You bloody little ripper. We get a second Xmas. My family will be so happy that I'm no longer obsessing about Friday update.
Thanks Team.

For you maybe.

Thats great news, will have to upgrade my rig sooner that i thought. :) :)

Now you can start on a list, and prepare refference for a bunch of gorgeous skins you'll do when you'll get your hands on the game.:mrgreen:
All the skinners will be bussy for a looooong, looooong time!

Please no ridiculous DRM
 

Let me start by saying that I am going to purchase this game no matter what, because I love what Oleg and his team have done, and I'd like to thank them for it. I have spent countless hours strapped into my chair playing IL2 because, in my opinion, there is simply nothing that is more accurate and more enjoyable when it comes to WWII flight simulators.

This being said, I sincerely hope that IL2:CoD does not use some ridiculous anti-piracy solution that inhibits the multiplayer/singleplayer aspect of this game. Sure, there needs to be security in place, but it must not make the game any less enjoyable or reliable for legitimate paying consumers. Regardless of how sophisticated the DRM solution is, hackers will find a way to get around it. This has been demonstrated time and time again, and the main victim in this battle is the honest paying consumer. Which, in turn, eventually leads to a decline in sales. I passionately hope that Oleg and his company do not lose some of their hard earned money to such a small aspect of what appears to be an amazingly well designed product.

As far as my ability to translate spangrish goes I'd say it really refers to 'renegade' Poles, Czechs, French and other pilots from occupied nations, volunteer foreigners, and volunteers from the Commonwealth.

I'm sure it's not some half-arsed "plot device" thing, that would just be stupid.

So excited to actually have a firm date!

Great news, really looking forward to the game!
Dont mean to be a downer, but to be honest I was unimpressed by the graphics I saw. Maybe it was the lower video resolution but it had really bad Jaggies. The cockpit lighting and detail is incredible, photorealistic. I am sure the terrain closer up is more detailed, but in the sky scenes / cliffs it looked very much like WOP graphics.

Yep... Ubi has a checkered history leaning towards the real bad, with the uncanny ability to completely stuff up a really good sim.

IF,... Ubi was not the distributor, I'd buy it even if the first reviews were 'neutral'. For now, I will sit and wait the outcome. Hopefully 1C have UBI on a very, very short leash wrt to this sim.

;)

Sorry my reply was a bit abrupt, I only meant that I will be buying, no matter what, but yes I hope UBI don't screw the pooch with this one, as they did with SH.

This is where I have alot of faith in Oleg, he would not sign a deal with UBI if he thought there was an ice cubes chance in hell of them screwing this up.
