Feathered_IV Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 I think it has been mentioned that a number of team members are not able to work on things at the moment due to their current home and work commitments. If things pick up again I’m sure we’ll hear about it.
Missionbug Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 You would think in this day and age even with a occupation that involves a lot of travel at least a few images or sentences could be posted from a lap top or PC wherever the guys responsible for updates are. In a time where everything revolves around their I phone it seems the tech savvy are anything but. Maybe MP should rejoin the group and we could get back to some real communication, as things stand this is no way to promote any sim development, we will all be asleep or gone elsewhere when it is finally released. Wishing you all the very best, Pete. 1 2

keeno Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 Just how hard can it be to put out a few pictures and a few words each month to show how development is going and to keep fans interested? 3
Urra Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 It was not positive turn of events when mysticpuma stopped doing it. Four sentences about anything literally would be great on a monthly basis. 2
354thFG_Leifr Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 "It's coming soon guys, honestly it's going to be great. We have to enter our fourth private beta test of the alpha branch first though, the wait will be worth it!" 1 3 1

Well technically I didn't stop, I got booted off the team after being accused of leaking information from the private forums ..... then after I was booted the leaks continued ? Sorry chaps, I won't be going back, don't have the heart to be treated that way again as much as I did love the game.... updates seem to be going fine and the Facebook page I spent years cultivating to 3500 followers is now at 60 days since the last TFS input which is quite sad Still v5.00 is coming......... 2 2 6
DD_Arthur Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 I just dont understand. Here we are in the middle of the year with summer about to start, BoX about to release another update to the game, DCS releasing stuff regularly and the people running the show over at CLoD/ATAG/TFS seem to have no ability to do PR whatsoever. The old new PR guy seems to have gone off on a business trip to the Bermuda Triangle whilst the new new PR guy hasn't actually posted on this forum at all. It's just bizarre. With the player numbers for Blitz still falling no news is very bad news indeed. v5.00? If the next update from the new PR guy really is about the Gladiator and can't feature a Spit mk. V or a '109F4 cockpit in the new map then we'll know it'll be a Christmas release..... 5
keeno Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 That's bad shit Mystic.....after all you did to keep the fans interested and informed! 1 1 2
No.54_Reddog Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 Chaps, some of you are forgetting that all is on track. Buzzsaw has repeatedly since 2016 told us that there is a plan, they are working to that plan and everything on the plan is planned. The fact that they've never shared the plan and no one I have ever spoken to knows what that plan is is irrelevant. I'm sure that like death and taxes, TF5 being released is inevitable. None of us may be around to see it, but it will happen. I'm certain. OK. Maybe 95%. Ish. Let's call it 50:50? 4 1 1

Ala13_pienoir Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) Gentlemen of TF To pronounce Read these things at this point is incredible do not care? It can not be true, can it? It disturbs me what counts Mr. Misticpuma, that seems not to help much to have a good image We all hope TF5 As much as you say around here, they are looking forward to having the update I'm sure that TF5 will come out, but these attitudes do not help much to think that it will be a quality product On the contrary, prepare when they take TF5, it will be much worse what they will hear !! regards EDIT: The people are very hard with you but you do not do anything about it TF5 will arrive when people are already very angry Edited May 30, 2019 by E69_pienoir 1 1
InProgress Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 To be honest if i was in TF it would just piss me off. You have your real job, a family, responsibilities and want some free time for yourself as well. Then you got people crying and demanding on forum that they want updates all the time. Maybe there is nothing to show because they are busy with real life. Really, stop being so annoying, this is not 777/1C where they work full time on it. In 2 weeks i menaged to play for 2h today and actually sit on pc for my 1 free day. I can imagine it's the same with many people at TF. It was all known from the start it's part time project and not full time job. It will be ready when it will be ready. I am glad they still work on clod, does not matter if they put some dev diaries or not. Many devs don't do that at all. If someone really enjoys the game he wont be butthurt about lack of DD and buy it when it's ready instead of throw temper tantrum because they did not make DD every month... 4 2 3
Aap Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Most people are not crying or demanding anything, really. For most, CloD is a dead game already, so they don't care. If it pissed of TFS that some people still show interest in this game for whatever reason and ask for updates, then they should not hint about things like TF 6.0 that depends on TF 5.0 sales or even have a section for CloD development on these forums. Even when the devs were asked, long time ago, when Tobruk would be ready, then the legend-worthy answer "Sooner than you think" (it sounds actually cooler than Oleg's "two weeks") went unnoticed, because people just did not care any more. And that was long time ago. 5
Sokol1 Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 At this stage what rest about 5.0 to be show? Map and assets was already show, cockpit WiP pictures too, even some of new planes flying in game... Just continue post endless WiP pictures like was made in ~5+ years of CloD development became old. I am more interested in "news" about fix old bugs and flaws, than in "new contend" over the same old and somewhat broken base. 3
keeno Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Inprogress.......... sorry! you were saying something about "temper tantrum!" ? 2
69thSpiritus Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 We'll have another update in the next couple weeks. Most the new planes are in game and being tested so we'll have some screens of all of those, including the 202, Martlet, Spits, 109Fs, D520, so on. There are a lot of fixes being made or been completed, and the new map looks great and is being populated. We will post the news when we have the news and have time. Like everyone knows because we've said it just as much as people have complained about it, we all have 40+ hour a week jobs and we work on this stuff during our time off, which varies greatly. If you don't want to buy 5.0 when it comes out, then cool. If you do, then cool. If you want to wait to see the reaction to those who buy it immediately, then cool. If you think CloD is dead and you won't be buying it, then there is no point in continuing to complain or make remarks about CloD. Go have fun flying BoX or DCS or whatever. @MP, I have respect for you and am grateful for all you did for TFS but please don't open this can of worms in public, no one smells like a rose with that particular situation. And why not: Here, have another: 11 2

