A final message from Luthier

[Ataros]

Hi, Ilya,
can you share your future plans already? Is it true that you work on a Korea sim?

Do you know what happens to CLoD engine? Can 1C license it cheap if someone finds an investor (say for a Korea sim or a sort of WWII Online clone)?

Whom modders(e.g. TD) should talk to if they want to mod CloD: Jason or 1C?

Sorry for many questions but I think 1C made a mistake(again) switching to an older DX9 engine with poor AI optimization. Another year of work on CloD engine could make it perfect. Hope you or Oleg can do this one day.

+1 to all of that!

Hi Ilya,

As being a simulation fan not a gamer, I am very very tearful.

Thank you for your great efforts, for sleepless nights.

If it is possible, please reunite with Oleg and make a kickstarter project.

Only legends can make a decent Flight Simulation.

Best wishes to you and Oleg Maddox.

Let me guess, you're a fulltime developer by profession?

Is it true that Ilya relocated to the US? EDIT: because you seem to be more informed then most of us.

If so, then I'd hope he'd start having some communication with some people on this forum......

Thanks Luther .. we'll still have that night in Paris ... errrr, I mean, I still love CLOD and IL2, they were/ARE great sims.

Still flying CLOD .. into the sunset.

So long Luthier. Thank you for all you have done for the community and the fantastic series which is IL2. I hope you have as much fun with your future endeavors as you did with IL2.

Take care buddy ~S~

I am not informed, just read some rumors on ATAG, SimHQ and sukhoi.ru forums. One rumor said Luthier moves to Asia to work on Korea sim for a different publisher. Another one said he is in the USA now.

Do you know of any reports of him wearing a handcuffed attache case...could be the best thing for the US since Operation Paperclip...all kidding aside, Korea would be cool

It's a bad new

I just want to know what happened with that? Sorry I don't have the game yet, but it's coming...
