IL2: Forgotten

+1, I do not need a new patch for Il-2 now, but a new sim would make me happy...

I do understand the wait can be a bit irritating but there is a stable beta released.

The only thing missing is whatever it needs for online servers or whatever but it can be played online too.

IL2 is off Olegs scope and the only action concerning it is happening elswhere.

Lucky for us it is, there is a lot of room left in IL2 and it is being filled quite well indeed.

"...The only thing missing is whatever it needs for online servers or whatever but it can be played online too..."

Not quite true for mission writers. We are told that quite a few map changes have been made since 4.09beta1, and this may make coop/campaign writing a bit hit or miss. I.e. Will the missions still work when the final is released? A vexing question for those whose enthusiasm lies in that direction.

Replace the word "patch" with "free update" .

Right ......

I'm as pleased as everyone else about the support and updates both those purchased and those released as game patches that this game has had over the years...
But surely you should replace "free" with..."to ensure customer loyalty and maintain a viable client base ahead of our next commercial project in the absence of an expensive advertising campaign"

At this point I have doubts 409 final will ever be released.I would be happy enough if 1C just released the dedicated server patch so everyone online can move to 409.

IL2 History has shown that even when updates are released the whining still goes on and the I want and wheres this list gets longer, thats what makes these threads immaterial IMHO.

And Oleg is Santa btw

+1

When 4.09 is released (when, not if), the whining will just go on. "Why was plane x not included, why we havy plane y in the game", "[whatever]modelled wrong / undermodelled / ubermodelled", ...

And then crying for the next patch will start and we are at the same position, just without the chance of having a glimpse of what lies ahead by being able to play a beta. We've all been there before.
