It will probably be six months to a year to get what they have working properly with documentation. Depending on sales the sim the new series will constantly improve with completed features, new features, improve water, improved terrain, new clouds, new aircraft, new theaters for atleast another 10 to 15 years.

Well sounds good. Still, basically this is a confession that the game deliberately was released unfinished.

Have you ever seen any game being on top for 10 to 15 years? This is a small exaggeration to say the least. In 10 to 15 years we will probably plug in little wires into our brains and fly over Cliffs of Dover while dreaming

Original Il-2.

And the new engine is built to last at least as long as original one. In this sense it is good that it came out "unfinished". All finished games are created to make quick money for a publisher and are forgotten in 12 months.

RoF and ArmA for instance were also issued "unfinished" which means they had potential to grow.

We all know that "constant beta" is a trend in software development for almost 5 years already, which means that projects are created with growth in mind and this is just fantastic as it opens new never seen before horizons!

So the horrible sounds and the awful AI are placeholders after all? Good to know that!

Easier to say "Cliffs of Dover" game is a placeholder for "Storm of War" flight sim.

I hope they sell "plane packs" to supplement their income. That is what I would do, release some paid addons. I have no problem with that. Just keep the price decent.
