I just downloaded it now and did one test flight. Apart from SLI not showing any signs of life, i've noticed changes in gun fire - more red flashes, smoke looks more realisitc.
I still have faith Russians produce quality work. Zvezda produces the best plastic soldiers i've seen, the original IL2 is still a classic and .. and the Lada Niva was well ... errr .. umm Zvezda produce some kick-ass stuff!