It's not really if you think clod is dead, it is, doesn't mean tf 5.0 won't be fun and I will 99% end up playing it. But clod is very dead. More people play il2 1946 online.
DD_Arthur Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 Spiritus, what is going on with TFS's PR effort? You do have a new PR man don't you; ATAG_Pattle? Why isn't he posting stuff here instead of it being left to you again? 1

Why isn't he posting stuff here instead of it being left to you again? Bonkin is still here, he just has a bunch of projects in his RL job at the moment, but he is still working on a few things. Pattle just recently joined and is working in a few areas, but is also helping out in the updates. He has one in the works and once it is finished one of us will post it here. I just figured I'd post some shots just because, and I felt I needed to post a response in this board. I've been working more in the shadows the last 6 months because I've been working much more in RL lately, so my spare time was needed on all my projects rather than checking the boards. Now that I have more time, I'll be helping out when I can in other areas. ?

This is how ridiculous it sounds. Most people don't care about multiplayer anyway. For me and many other multiplayer means everything. IL2 GB is not dead because I can find dozens of other simers every day of the week. This is not unfortunately true for Rise of Flight where most time servers are empty . I can't say anything about CLOD because I abondon it 2 years ago and I do not check players availability from web (servers) like I can do for ROF.

buster_dee Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 Perrrrty Martlet. I agree that updates on bug fixing is interesting in its own right. I'm a visual guy, but I like 'under the hood' too. Thanks TFS for committing to the 'long game.' 1 1

DD_Arthur Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 @Spiritus; understood and thanks for taking the time to post here. Your Martlet is obviously going to be a gem. I can't help feeling that 'TFS Leadership' really need to recognize how important some sort of PR effort is needed now. 1

Feathered_IV Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 It seems much to early to be asking for weekly updates. Reading through the proposed list of new features and considering the rate of progress when creating previous updates, I wouldn't expect to see version 5 for at least another 18 months minimum. 1

Any lover of aerial war wants that a human person sits on the enemy plane, not a lot of foolish algorithms First of all: BoX devs state way more people play BoX offline than online - and since clod has the same target audience it would probably be the same if the game had anything to offer offline other than one scripted British campaign, one completely broken German campaign and some quick missions. And if features like loadouts was working in SP... I know TFS is improving SP for 5.0. They didn't in 4.5 - so who can seriously disagree with the statement SP is currently broken? Not even Desastersoft campaigns, that had a good reputation, are available anymore.
Ala13_pienoir Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) what is a disproportion is to say that cod is broken Or that the reason for its failure is that the SP does not work The reasons are many and varied, but not those In fact it is a lack of absolute respect and a disdain for this simulator that I would like to remind you that you have some online campaign in service Edit: cod looks like a punching bag in a gym you never go to but every once in a while you remember to give it a few hit Edited May 31, 2019 by E69_pienoir 1

I find this thesis not convincing... And criticizing a product does not mean on doesn't like it. The game looks beautiful, has terrific FM/DM and I love the a/c fidelity. It's a marvel what TF made out of the original release. I really like all these aspects of the game - but until now I as a SP-only-player have always felt left out since SP stayed broken... So no need to be defensive - it has not neccessarily to do with "disrespect" or "disdain" if someone is critical about the game - or asks questions about the future...
Ala13_pienoir Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) for me it's fine nobody is on the defensive what can not be is that any thread of the cod ends with people gutting the simulator it's the usual, boring ................ Edit: surely many who do not have it already or uninstalled continue to release what they think by mouth it bothers me Edited May 31, 2019 by E69_pienoir 1
