Well, I'll break my silence and i have to tell you that we are aware of CloD and its filesystem for about a week and i confirm what Avala says.
It is by no way an entirely "NEW" game, it is just a "revamped" IL2 that uses bigger textures and new DirectX.
The developers only took care to put much of its code to .dlls, so they can cripple its modding with New Core Features like in Il2, and this is the only BIG difference with IL2.
As for features, Flight Models, etc... I am Sure IL2 is better as it is now, and it will become much-much better in the future.
The game looks like it was made to import new planes , maps and textures with relative ease, but for CORE features like we can import in IL2 such as ZUTI's MDS, AI triggers, New parameters in its Flight model engine, etc.... it is Very Hard to implement.
So, for a Game that it was "supposedly" worked for 7 years, it is a fail, nothing new.
To me it is Obvious. The game was implemented in roughly 2-3 years at most, perhaps they will have the dignity to tell the truth and admit that its development didn't last 7 years....
Apparently its development was halted up to a point, for some years, and then resumed hastily to be able to "publish" it even in an alpha pre-beta version.
I was Deeply disappointed when i checked the inner file-system of CloD, Clowns Over Dover, the "Next Generations Il2", and everything is like IL2. same inis, same .eff files, same flight Models (with some more details for Damage Model and propeller characteristics), 3d models based on msh, but just 2048x2048 size skins, etc... They used IL2 as main platform and CloD is more than 70% an Il2 with bigger textures.
Total disappointment. Everything is put up in such a hastily way unfinished. Moreover no optimization, nothing...
It took 1 day for Kegetys to make it playable, not "7 years",
You will also see that if you check DB601 and Jumo motors the attached file for sounds is merlin...
And there are much more inconsistencies...
For me CloD may be a better graphics *Game*, but IL2 will remain for Sure a much better Simulator.
Long live IL2 "modding", the best Community-Based WWII combat Simulator.
Han utilizado las mismas herramientas para abrir los ficheros del IL2 y han visto que el modelo de vuelo es el mismo que en IL2. Lo que han dicho de un Sim totalmente nuevo es dudoso.http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/t ... 56.12.html

), me temo que con los 70€ la única novedad que he comprado ha sido un bonito mapa en tela del Canal y las notas de vuelo del Spitfire, que manda huevos
