^well said nearmiss...
and in the spirit of getting happy, I thought id share this...
the other day whilst reading all these threads about technical "issues/non-issues" and "release date madness" I paused to think about the game on a whole... and I realized something.
For the first time I will fly the planes in the game just to purely
fly them... I've never done that with the old IL2 or any of the expansions. I've always had to have a combat mission set up... the act of just flying was never really enough... But this game I feel will be so detailed and have so much character with each plane that I will surely find myself just "taking one up" and enjoy the view and the experience.
just like the vid a couple weeks back... a tigermoth in the evening sky... i cant wait.
I have a feeling this game will mean more to me than IL2 ever did.
