Happy V-E Day from everyone at 1C:Maddox Games!

Ah yes! IL2 - 2!

The 1C team have developed a tool that converts all IL2 planes into HD COD ones! .. and when they release all the new aircraft, they'll receive the Nobel prize as well.

Very well said Ilya. What IL-2 Sturmovik and IL-2 COD have done is realistically put you in the WWII air battle scenario, many people died in the real scenario. The simulations make you really think about what really happened and makes you think about the tremendous human losses from all sides during the war.

I have just finished reading Wing Commander 'Dizzy' Allen's account of the Battle of Britain in his excellent book 'Fighter Squadron'. During the battle, every week he lost a good friend, which he describes very passionately. Dizzy Allen flew Spitfires and our new Il-2 COD Spitfire really puts you in the 'hot seat' as he probably experienced it.

Good to see a Sturmovik pic and is the pic of the Kremlin a hint of a large Russian map?

What we do here will never do them justice, and thankfully most people playing our flight sims will never know what it’s like to fight a real war. If it just makes you think about everyone who has fought and lived or died through that war, to realize that they weren’t superhuman heroes, they were ordinary people just like the people you know today, good and bad, smart and stupid, brave and not so much, that perhaps will make you appreciate their sacrifice even more.

agree to that one, good post !

We will not release any more details or make any official announcements for at least a few more months.

If this game is not fixed there can be no future. why not concentrate on that for now.IMHO

... sorry baronWastelan, I dont want to offend you, but that is crap. I have not only spent the 50 Euros for the sim, I also bought a brand new pc for about 2500 euros all in all, only to be able to run this new sim that I was waiting for so long! Of course you can be angry and expect something better for your money !!!
If I would deliver such kludge to my boss I`d get fired !



(still I like the game and I also wait for further improvement of existing sim, rather than for a new addon)

I tend to agree Pluto. I read this a bit through the forum that people should have waited, read the reviews and decided then if they wanted to purchase the game. If everyone did this how could there be reviews. I purchased the game as soon as I saw it was coming out. I did this because I (yes, perhaps foolishly) trusted the myriad of things they said this game would be on release.
I still believe this will be the best sim but I have to support those that feel upset with their purchase. It's their right.
At the moment my comp is running CoD like a champion with only a few bugs here and there.
