Thanks also from my part BlackSix, that solved my problem as well :)

Nice weekend!

+1, excellent news.

Q. Why did 1C choose to partner with 777 Studios?
A. 1C has seen the remarkable quality of ROF and its associated technologies1C also liked 777’s ability to be flexible in the marketplace and innovative ideas. 777 Studios has also shown the ability to please its customers and provide excellent communication to the community on development matters.

Sadly we going to get flat lifeless boring scenery same as in RoF and will have to pay our arses for planes, bombs, guns. Wait years for new prepaid content to arrive as we do in Rof then only to get a sale a couple of months later for half the price you paid for your planes etc etc. Not to look forward to sadly:(

Finally! Thanks for your patience with less than technically inclined of us. Managed to make a user and log in now.

You can easily circumvent all of this 'agony' by becoming one of those that buys when it's on sale. Works for me.

I won't speculate on what the 777 1C colaberation will look and play like. However, they are making a mistake having their first entry into WW II and Eastern front title. Offering to sell me the slow, underarmed aircraft of the VVS and Luftwaffe to perform the same limited mundane tatical mission over the boring Russian countryside is a bad business model. ROF thrived because it was a new and relatively modern WW I release.

Here's a novel ,idea start in the MTO, sell me a twin egined Italian torpedo attack aircraft or a P-40, Gladiator etc. The participants are many and varied, RAF ,USAAF,AU NZ ,Italy and the Luftwaffe. A theater where the diversity of missions can include land and sea interdiction, convoy escorts etc. A campaign where both sides depend on the logistics of seaborn supplies to continue the fight.

Not another version of the 109 to fly the 7 miles to the front for more of the same old, same old.

The PTO would be the ultimate !!

Another company I'm not naming here has exactly the opposite pricing strategy: when they release a new product, they have short introduction price which may be like -25% from normal. This few week period often works as last beta test also. So you buy a product that is maybe 90% ready for a bit cheaper price and help them find the last bugs. Then after this price is normal, period.

IMO it's great because
1. it benefits those buyers who buy early
2. it benefits the company because they find last bugs quicker and get money early because people know that the strategy stays the same. It makes sense to buy early instead of waiting some months for cheaper prices

You're contradicting yourself quite a bit here, moaning about flight distances in the East, and then stating the PTO would be the ultimate. In the PTO, flight distances were more often than not, huge.

I for one welcome the Eastern Front back to the il2 series, i'm also a fan of the RoF series and have always thought a WW2 sim would be excellent with their engine.

Could anyone detail to me in a PM what exactly i've missed, why this has all happened and why Luthier has left? Been away for a few months.
