Lack of interest

I have stopped all work on MAW and PTO because there seems to be a lack of interest in them. ETO it seems to be your choice of the addons and I'm not really interested in the ETO that much. I will be concentrating on finishing my model railroad instead and sailing around the Pacific.

aaaawwww....

Talon...that's a real shame...I liked them all...I was looking forward to new MAW and PTO addons...on the other hand I also like model trains too...I don't have it on a table yet (setup can take up a lot of room) It is a dc setup...can have up to 4 trains on same track going different speeds and directions if you want...much better than the old block system wiring...enjoy the sailing too!

Very sorry to hear that Talon, I've just about got my new rig where I want it and just started to enjoy the PTO after a long layoff, I've always been in awe of what you guys craft for our enjoyment and I hope some of the others who carry more weight can convince you stay on!:ernae:
 
I too should get back to my model railroading:icon29: Enjoy life and relax a bit - Will look forward to your return and story's
 
Sorry to hear this. I was looking forward to your MAW work, even if I admit the PTO leaves me reasonably cold - no RAF in it! Never mind, we all need a break...
 
Talon,
I realize your interest in PTO and the long wait for all of this..

It is a Large loss to the team to lose you..
An I hope that you, in time will return...

I will be on skype as always, and perhaps we can continue our great discussions..
I look forward to your tales of the Sea..

Have a great time of it, and I hope to speak with you again..

I'll keep wrecking everything until your return..
God Bless and good sailing..


RATS!!
Bummer..

No lack of interest here.

Your talents and knowledge base will be greatly missed. You are always welcome to return to the sandbox. I think by the end of Q2 you will be pleasantly surprised.

"No lack of interest here either. I'll miss your great work also"

There are great missions for the Eastern Front. MAW 2 never was done and missions after 1943 have to be completed created (facilities, airfields, etc,) and it takes a little time to make the new missions.
Lots of us are interested and busy with MB; but, I am ready to take a break, too. Enjoy your sabatical and we will be waiting with open arms,

God bless

I regularly go after the axis in both the med and the pacific. I shall miss your contributions to the PTO especially.

That said, we also own a 32ft ketch and all my model railroad (ho) stuff is still in boxes awaiting the finishing of the room in which the empire will be built.

So I do understand the call of the sea and the desire to be workin' on the railroad. I hope you get as much of both as you want!

Fair winds, and a highball!
 
I can understand the need for a break. We all reach a burnout point, but a lack of interest. I don't think so. As in real life the ETO got all the glory and the MTO and PTO not to mention CBI got the table scraps.

One need only look at this forum to see an interest in MAW and this is an area that has only had its early years/months covered. I for one was looking forward to the missions that covered Operation Torch, and Tunisia as well as Sicily and Salerno. So much will be missed.

As for PTO, remember that CFS2 was a PTO only simulator and if you check that forum you'll see that it's going strong today. Here again it is more a lack of material, which must I admit, has to be made from scratch, than a lack of interest. This is an area that has so much room for creating missions and aircraft. The island hopping up the Solomons and New Guinea with the US Army Air Corp, RAAF, RNZAF and US Navy carrier ops. Lae, The Battle of the Bismark Sea (a real shoot em up), and the campaign for Rabaul. There is a lot of creative gold to be mined here. I'm not very familiar with mission builder myself, but I have a couple of ideas for historical Wildcat missions floating around in my head I might try.

So, by all means please take a much deserved break and rest we all need them, but a lack of interest? Never!
 
I can't speak for anyone else, but I am looking forward to the PTO developments/new SEAC theatre Rob has already mentioned. And for modellers, there's a lot of scope - many aircraft which saw service in the Far East and haven't been built for CFS3 yet and would also feature in MAW.

Slim's 14th Army was called the forgotten army and the air war in SE Asia is also often forgotten, but it had one of my heroes proving himself for the third time: Keith Park. First the Battle of Britain, then turning the defense of Malta into an offensive campaign (poor old Kesselring, second time unlucky!) and finally the air war in Burma.

Lots of scope! :jump:
 
i was greatly looking foward to the PTO and MAW work to,
but make sure you do what YOU want to do, that's what matters
 
Talon, nothing could be farther from the truth. In fact I personally would like to see both these sims get a major boost in intrest, and attention. Your contributions will be sorrly missed.
 
Hmmm

While things appear slow at the moment, progress takes time. I for one do not model much for PTO, but the b-24, cat, and sunderland all flew in the pacific. The P38 and P47 did as well (mentions this as there some new ones coming soon????). I also believe that the Beaufort did too. Steve is making a few new Japanese planes folks are trying to get some new ships into play plus the new sandboxes being developed. Talon, not intending to pick a fight, but hey given the number of folks we still have doing work, there is a fair amount of new pieces being produced.
 
No Lack of interest here, Heck Just released a PTO set for the men to enjoy..

Talon your a Master and deserve the respect of all here..
I do Hope you will again Bless the Team with your great works..
Bravo.. And Thanks..
Look forward to speaking with you on skype soon..
 
Whatever ya do, have fun... and I for one, would luv ta see some pix
of your train set.... and, of course, don't be a stranger!!:salute:
 
I too feel a lack of interest but not by everyone here, it's on my part.
I just feel the lack of good ai and effects have made me loose interest.
now the new IL2 on the other hand looks good to me but I hope the FM's are as real as the models..
