I think everyone is excited about the possibilities of competent developers taking a turn with IL2 and fixing,fixing,fixing.

It maybe frustrating to you after you vent your frustrations,etc. and the developer seems to be giving you the brush off. This is just the beginning of the improvements to Il2, which are forthcoming.

Facts are, historically the Ubi boards were constantly in a flux over all manner of things people wanted fixed and were very vocal about those fixes. Builidng a CFS is no small task, and with all the aircraft and graphic additions to preserve interest in the sim the developer just looked away on many issues.

People want more stuff, and that is the real issue. If users would just back off all the constant barrage of requests for a new aircraft, object,etc. and let the developer work steadily work through issues with what we have... that would be a best course of action.

My gosh, we are a spoiled lot. Go over to BOB II WOV and there are only a handful of flyable planes and they are constantly tweaking those few aircraft FM and DM. In IL2 we have how many flyable aircraft, and how much time and human resources are available to spend on all the various aircarft models?

I've so often thought why doesn't Oleg stop with all the new stuff and work with what he's got. Don't get me wrong, I think Oleg and his team have done alot with FM and DM issues. Yet, they haven't worked through all the fixes a myriad of users continue to turn up.

As I recall, I built missions and campaigns on the Kuban map for appx 2years and that was all I did. That was back in the Forgotten Battles days, and I never left the Kuban for over 2 years of IL2 enjoyment. There has always been so much in this sim to keep renewing interest.

Arguing with the DT about a zillion fixes you think necessary maybe early, afterall we don't even have their first patch release. Incremental changes in the IL2 will be the way to go, fixing stuff that has priority should be the way to go at it.

I always hated the big frame bars in the 190 and my thoughts were shared by many at Ubizoo, but Oleg was set on those bars. LOL

I'm for talking about things that DT can do, but I sure think at this point we should give them the latitude to work on the issues we bring up they are interested to fix. IMO, arguing with the DT, not a good thing. We need to give them encouragement. Afterall, most of users have written off the IL2 and had no hopes for it, at least on an approved basis.
