Cliffs of Dover for $12.49

At this price I promise you will not regret the purchase it has become a really good sim and is constantly improved. I have had a blast with it.
 
Didnt take all that long for it to hit the bargin bin, but I still dont think its worth it. IL2 is still a better game!
 
Not that I've bought it, but UK customers are apparently being offered CloD for £8.75 on the same site. Bargain bin indeed!
 
Having bought a better pc i have reloaded COD and its still stutters even with the latest version yet I can now fly FSX with full settings :mixedsmi:
 
Nice find! This sale is not restricted to UK / US users. I bought it and download right now, and I'm from Germany.

Cheers,
Mark
 
I've just downloaded this and now got a 'steam' icon on my PC. I've clicked on it and created a steam account, but then ascreen comes up with an option to install some other game that I haven't got an interest in. So any one any idea how the frig I play the game that I've just bought and installed ?

I detest stupid marketing techniques on my PC...arrrggghhhhhhh

Any help appreciated
 
Am I skeptical or what? For the game to be selling at this low price so soon after release screams at me it is a dog and any support for the game will dry up PDQ.
 
I bought this game some months ago... have total 30 min play time.....all of it was spent tinkering with settings trying to get the game to display, and restarting the game after it crashed every five minutes.... Knowing what I know now, I wouldn't have paid a single cent for this game. Even if you can run fsx at full settings, as I can, beware, it may not work, and when it does, it may not work correctly.

I would have to agree.

There is a reason it is at that price and from what I have seen it represents it's value. I know a lot of people are now having no problems with it, but the one person I know who has it has a fairly good PC running Win7 and it still runs very bad for him. Shame really. My sample is very small I know but from other forums the sim still has a long way to go.

IL21946 took a long while to go on sale which shows how good it is.

Hope it gets better over time.

Overall, the game was pushed out too early, but considering Oleg spend a good portion of 5 years, I dont know how it wasent a finished game. Its not like they have a massive catalog of flyable aircraft!!!

There has been some support for it from Luthier, but Oleg seems to not be a big part of it anymore. There is still a LOT of support for IL2 with massive 3rd party aircraft for free, online massive servers with moving frontlines, and a collection of great aircraft. The GFX look a little dated vs todays standards, but the FM and combat are still top class. And thats NOT because I did a lot of the aircraft in IL2/1946!!! Its simply the best combat sim ever made, and COD cant hold a candle too it even after almost 10 years.

I think Oleg and his team spend way too much time on historically accurate license plates on tanks, and forgot they were making a FLIGHT sim.
 
Greetings-

I picked up Cliffs of Dover back in November when it was on sale for about the same price. With the state that game is in now, it's worth the sale price, but otherwise I'm not going to play it much until the long awaited 'patch' comes. The game has a LOT of potential, but currently you need a real 'hot rod' of a PC to get it to run decently, and even then it doesn't support anti-aliasing above 2x- be ready for lots of 'jaggies'. Some people have applied a third-party AA patch that was made for another game (Arma2, I think) with some success, but I haven't been able to make it work on my rig.
Meanwhile, when the wires on my Tiger Moth quit looking like dotted lines, then I'll start running up some hours on this game... It will be a beautiful game once they fix it...

Oleg apparently left the project early on...Luthier (Ilya Schevchenko) ran CloD - even SAQson left CloD to develop RoF early on (if he ever worked on it at all)
