I would like to remind my soft western comrades, that these are Russians, and as such don't require such cushy appointments as us effete Europeans and North Americans. Don't worry guys, they will do just as good a job with whatever they get, because they're tough.

Well said, BadAim. They've got talent too. Real talent can express itself through the crudest mediums but all the expensive hardware in the world doesn't make an artist out of a mere scientist. To save you nit-pickers the trouble, I checked it out and the word "scientist" is indeed the antonym of "artist."

Thanks for introducing us to the team Luthier. Oleg it's good to see back again.

My question is this. Was Oleg or any of the 1c crew flying on the Russian team that won the USL championship last season?

Well,in a sense,as we all know,"russian" means "low cost,but high performance"
but,it is still a question for me,
I think,broadly speaking,Meddox Team is an international one(just like many other studios)?Not a purely russian one?

Indeed, very insensitive of me, I should have said "Eastern European". That probably would have been much more representative.

I remember when I got the very first IL2 (the day it was released); It was half the size of CFS2 and had twice the content and performance and it even looked better! I said man them Russians write some tight code! I think always having the biggest and the best can easily contribute to the sloppiness we see in the big companies.

And I'll bet these guys (especially the older ones) appreciate the freedom to be creative a lot more than many of the rest of us could.

Well said, really the office looks just how I had imagined it, a little run down and post-communist-ish.

Just don't let the authorities find out about your capitalist operation...at least not before the release date
