Back to the Eastern Front!

I remember the back in 2001, walking through a COMPUSA store and coming across a title called "Il2 Sturmovik" with the aircraft in the pictures on the front cover.

I thought my eyes were going bad. At the time I believed that must be the only guy in the USA that read about the Eastern front and knew what an Il2 was. I don't think that I ever could imagine someone would build a simulator based on the Eastern front.

Couldn't wait to get home and fly it! I was even more amazed at the "feel of flight" and all the little details of the engine.

MS CFS II got uninstalled right after that - and even though I tried to reinstall and use it again over the years - it always was missing that incredible "feel of flight" that caused me to spend over a decade flying this sim.

Thanks for helping make my day one of hope, and fond memories Blacksix....

My experience is eerily similar Gunny, and I can't wait to get back to the snow covered wastes to do some serious hurting to those beautifully modeled German vehicles.

I guess everybody remembers where the IL-2's soft spot is? That's right, keep your revi's on those oil coolers. One 15mm hit should do the trick.

As I remember it from the previous "BoM" shots they said they where done in the "current" engine that we use too... It makes sense as the guys doing new objects and landscapes have been working on their stuff for quite a while - and in the mean time the 3D engine guys try to fix the engine so every other build is probably rather shaky and incomplete. They would naturally like to have the old engine that is "stable" in single player at least

Re. the washed out effect of white winter paint, I guess that the "weathering" effect is tuned to wash out progressively the light white overpaint, isn't it?
