Regarding the posts saying feeling cheated or lied to, etc, don't judge the game until it comes out. I'll bet you if you have the system that matches the specs and a joystick, the IL-2 COD experience will be awesome.
I always wondered what happened if I ran into Il-2 way back in 2001 and now I get that chance.
Guys and gals, even if the game has low expectations in your standards, look at what Oleg n Luthier and everyone on their team, team d, has done to help make things better.
Don't be a product of today's convenience / cynicism society. Make the world a better place and smile & be thankful this game is being worked on by dedicated and intelligent people. Be the virtue of patience and wait, for it will be rewarding.
And if not, you can always return the game and go back to ROF or IL-2 1946, MS Flight, Red Baron 3D, Ace Combat 10 (or whatever they are at), or WOP. But I feel that this will not be the case.

Lovely posting Hiro, thx!
And I can tell you it was a huge thrill back in 2001! - I followed Il-2 since the earliest screenies Oleg posted, and waiting for it was excruciating. Then, one fine day a gaming magazine came with a cd with the demo. THEN I had to borrow my brother's PC to even try it on a computer that could run it. And, then, the magic moment of sitting in the P-39 on a rainy Soviet airfield, about to take off and intercept a couple of Ju-88's.
After three failed take-off attempts (due to skidding, not gaining height, and slamming into the countryside because of torque) I was totally sweaty and giddy with excitement in the knowledge that finally a sim had arrived which approximated the feeling of WWII flight I had read so much about since early adolescence. Finally the time had come to kill the nazi enemy! - After which the Ju-88's unceremoniously dispatched me with a well-aimed burst from their rear gunners, of course.
If you are young and a student with lots of time on your side, then you are a lucky guy and I can only wish you a great coming-of-age with CoD. As a jaded older guy, with work and life digging into my gaming time, I can already feel now that it won't be the same as in 2001.
What saddens me is to read all the (obviously very young) whiners in this very forum. The ones that attract attention with rude criticism and then keep coming back and coming back and coming back for just one more inane worthless question again and again. It seems they feel absolutely no wonder and no excitement at soon being able to play a new-gen combat sim. Just incessant moaning over absolutely ridiculous little issues that only they themselves care about. Can I tell you a bigger problem than not having dynamic weather or a dynamic campaign or the right colour green fields or sufficient hedgerows or drivers at the wheels of ground vehicles at release? - Not having a combat flight sim at all! - And it is not as if it is some shabby Microsoft job in the offing. An obviously ground-breaking piece of programmiong is heading our way, so much is clear.
But, really, to be so young and then just be so overcome with anger and moaning and grief because of non-existent issues with a flight sim coming out... What gives? If they are not happy and bursting with excitement now, when will they ever be happy?
