A request for more features to make IL-2 a better game, not just better software.

So all the answers regarding coop are all fine and good, but for those who cannot play uniterrupted for a prolonged period of time, if you have a family for example ( and there are many of us who do ), the most important thing is a comprehensive DCG.
This adds infinite replayability and that this is missing is more than sad.
Just like the OP, I never had any real technical issues with the sim, it simply runs and looks great, bought it upon the NA release, aware of all the complaints, but they never materialised for me luckily.
However due to the laughable single player content the game is shelved right now. And yes I am aware of all the community efforts to bring a DCG to us, downloaded two, very nice and appreciated efforts, but not the same as a real officially supported, comprehensive DCG.

This is my biggest "problem" at the moment. Online is fine and all but there is no paus key, when my baby daughter starts to scream after waking up because of something and I'm in the middle of a dogfight on ATAG or something it all just falls apart. That's why I prefer offline gaming, I decide over the time I have.
