Or even better, as once again you appear to be much better in the know then everybody else, start your own Sim company to make us all happy in regards to WW2 Simming.

Il-2 was a cornerstone in combat simulation,but it's still a rough diamond.
I dunno whether you use modded versions of it now,but the guys tha work on it on their free time did wonders with it, applying modifications that are relatively simple but add so much to the game longevity!
Oleg & co. delivered an incredible product,but there never was an immersive GUI, FMs were rough and incomplete as well (no flexing airframes,no wake turbulence,approximate ground handling and behaviour to name a few..) and graphics have always been a bit dull.
It still managed to be the best combat sim product,but merely because there wasn't much competition in the way.
I have a full time job that keeps me busy enough,but I confess I'd like to take on such venture, the only paramount condition is to select the right team,because working on this is a labour of love, and a leader must be able not only to manage,but motivate and provide a view both for his employees and his customers.
