69thSpiritus Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Thanks Jason and 1C, we look forward to moving our small genre into the future along side BoS/BoM/BoK/BoX. Good times to be had by all.
smink1701 Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 It's official and it's amazing! Question ... in the TFS August 25th video that shows all the current enhancements to Cliffs of Dover (no longer will I use CLoD), how many of the improved elements ... map textures, clouds, updated reticles, visual and sound effects, etc ... will be incorporated in the merged updates version available soon on Steam vs when 5.0 comes out later in the year? Thanks!
Beazil Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Incredible. Way to go Team Fusion. Way to go Jason. Thanks for making our hobby that much better and for "keeping the dream alive". 1
I/JG2_Saladin Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Finally the IL-2 Series is reborn ! Congratulations to the Staph of TFS
Vlerkies Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Congratulations, well done and thank you to all parties.

Thanks! Hi Smink. We can't say at the moment in all honesty. v4.312 will be the same as you currently have (if you have our patches installed). v4.5 will have some content added, probably some visual effects and fixes (possibly things like mirrors that work, landscape textures, etc, etc - all as yet to be decided) and maybe a 2-3 free aircraft (yes, all to be decided). First thing we need to do is look at the Source Code and see where some of those bugs are hiding and how and how long it will take to fix them We are on it though! Cheers, Mysticpuma 2
Mysticpuma Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) I'd just like to say on behalf at all of us at Team Fusion Simulations, a big thanks to Jason and Nikolay for their support during this process. Yes it's been complicated and we appreciate that the community wanted the deal to be signed shortly after announcing it, but you have to realise this is a real deal with real legal binding contracts and in big business this means all the ticks and crosses have to be checked and re-checked! Well, it's all done and dusted and now we are pleased to move forward and be able to work as part of this huge team and community with a common love for WW2 combat flight-sims. Here's to the future of CloD Cheers, Mysticpuma Edited March 23, 2017 by Mysticpuma 7
Guest deleted@30725 Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) I was quite late to clod, only buying it a couple of years ago and instantly putting on the team fusion mod and then deciding the pits were the best I'd ever seen so I've never played it in vanilla form. It's an excellent game with the mod update and I'm sure it will only continue to get better with more time being put into it. I prefer Il2 bos, but it's fantastic that we have all these fantastic flight sim options at the moment and I do take to the skies in clod still. There almost seems to be a flight sim to suit all tastes now. I'm certainly going to be keeping my eyes open to see what the paid content looks like and future updates. I only ask one question - Why the heck do I have the band of brothers theme in my head now. Edited March 23, 2017 by deleted@30725
Ste_Smith Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Well done. Like I said this a few days ago.... Is there going to be a project schedule of dates and content published or do we get to guess what we are getting like Christmas? When are you going to take my money for preorder??
Luger1969 Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Bloody marvellous chaps. Congrats and looking forward to what is to come.

Honestly I have not played Cliffs forever and have never updated... but am looking forward to remedying that situation!!!
SCG_Space_Ghost Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Well done. Like I said this a few days ago.... -snip- Saw that coming.
Extreme_One Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Fantastic news! Looking forward to hearing more detail ...
Wolf_just_wolf Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) My congratulations both. It's really great event IMHO. It's wonderful, that 777 looks far ahead.(Pardon for my English ) Edited March 23, 2017 by Wolf_just_wolf
Retnek Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Here's to the future of CloD - and now the basar is open? There are several features missing right from the beginning and now there is a new situation! So I think it not asked to much to reconsider the inclusion of features some, a lot - no - most of us are missing! As there are the Dornier-bombers, several iconic floating-planes, the Defiant, the Fairley Battle, the Whitley and the Hampden, the Bücker-Trainers, some gliders, at least three of the contemporary dutch and french planes, a civil airline conversion "Europe in Peace 1942", all European aircraft carrier projects until 1943 and for very special, but often requested purposes the highly detailed representation of WAAFs and Blitzmädels taking a sun-bath at the backyard of their barracks!
Freycinet Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 So happy about this. In a world full of bad news this tidbit brings a smile to my lips. 1
senseispcc Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 I did always believe that COD "IS" a great game but was never given a real chance to mature to its real potential, maybe now?! Let us hope an thank you for this great and wonderful news.
BeastyBaiter Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Interesting news. Haven't played CloD since maybe a couple weeks after it was released, was terribly disappointed with it at the time. I'll definitely give it a look again once they get it patched up.
