Seriously though, whatever you think of the title I suggested, and I'm not saying it's great either (and I'm not trying defend it or 'sell' it here) , I think the logic and concept behind it is sound. I agree it doesn't really 'grab you' in the same sense that other less descriptive titles might, but I don't think it should be criticized for being too generic either. It's meant to be the overall name for a series of flight sims, not just one set in a particular kind of aircraft, or in the Battle of Britain, or even in WW2 (we already have a Korean War add-on announced). How is a more specific name going to look when the series gets as fleshed out as it probably will (rhetorical question)? Even something as generic as 'Combat Flight Simulator' might end up being too exclusive of the content that eventually gets included. BTW, it looked to me like the inclusion of that George Carlin video in your post was there to suggest AvSim+ is a more euphemistic title than 'Storm of War'. The thing is, AvSim+ isn't meant to describe the content of the sim, it's simply saying what the overall product is, it's an aviation sim. The plus bit could be considered euphemistic if you take it to refer only to the combat aspect of the content, but that's just one interpretation. The phrase 'storm of war' could actually be considered more euphemistic, even in the context of the original speech from which it was taken (ie. don't worry, those aren't bombs landing on your head, you're just in a storm of war...). Incidentally, I wouldn't call myself a fan, but I've watched a lot of George Carlin's video's in the past (including the one you posted) and agree with a lot of the things he said. Are you familiar with Bill Hicks' work, he had some strong things to say about advertizing (and other things) as well, in a similar sort of vein. Going to let this subject go now, have spent way too much time thinking about it.

Idea
I work in marketing and brand building and after 10 years as a virtual fighter pilot would do something like this:

Good job.
I'd suggest making the Storm-of-War text larger (and also move it to the left), and also make more out of the fact that this came from the creators of Il-2 (e.g, make this bolder too). I think the 'Air combat simulation by Maddox Games' should be slightly smaller as well I love the work though
