2. Re-release the sim with new packaging and perhaps a new title when it is genuinely release-worthy, so that new reviews & publicity are generated.
   • The people who already bought the sim & shelved it will then be reminded to dust it off, patch it off, and finally enjoy the finished product.
   • The people who were put off by the bad reviews will then be able to read good reviews and buy the game.

1st decision is done by the publisher I think which is UBI for most of the world.

2nd is coming with Battle of Moscow or other add-ons the same way it was with original IL-2 (Aces addon, Pacific addon, 1946, etc).

However with new level of complexity and without Oleg things will develop much slower this time I guess. It would be wise not expect any quick break-throughs but in a couple of years all current wishes would be fulfilled I am sure including drivable submarines with perfectly correct textures.
