Unfortunately, no good news.
Publisher thinks that it is not commercially reasonable to create, QA, and release title update for X360.
Releasing PS3 update has not significant impact to sells, and it costs much. DLC was also not very popular (not popular at all).
In addition, I was told to communicate with gamers only via publisher's PR department - that's why I am being quiet silent.
Nothing we can do here with X360 version itself - we've already funded PS3 update from our own pockets (and we do not even benefit from potential sells increase).

Think they're missing the point that selling a game thats incomplete/with bugs is not a good look. The patch was a chance to make that right and by not patching they're sullying the Il2 Brand. I don't believe its entirely the publishers fault as the game was released in an incomplete state (possibly due to pressure from the publisher).
And now we know for certain there will be NO german cockpits.
I won't say I'll never buy another Il2 game again because they've got us over a barrel as they're the only ones doing WW2 flight sims for console but I will think twice and certainly won't buy until I know
for certain the Axis aircraft have cockpit views.
As for the DLC not selling - it was overpriced and it didn't have German cockpits! And I still bought it anyway!
