WHAT! AWESOME!
This is amazing news, great work Team Fusion!
What a great day and a perfect Christmas present.
The guys at Team Fusion (Simulations) are the best and none of us would be celebrating this wonderful news without their hard work, dedication and foresight. Thank you guys you deserve the best Christmas ever.
I have had BoS from the start and have also bought BoM & BoK as well as some of the collectable planes. In fact I played BoS single player before downloading Cliffs of Dover. They are different but we as a community should support CFS any way we can.
1C Online Games and Jason also deserve our thanks. Let us hope this partnership goes from strength to strength and we can keep this awesome hobby of ours alive.
A very Merry Christmas all!

Like evryone else i got really excited with these news. I never tought we would see this day come. Such a huge step for evrything. For evryone. For us the flight simmers passionates
This means faster and better? (unfair statement perhaps) development from TF(S)
This means no more download/instalation problems as before (weeeee we get more free time to play!)
This means more people jumping in just because its "official" and in the future the "Mod" word will disapear, along with the statement of beeing a "hack" (yes i know weird, but many people still see it that way)
And so many things more. Congrats. Just congrats. To evryone on Team Fusion. You are all equally important. The balance of you guys genious and generosity made us enjoy all these years the product of your labor.
Keep up the good work. Thanks for allow us to dream with you lot
Merry Christmas!
Congratulations! I guess this officially makes(or keeps?) Cliffs of Dover a current gen flight sim. It's good to see the TF team get official recognition.
I hope that moving over to DX11 will provide the game with the performance boosts it needs over the cities and when there are a lot of aircraft in the air. Does this mean that TF 5, North Africa will be getting an official SP campaign as well?
Great!

Couldn't be happier! Congrats to all at TF!
This is such great news! I had hoped for this day, but honestly never thought it would happen. Thank you TFS and 1C games for realising the true potential of what could be by joining forces! We will ALL benefit from it! I to will be doing my part to support both teams in the future! It's cold, foggy and snowy here where I live.. But today it's Sunny and 75! Many thanks to everyone that has and is making this possible! S!
Cheers

This is great news!
Congratulations to all parties involved and particular thanks to all at Team Fusion Simulations.
I wonder if this means one day I might get a Mosquito to fly?
Stranger things have happened..............
Merry Christmas CloDers.
Stunning news! Looks like CLOD will provide us with many more years of gameplay..well done to Team Fusion members (past and present). Very welcomed news!!
Hi Nic,
Until someone better qualified jumps in with more info, the short answer to your first question is "yes". Basically upon ordering the collector edition you purchased the game licence which is recognized by Steam. At present Steam will install what we call the "vanilla" version of the game ie the last version 1C released back in 2012 before Team Fusion was created. Currently you then can download the free Team Fusion patches and manually install them sequentially. The last patch will bring you up to the current Team Fusion 4.312 version which we all have.
Ultimately, per this announcement, Steam will automatically update licensed versions of Cliffs of Dover (including yours) to a current version. Future additions (maps, aircraft, features, etc) will be available for purchase via Steam.
At this time there is no physical version of Clod available (AFAIK) - just the Steam installation of the vanilla version, plus the TF patches available through this forum at the top of the page.

I literally had tears in my eyes as I saw the video with those great news!
I couldn't believe it, it's so awesome.
I wanted to thank everyone, who did support Team Fusion and ATAG and everyone, who also donated here to keep this dream alive.
Not to mention of all those players who did populate this game.

Just out of genuine curiosity:
Why are some people be upset about this? Are their reservations and fears warranted? If yes, to what extent? Is for instance the prime paradigm of realism compromised because financial gain is at risk? i.e. balancing and such.
I am by no means trying to start a heated debate here, I am as stoked as the next guy, but if someone could clear me up, that would be nice.

For me it was something in the air since the strange release of BoK and not a Mediterranean theater with the intention of not interfering with TF work. Was something between the lines for me (maybe I'm wrong).
Hope this will be able to bring some new fresh air to the sim.
Good luck for your work and your experience since this as you said will bring you new standards and challenges!
I really appreciated the fact that "new clod with tf 4" will be free of charge.
Any ideas about price for TF 5? Or an estimated release period?

As others have said WOW Just last night I loaded up COD (first time in 3 weeks) and through steam it appeared it was completely reinstalled, however all mods remained in tack, could have been just checking that I do own COD. Did a quick flight over London and working just as always.
Again great news

I have no problem paying for a new theater/campaign, but I expect you'll turn off a lot of people if you charge for individual aircraft. It should be a level playing field, so if you are going to fly the desert campaign everyone should be able to choose any plane available. Basing your ability to score in-game partly on your wallet will make it a lot less enjoyable. That was one of the features about BOS that I found distasteful.

Outstanding news. Congrats to TFS and 1C! Hurry up and take my money!!!
I'd also like to take this opportunity to send out my personal thanks to both groups. It's their work which prevents my having to turn to War Thunder or Aces High to get an online WWII air combat fix. You have no idea how big a deal that is for me.

Gentlemen...Congratulations!
The more I dig into the scripting code, the more data the engine reveals that can be used to do all sorts of things to enhance the gaming experience. An active airfield is truly a thing to behold an one being bombed is quite spectacular too.
I too am getting ready to release another version of my Dynamic campaign for single-player. A lot of bug fixes in this one. The ideas for improving it just keep on coming, I can't leave well enough alone. What can I say I like coding. (when it works)
A Question:
Will the source code be available to those who might like to see it ?
A request:
Please make your updates available apart from Steam. I really don't like it.
Simply wonderful news.
Visionary.
Props to all involved in making this happen.
Particularly glad that you guys will receive future recognition and reward for all your hard work todate, when this comes to fruition.
The stars are aligned for once.

This is Great News for the CFS community. "IF" this deal is finalized, I will definitely restart my financial support of 777 Studio products.
Wow guys, words can not express how happy I am right now!
Congrats, all the hard work has really paid off this time.
