There's probably at least a year of work left on it to make it great. We could have make something like an Il-2 level dynamic campaign in a few months, but I don't want to do that at all. I want it to be ground-breaking and worthy of the rest of the game.

Sounds good to me! It's encouraging to hear that you not only want to make a dynamic campaign generator but also want to make if far exceed what we've seen before. I put countless hours in various campaigns from the old series but there is always room for improvement. I think a robust, well-made dynamic campaign generator on par with, or exceeding, the quality of work put into IL2CoD will be a joy to experience.

That looks great! Just add some Spitfires (or make a separate RAF edition so consumers have a choice) and it'd be perfect.

It's these little chats you take time for that keep a lot of us on your and Oleg's side. You are not some monolithic software giant company shoving out new, flashy, yet shallow content just to sell box art. The way that you and Oleg share with us makes me, and I'm sure most vets of the sim, feel like we are actually part of this grand adventure, not just customers picking up a fast food lunch at the drive through window.
Carry on just as you are.
The BlitzPigs, and our friends in the sim eagerly await the release.
S!
