Personally I dont care about money spent (OK I must care a bit since Im living in a xxxxxxxxxx where the mans work worth nothing). Its...I was expecting an improvement (comparing to original iL2). Currently I cant even play this sim (online) without performance issues and I dont have an ancient PC. Even if they succeed in optimisaiton task we would probably still need to "deal" with ghost trees, too vivid colors on landscape, small maps, lack of content and features, lack of proper communications (currently wer deadling with investigations on sukhoi.ru and babelfish translators).....I hope for the best...
