Mardescrap - probably one of the better posts ive read on this forum and you echo allot of my observations , to me its no longer about if and when will it get fixed but a fascination for how and why it all went horribly wrong .

That is exactly my opinion. I preordered the collectors edition and was amazed about the quality of the box and the extras. But after looking more deeply to it I noticed missing pages, wrong information in the manual as well as some mistakes on the map.
It is the same with the game. There are many good looking things, there are amazing features but then you see it is not finished yet. I was aware that I wouldnt get a finished game when I preordered but I expected a flyable simulation. Till now many things have been improved and I enjoy flying around but fighting offline is still a mess.
I decided not to get upset about it but to leave it in the shelf till it is fixed in a way I can enjoy it. And I still think that CloD will get there. Until then I stay with the civilian aviation and enjoy the A2A Spitfire in FSX.
