Cliffs of Dover works, its just a new combat flight sim, they all will have bugs and no hardware that max them at first.

You call Battle of Moscow an addon as if a few guys spent a couple months on it and its gonna be $10 or somthing. Its not a gun pack for deadspace2 or somthing lol

Hey - what happened to my post respectfully asking that customers be given some kind of update this friday?

Are we not allowed to post anything here any more other than attacks on people who question what's going on?

Websites based in North Korea are less censorious.

The all sims have bugs excuse is lame. It runs but it does not work very well. It has no AA or AF, AI is porked, SLI is porked etc. etc. It could be great but it is not even close nine months after release.

Yes all sims have bugs, its just that CoD has WAY more than most and is not even finished (complete redo of graphics in the works).

Perhaps BoM is not an add-on, but it does not interest me as much as BoB and I certainly will not buy it if CoD is not fixed. As many others won't if CoD is not finished first. I hope they do get it finished.

I to have trouble running CLOD, but it does not stop me marveling at the genius behind the game, the box art alone is worth the money.

Ihave noticed that posts are changed,dropped or deleted willynilly on this forum.
Post seem to be altered to reflect a different opinion by deletion of one or two sentences to give more "posotitive"feel.
Out of interest,who does this and why?

Don't know. I usually edit posts when they contain swearing, which is of course against the rules.You will usually just see **** instead of the swear word. Personal attacks on other members are just deleted. Attacks on the devs are also deleted. Trolling posts are usually just deleted. Quite often posts are moved to a more relevant sub forum. Sometimes (quite often unfortunately) you will have a few individuals who just want to have a row in a thread, and a load of their posts will get deleted, which can sometimes make a thread look a little strange. Blame them for breaking the rules (when they finish their bans) not the mod team for having to clear up their mess.
Sometimes people are warned, sometimes banned, sometimes a post is deleted and no action is taken, but the forum is a nicer place to visit.
I would never edit a post to give a more 'positive feel' as you put it, and I don't think I have ever seen that on this forum.
Apart from that, be sure to read the rules again if you have not already as discussing moderator actions is prohibited. There is an email contact on the rules page to contact admin.

bear in mind these whingers don't want to take their views to PM or private email, it 'has' to be emblazoned very publically on the boards so they can get their little fix of 'sticking it to the man'

Thank you Uther.
Don't know what bongodriver is whingeing on about though.

Luthier has said they'll continue working on CoD so what's the problem? He has stated very clearly that they're working on CoD and BoM in parallel. I for one am very happy that they're working on the graphics....any increase in FPS is good in my book and I'm quite prepared to wait for that and many other goodies.

1c, like any other company, must pay wages and bills. They MUST develop new products to generate future earnings as they'll be out of business in no time. We really can't expect them to remain completely fixated on CoD as that would be business suicide which wouldn't be good for us or them would it?

I personally don't see any problem at all with paying full price for the BoM product if that means I immediately get access to a host of new and exciting objects, features and improvements for CoD at the same time. It could be like a new game. Most features that have been postponed for BoM were never officially promised for CoD - they were just hopeful noises made by Oleg and crew at various points in the development. As such, we really can't complain that they won't be handed out free as a CoD patch.

On the other hand, radio comms, AI and crashes do need to be addressed as patches and from what I've read from the devs, this is all in hand. All will come good in time. Be sure.
