectfully to all, specially to 1C Management and Dev Team.

PD: Of course, no doubt I'll purchase the Collector's Edition...

You'd be better sending a donation to the development team. But there will be a DRM, and you should be able to understand why (although hopefully not one that requires a connection every day, or that installs dodgy software on your PC).

Come on Major, get with it - it wasn't clearly stated - it wasn't stated at all, until after everyone spotted the mistake.
