And so it goes...the joyless last resort of those without any real arguments to make....'is you still here?'.

Brilliant

In fact, I Pm'ed the Mod again to ask if my account can be killed.

You can then resume your luke-warm supper of cold turkey.

I'm not sure where 'non-firing synapses' figure in the internet book of standard insults but I can guess it is reasonably to the middle, and all the more unexciting for that.

I would say that you are your type are the biggest single problem here, and contribute to holding the game back, in reality. But you cannot see it. That is a shame.

Just remove this site from your favorites list...seems easy...I should explain that I am neither for or against your opinion's. It's just that you don't have to remove your account, you could just not use it anymore if that's what you want...or just create a new account

Besides whining and negative criticism, you know what else kills game? Releasing something that is half finished. The time of release is the most crucial point for any game, and is the time when you want it to be as finished as possible. This is what review sites review, and negative reviews from the big review sites is what a lot of people wait for and base their purchase on.


Rise of Flight's beginning was also suspect because of the constant online connection DRM and the pay per plane model. Those 2 things turned off people at the start, and a lot of folks don't come back.

Its amazing how quickly people forgot the problems ROF had on release. It certainly wasn't released as unfinished as COD, but it was also not as complex. There is very little money in the prop genre and only dedicated flight sim people, like the ROF, and COD teams are still in the business. I'll have to remember to add a few more aircraft to my ROF install. I don't fly it much as I simply don't like the claustrophobic feel of that top wing.

Its also amazing that there are people who think that because someone says something good about COD that they are in denial about the problem that exist, and are hurting the genre. I'm not aware of anyone in the forums who thinks and posts that the sim doesn't need any work. I guess they figure the developer will think we must love the sim they way it is, and won't bother trying to fixing it. I'm quite sure the developer isn't impaired with that logic.

What the development have achieved so far is a mixed bag, that is indicative of any sim released unfinished. The current state of COD, has required years of work, and is a strong base to achieve a very good combat flight sim. As long as they keep working, I'm quite willing to support them. Its just a fact of life that todays combat flight sims are just too complex, expensive, and time consuming, for a small enthusiast developer to handle on time and on budget.

Yes, we could express the argument, that what was released took to long, and wasn't what we expected, but everyone is aware of that.....its time we got over it, and moved on to something else, or stay and support the development with constructive feedback.

Right we have that part clear now....whining kills games.

Now as an extra lesson I'll tell you what fixes games with problems........developers, particularily ones who do their job instead of appeasing spoiled brats.

I made my argument quite clear, the tit-for-tat has been mutual, asking why youre still here is quite valid, you first post here (some whinge about 1C forum censorship) also included a request to be stricken from the forum membership, 21 posts later and you have failed to achieve that.

You can then resume your luke-warm supper of cold turkey.

is it luke-warm or cold? are those synapses fading?

sorry can't help, never read it......I would ask you to lend it to me but I'm not impressed so far.

you would and indeed have on several posts and I thank you for the laughs.
