Hi Evgeny - thanks for your response

I for one would like information as to why UBI and 1C have forums for the same simulator. If you feel this is not good to have in open forum, please let me know, delete this post and we could take it to private messages and such if needed.
As you likely know, many of us have been playing this IL-2 for some years. Also many of us very much like Oleg Maddox, the developer with IL-2/1946, and his perceived vision of where flight simulation is going, in particular the much anticipated Battle of Britain: Storm of War. I feel that many would benefit from any information that might be posted regarding the UBI-1C relationship as it pertains to us users and this simulation. I understand that said information would be forthcoming if it were available, but obviously there has been some time since any meaningful updates on this next generation simulation. Any information regarding this situation as you might imagine would be very much appreciated by the community that has developed around this simulation since 2001.
Also regarding your avatar- being a graphic artist by trade I hope you are not offended by my comment. I just was thinking that if you increased contrast by 10 to 20% it might be more appealing. Just my opinion Sir.
Thanks in advance for any information, and regards-
Triad
