Yes, IL2 is a ten year old game. I am of the mind that says, if a game has been going strong for 10 years and only strengthened as time has passed, it will only continue to do so in the future. Flight Sims are not like other game genres, something better doesn't hit the shelves every two months. The players range a very wide age group, people who started flight sims at age 14 will most likely still have an interest at 54. Unless the successor to CloD is as multi cultured in scope as IL246 is today, I will still be flying IL2 for a while after. I really think history will list IL246 as possibly the greatest combat flight sim ever made, but only time will tell. Even allowing for the fact that the political environment in the community would give the folks up in Washington, DC a run for their money, all in all everyone has the same goal in mind, for people to enjoy the game. That right there is what will keep us together!!!
