Who is Luthier???
 

I know what some of you are thinking right now "what an idiot" :grin:

Like mentioned before I am new to IL2, and this is not ment to be disrespectful.. I am very impressed with what they have created, even though its not perfect... Yet;)

i have just read the ingame credits and i don´t see Luthier´s name anywhere.

Is he the sequel to Oleg Maddox?

Luthier is Ilya Shevchenko, the lead development producer for the game. He was the main man behind Pacific Fighters, the PE-2 and Manchuria addons as well I think for IL-2. :)

So Ilya lives in California?! Assumed he lived in Moscow. Maybe the daily commute to the office explains things :grin:.

Luthier is a name that in English generally refers to the devil before being cast from heaven, although this is not the original meaning of the term. In Latin, from which the English word is derived.

Wow, that´s new to me. The word luthier came from French because in the XVI Century the makers of lutes were called luthiers. Today is applied worlwide for artisans who make musical instruments by hand. By the way, I´m a professional luthier (classical guitars).,

Cheers,

Sorry I didn't have my glasses on. You're right. I thought it said Lucifer. My bad.

Not quite, although many on these forums may prefer your definition :grin:

from wiki

A luthier (play /ˈluːtiər/ loo-ti-ər)[1] is someone who makes or repairs lutes and other string instruments.

Lucifer is what you were thinking of.