SOLIDKREATE Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) This makes me happy in the pants. I wonder if they will include the 65th FS P-47D-2-RE's, VS-41's SBD-3's or the 27th FS P-38F-1-LO's from Operation Torch. So many planes to add! Edited March 23, 2017 by 10.N./ZG1_SPEKTRE76
No601_Swallow Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 - and now the basar is open? There are several features missing right from the beginning... Steady on, old chap! Let's start with, say, functioning search lights! Baby steps, baby steps... (Then maybe some of the "deep down" issues, like FMB deficits like different types of triggers, the contortions mission builders have to go through just to have runway starts, erm, erm, the weird distinction between "buildings" and... Bugger! It's been too long! Time to fix my install now I'm on Windows 10, and fire up that FMB once again if only to remind myself of why I spent all those years (!) tearing my hair out!) MP - many thanks for your comments on this forum! May the patience on Job remain with you guys at TF! Coolest dudes in Simworld .
TG-55Panthercules Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Oh man! I am so jazzed about the prospect of the North Africa add-on. I've been wanting some quality sim to tackle the MTO for so long, and was bitterly disappointed when first the old IL-2 and then BoS/BoX decided to go to the PTO instead (even though I did enjoy some of the carrier ops aspects of old IL-2's PTO implementation and am looking forward to seeing what the BoS/BoX team will do with it when they get there, too). Definitely going to be picking up another copy of CoD when the North Africa package is available, if not before (can't find my old copy, but I'd probably just buy another one anyway, to support the team for moving in this remarkable direction).
kestrel79 Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Congrats! Haven't touched CloD in years but once the official patch comes out I'm back in, thank you!
71st_AH_Mastiff Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 whooo another Gorgeous Flight Sim down the pipes..hope for release 2 weeks right?
Rjel Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Great move. This is another positive development for the FS community. I've no idea how many copies of Cliffs are out there waiting to be "reborn" but it would seem there is a lot of player base waiting to be exploited with future updates and add ons. I hope it won't get me in trouble for saying it but if someday the FMs were all standardized in both CoD and the BoX world, I'd be thrilled. But that's just my opinion.
Feathered_IV Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Great news, and a good deal faster than I was expecting too. Well done!
BOO Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Having a "feel good and it just works" steam patch right there is such a positive thing. Hopefully it brings many new and old players back not only into this sim but into simming again period. I don't expend it will be enormous numbers but the allure of a western front environment with iconic types and a very nice package to boot should float the boat of a few more brits at least. A few reviews around the web and on some special interest sites to raise awareness wouldn't hurt either but what all titles need are good SP campaigns to. I would guess the majority of the player base do not play online afterall. Hopefully that is also something that can be addressed.
Mastermariner Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 As clear as if it was today I remember the day when CLOD died and Il-2 was sold. I posted in the forum that “I put my trust and hope in the modding community” to develop and care for CLOD, a great deal of ridicule of this was posted and even a stern rejection of the idea by a ‘senior owner’. Today I stand as victor, well not really, I didn’t have to do anything just waited for ingenious people to work it out for me and then enjoy the fruit of their labour, and now hopefully it will benefit financially the owner and labourers of this wonderful sim. I hope Oleg rejoice with us. Master
9./JG54_GERMANWOLF Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Pilots! You can discuss this topic here in this area of the forum. Original Announcement Here. Jason HELLO JASON, I have been flying in both simulators for many years, an important point I am observing is that the physics of the two simulators are a bit different, I think there must be an urgent correction on both sides, so that the virtual pilots do not feel a difference when flying , I think we have to reach a balance point so when we play any of them there can not be that feeling of difference. It's one of the points that we find a bit strange. Thank you and sorry for the writing errors, I'm from Brazil and I used a translator. S!
Grancesc Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Back then when CoD was launched, I was one of its first users. I loved this sim despite all its initial deficiencies and the massive criticism by the community. There is no CoD-based SP-campaign I haven't played several times. But when the whole project was taken over by a group of (not commercial) enthusiast and the first TF-patches were not Win 8/10 compatible, I changed into the BOX-camp.This agreement with 1C/777 marks a new era - for me a rebirth of CoD. I really can't wait for the new North Africa scenario. I'm slowly tired of the eastern front and the Pacific battles are of little interest to me. I know a whole lot of people who made similar experiences - especially Western Europeans.
Chief_Mouser Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Great news. Time to get Cliffs on to the new rig and wait with bated breath! Really looking forward to the Med; so many interesting aircraft and scenarios. Cheers.
Roast Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Great news, loads of opportunities in this scenario And a good excuse to go fly one of the SAAF squadrons, preferably Spits Vb/c or IX!
