I advise you move closer to work and get a bicycle (that'll help with the hangovers too)!

You know guys, I have no clue why this isn't being demanded more by the community: a comprehensive DCG.
I wrote this many times already, it will give infinite replayability, it will work with CoD and BoM, you make your own storyline, the game will always be fresh.

New planes, yeah that would be nice, new campaigns, good too, but a good DCG is a must for a game like this.

And as for RoF, it was in the beginning an online game only and only because of the community they introduced a SP career mode, a sort of DCG. They have gone very much overboard with charging for add-ons, not even DLC, just add-ons, such as planes (yes, I consider those an add-on, not real DLC) and little gadgets for your planes, called "field-mods"

I am aware of the community efforts to bring a dynamic campaign to CoD and they are much appreciated, but so far there is nothing in terms of really comprehensive.

I also agree that the devs are quite occupied with other issues of the sim to actually even consider giving us a DCG, what a shame.

I wish..

Problem is I work in a remote location (WSMR)

The closet housing is about 15 miles and is unacceptable, as in mostly shacks and way too hot most of the year.. The next closet city is Las Cruces at about 30 miles away.. better housing but still way too hot most of the year.

I prefer living at 7,500 ft where it is nice a cool! That and I just love waking up in the morning and watching elk, deer, wild turkeys, etc walking threw my yard as I drink my morning cup of coffee

DLC is needed for CLOD, lets create waves

About making waves... only rich or less intelligent people vote for DLC, imo of course.

I can see the ROF business model and the original IL-2 business model being used in the new series. The developer selling large theaters including aircraft, third party's supplying payware smaller theaters and aircraft, and the mod community supplying free and paid content.

Everything in COD will change over the next ten years, alot of it we will pay for. We will get plenty of free missions and campaigns from the community, maybe even some aircraft and cockpits. The developer will be making aircraft and cockpits for other theaters that can be used historically on the COD map. Hopefully third party MSFS developers will start providing payware aircraft aswell. Other third parties will develop and build payware campaigns like the Battle for France and Poland, that could include new aircraft. Many third party small maps will be free, others payware, depending on content. The developer supplied tools will make the content for the new series virtually endless.

The Channel Map will be greatly improved and detail added free by the community.
The developer will add Dynamic Weather in one of the Sequels that we'll be able to add to the COD map for the price of the sequel. Most any new feature added in the sequels could be added to the COD map.

You could argue that some features were promised for COD, and we will have to buy the sequel to get them, but the problem with that is there were never any promises, just features that the developer were working on that they hoped to implement sometime in the series.

The future is starting to look bright. The Channel Map will be just one of a hundred maps that we will be able to apply the latest AI, COMMANDS, FM, DM, Graphics, Dynamic Weather, etc etc etc.

Even though I now have Rof, and have purchased all the planes, I still do not like a business model that has you purchase cockpit items that should be standard equipment, you know, things like gun sights, and instruments.

I understand that flight simulation is a dodgy business in and of itself, but there are some things that just don't seem right about pay as you go systems like R0F's.

I enjoy the sim, but it is getting a bit limited in scope because of the way that online works.

I would much rather purchase large expansions, like we did with IL2, that come with more maps, and various ground and sea objects, that really flesh out the historical aspects of any sim.

Defiant - flyable - 1C approved - A$1,000
Wellington - flyable - 1C approved - $50
FW200 - flyable - 1C approved - $50
