With the release of the SDK, it will not only expand the IL-2 series, but some in the free flight community might prefer flying over IL-2 series terrain than Microsoft Flight terrain as both series expand. Maybe at some point drivable tanks might draw many in the Tank sim community to the FMB and maps of the IL-2 series.
The future could be bright, or die, but the community certainly doesn't need any Debbie Downers casting a pawl over the development at this critical juncture.

Wrong ....we need the Sim to work for 95% of people without crashing. Then we need historical FMs, a AI that allows single player to not be a total wash out.
Then it might start getting some good reviews and word of mouth.
Then we might start seeing more than 50 people playing CLOD across the world.
