did 1c ever consider making a civilian flight sim to replace the msfs gap

The IL-2 game engine was initially designed to evolve with technology over the next ten years or so, unfortunately the engine can't start evolving until its finished, and it appears it may be done, before its finished. lol

Yes, I think is done too and either there is no one left to admit it or we are being ignored/neglected.

I think its very close to being done, but I don't think its done yet. If they stop deleting negative speculation in these forums, then I will know for sure its done. Unless the moderators deletion of the threads are unsolicited, but when that happens they usually just "lock" the threads not totally delete them.

It has been only 3 weeks or so, lol...don't worry, it will be announced

If anyone makes a new civvie sim these days it'll be ED with their DCS engine, not 1C.

Define "very near future".

I know, I know, but the way they walked away from the simple problem of FMs in CoD has left many of us staunch supporters feeling betrayed. There was no attempt to amend the Release Candidate for some of the simplest problems. The quick release on Steam and the deliberate suppression of speculation has inevitably made people suspicious.

Who was the moderator that deleted IvanK's thread? Perhaps he could explain. To avoid infractions, that's a suggestion, not a demand.

Yes total agree.

But they are not there yet. P-51 from DCS is FSX with guns - but there is nothing for your P-51 to do except fly around and shoot at the ground because DCS world is modern jet sim where P-51 gets blown down from the sky by G2A missiles and radar AAA and jets and choppers with A2A missiles. You can blow up trucks with WWII rockets, but not main battle tanks! You can fly P-51 vs AI P-51 but the AI P-51 does not understand laws of physics, and you can fly online P-51 vs other P-51 pilots but good luck finding a server with this, I have tried a couple of times only one server can I find, and usually no one on it when I log in. Anyway how much fun is P-51 vs P-51 online - once you have done a couple of times, it is yawwwwwn.

They will get there though, I think P-51 is just first step. Then then need bigger maps, different theatres, different aircraft. I am faithful they will.

When DCS add a FW190, perhaps the D9, or even a late 109, I'll buy it. Maybe then we could get some online interest.

Does it lend itself to any kind of campaign or combat scenario? MIssion building? Map object placement?

Yes but only can do with maps and objects of lock on era, not WW2
