S!

Well, I liked these answers more. Honest and blunt. I hope the "Last Patch of CoD" will address critical issues so we can play meanwhile waiting for the sequel. Maybe should consider some DLC for CoD to get funds, like RoF. Sure has been discussed but still a viable option as there are things improving the game people would pay a small fee of. CoD is on the verge of greatness in many ways, just some issues keep it from reaching that yet. I hope the sequel restores the standard we were used to with IL-2 series before.

Definitely not judging anyone for their attitude or saying they have no right to feel that way, but I personally can only take so much abuse, and that’s why I post here so rarely.

That's only human.

Those who waste away their lives spouting hate on these forums aren't ever going to contribute anything worthwhile to this world. You've made a sim that, though flawed, has allowed us a peek into the future of hi-fi flight simming. And hopefully not a peek into an alternate universe!

With BoM the main effort should be towards delivering the technological breakthroughs of CoD in an appetizing and user-friendly package.

It will be crucial to the success of BoM that the community is allowed to populate the sandbox, so I think a major effort should go towards documentation. A website explaining the FMB thoroughly (where users can also upload cool scripts). And tutorials on how to fly the planes (like the DCS series in-cockpit interactive ones). That will go a long way towards the catalytic level, where the sim develops a life on its own, like Il-2 "Classic."

I always dreamt of (virtually) flying in WWII. With CoD you have kept the dream alive, but unfortunately not totally fulfilled. I wish you success in the future, so that you + an active community can help fulfill the dream!

And if you need some positive vibes, check out my CoD movies, passing half a million views pretty soon... The interest and passion is out there, just got to grab it!
