Our genre is already very small. Not buying the best WW2 air combat simulator just because you cannot push a few levers and twist some knobs is just petty.

And childish.

OK, I was a little pissed...of course I will buy the release, probably 3 of them, me, my son, and a friend who I think would enjoy it very much...please excuse me Oleg, I quess that I mis-understood your past words on this subject, my error

Damned if he do, damned if he dont.


U should be ashamed of your selfes.


Ungratefull childishnes (is that a word?)is a gross understatment.

I reckon Oleg knows best what's worth spending his time on and what isn't he's proved that with il2 - I've played that thousands of hours and still am playing it - that's down to it being a wonderfully entertaining sim, yes I've bought other flightsims - some with clickable cockpits that have an half hour start up procedure if you want it, but I return to il2 again and again. I, like most people here, can't wait for SOW:BOB (or whatever its finally called) its the most anticipated software out there as far as I'm concerned and what I've seen and read from Oleg here only fuels that anticipation more.

And what a guy Oleg is, its gone 1 .00 AM in Moscow and he's still here answering questions with undying patience when it comes to 'clickable cockpits'. Build yourselves a switch box its much more fun, and please please don't hold off buying what will be the greatest flightsim out there just because you cant flick virtual cockpit switches for an age to get the engine fired up, just pretend your groundcrew prepped it !

I remember quite well the debate about clickeble cockpits and Oleg said they wouldnt do it and here he is saying "we`v done the most important parts clickable", i can only assume they did it because people asked for it, to be nice, because lets face it, they wouldnt lose sales if they simply didnt, would they.


Well, what can one say really?

Don't get me wrong. I only played the demo of WoP a few times, and I'm not saying it is better or best etc.

However, photographic textures can add a degree of clutter and randomness that you don't get otherwise, and houses placed on that texture in the correct places look naturally spaced, giving towns an authentic appearance. Roads have varied textures, rather than being uniform ribbons of grey. Gardens can be seen.


Personally I find this imperfect screenshot pleasing to look at. From WoP:

Flying houses ? LOL !
