Hmm - I've played IL2COD since the 1st day it was released (in Russia).

I guess I have the magical copy of the game that loaded? I must of had the magical copy of the game that made a dedicated server? Perhaps I had the magical copy of the game that made the FMB work to build missions?

Gosh I must be the lucky one!

But in all seriousness. Name one piece of software that was ever released without a single bug. Good luck with that.

I haven't contributed much in the way of bug fixing etc so i don't expect any reward, but a new plane with each patch would be nice, just like Il2.

If they produce a quality product with BOM, then I'm willing to pay a quality price. If other simmers, with more input & support, want to be rewarded with a cheaper game, i have no problems with that.

On a related topic, would more money go the Russian developers if BOM was sold online only (ie not stream). I also have no problem with this either.
