i cant say that i am happy about this situation as i am not. but if buying BOM wil get CLOD to where it should be then i will. maybe if you released them the other way round this could of been prevented

Very, very sad news re: trees

How can we have trees in old IL2, and not in the new IL2 is beyond me.

Maybe we should stop them from swaying in the wind??!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?

No single word on SLI or FSAA. Riddiculous.

Compared to the other issues that CLoD has, these two are so utterly and ridiculously minor issues that they don't warrant mentioning at all.

I developed real sympathy for mr shevchenko from his answers. he comes over like a real person and i feel i understand better why he has such a relationship with fans of the franchise, i really do.

but as usual it is answers like this which make you lose sympathy because of arrogance and because they are just simple incorrect:

1. What specifically is preventing clouds from being depicted in a volume and quality that is competitive with other sims currently on the market?

Are you saying there is a sim out there today that has clouds of better quality at greater volume, and offering better performance? I.e. matches all three criteria, quality, volume, and FPS?

Because I know there isn’t.

Isn't? I must be playing games that don't exist then? Rise of Flight, Battle of Britain II even, War Thunder, Wings of Prey . . . all of these have great clouds in quality, and volume and high fps.

Understanding the competition and recognising they have strengths, is a basic first business skill Mr Shevchenko

and PS, you have the same blind spot about dogfighting AI.

Agreed... So I expect the next game to have better clouds than this

If you think BOB II has better clouds you've got eye sight problems, and that screenshot is a perfect example, don't get me wrong BOB II is a GREAT game, many aspects of it are excellent, the AI in particular is unrivaled by any other flight sim, but it just can't hold a candle to bob for it's environment and lighting, and yes that means the clouds too, not to mention the depth of modeling at the aircraft level, Wings of prey is an arcade shooter and does so much less then COD it's like comparing Team Fortress 2 to ARMA 2, chalk and cheese mate, chalk and cheese.

As far as Luither's posts go, I personally say excellent responses for the most part, I got the humour he intended pretty much straight away, although I can see why some people got a bit antsy over them, text doesn't always convey what is ACTUALLY meant, and the tone can sometimes be misunderstood.

I liked the general tone of the answers, they seemed like real answers coming from a real person, and for that I'm very grateful, and his frank honesty has given me faith in the sequel, and where the series is headed, some were certainly not some of the answers I wanted, but I've always preferred brutal honesty over pretty BS so they doesn't bother me too much, you always know where you stand with it, and thats the way I like it.

Although some of the replies I've read here from some forum members has only confirmed to me at least the type of people they really are, hopefully they really do stay away this time.

I agree, this cloud comment from Luthier made me shake my head. Dude! Play some Rise of Flight, War Thunder. Great looking clouds with smooth fps.
