1C Game Studios to Cooperate with Team Fusion on IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover

 

1C Game Studios is excited to announce that we have reached an agreement in principle to cooperate with Team Fusion on future commercial development of IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover. This includes giving Team Fusion access to the Cliffs of Dover source code so they may continue their work to fix and improve Cliffs of Dover and build commercial add-ons for the base title. Such cooperation was made possible only recently as full ownership rights to Cliffs of Dover was returned to 1C Company after many years.  We can now allow Team Fusion to continue their work more comfortably and help turn Cliffs of Dover into the product is was intended to be. 1C Game Studios recognizes the hard work and passion that Team Fusion has exhibited in improving Cliffs of Dover and we welcome their continued dedication to the product. We also welcome them to the 1C Game Studios family of developers who help make the combat flight-sim genre and IL-2 Sturmovik series so compelling.

 

Pilots!

Crikey!

Sounds like fantastic news! I'm sure Team Fusion will be greatly helped by getting source code access.

[216th_Jordan]

I'm not actually playing CloD but this is very nice to hear! 

[GSE_schentzer]

This is really great news! Never thought that this was going to happen!

 

My ticket for the MTO-hypetrain!

[JG4_Karaya]

This is seriously exciting news! Thank you to everybody involved in making this happen!

[1./TG1_Nil]

Me too I tried CLOD with Team Fusion patches but it did not meet my expectations, but this is very nice to hear!

Team Fusion is a serious dedicated team. 

They did a lot of work to make CLOD better.

That is the best thing happening to them and for players who feel pain to patch the sim.

 

One more step for WW2 simulation is made!

(although I would much prefer if they make a Battle of North Africa for IL BOX, but that is another story...)

[carts]

Impressive news,futures looking a wee bit brighter.

[JG4_dingsda]

[NahkaSukka]

Great if the could bring CloD back to life!

[6./ZG26_McKvack]

Great news!

[Blooddawn1942]

Holy S**t! UNBELIEVABLE

[Pinko]

Wow! That is very cool.

I'd love it if some of the AI issues in CloD which prevent me enjoying it can be fixed at some point!

Maybe I'll reinstall Clod and revisit it...

[71st_AH_Mastiff]

This is Fantastic news in the Flight simming World!!!

[9./JG52_Meyer]

Fantastic news  9./JG52 are packing their suntan lotions as we speak AFRIKA here we come

[BorysVorobyov]

That is amazing! I may just give clod another shot when they get it all updated! You guys are awesome for giving them full access. I imagine it will be brought back to life and become as great as it was supposed to be. Now people should really understand the BoX move to the Pacific instead of the Mediterranean.

[Jade_Monkey]

That explains not going to north Africa.

Sounds like its a good thing for flight sims in general. Good luck!

21st december:

- date of this CloDo annoucement

- International Day of Orgasm

 

 

Coincidence?

I don't think so!

[Blooddawn1942]

And so unexpected! Hit me like a Hammer out of nowhere! I heard no rumors... Nothing....
This is a giant step for the WWII simworld!

[Mysticpuma]

Team Fusion would like to thank Jason Williams, Nikolay Baryshnikov and 1C Games for their generous decision to take this first step towards partnering with us.

 

We hope to fulfill their trust and provide a worthy successor to CLIFFS OF DOVER, in the proud tradition of BATTLE OF STALINGRAD, BATTLE OF MOSCOW and the entire IL-2 STURMOVIK series.

 

We look forward to a long and productive collaboration between our companies.

[TunaEatsLion]

S! Omg. Thank you!

[csThor]

For a second or two I was tempted to check whether I had missed today being April 1st or not ... but suddenly a bunch of things clicked into place (i.e. the North Africa thing). All the best to TF.

[II/JG17_HerrMurf]

Wow, nicely done on both teams part.

[9./JG52_gr00ve]

great news! 

[BorysVorobyov]

It's a new golden age of Il-2

[PicksKing]

I would be more excited if there will be a non-steam version of CoD. Steam is the only reason why I dont play it.

[Zami]

That`s good news, well done!

[Veteran66]

nice

[Sargoth]

Does that mean that Cliffs of Dover will be sold through steam again?

[ESCOMM_Viper]

Amazing!

[JG4_Karaya]

Does that mean that Cliffs of Dover will be sold through steam again?

 

It has been and still is up for sale on Steam!

[LittleJP]

WHAT.

 

YES.

[TheBlackPenguin]

Excellent news! 

 

So, does that potentially mean a possibility of more flyables? It would be great to fly the Defiant. I'd actually pay for that .

[Pavulon]

Great news. I will support both projects!!! Good job guys!!!!

[=IRSS=3wu]

Fantastic news!!

[307_Banzai]

Fantastic news.

I honestly never imagined it would happen.

Thanks to all who made it possible.

[jcomm]

Nice move by 1C / 777!

 

Congratulations.

 

Did try TF CloD but, well, after having used il-2 Battle of Stalingrad, it's difficult to find anything up to it's level in many aspects... Anyway, that's good news!

[smink1701]

Unbelievable news.  I mean this literally.  NEVER even dreamed of this happening.  Very smart of both parties to put this deal together!  I for one can't wait.  Who will have the better Spitfire, CLoD or IL2???  Let the competition begin!

[J4SCrisZeri]

This is insanely awesome, beyond any belief!
