And I never understood the logic, how whining and bashing Oleg could improve the game, speed up development time or increase popularity of a game.

So, I'm very glad DT picked up the baton and give Oleg time to concentrate on SoW and I'm also glad to see life is coming back. Definitely looking forward to the future of both titles!

There definitely IS much to crow about in the IL2 community these days. 4.09m released by TD, UI1.2 released on the other side of the tracks and gobs of content in all of it collectively.

I'm still holding out for the "next" update to bridge everything into one massive, capable WWII flight sim.

Should be another month or so...

I never had any doubt that this sim would survive.. I was surprised and greatly pleased that 1C embraced and supported limited modding by a chosen team... but it is better than nothing at all.. FC's QMB+ was a great add on.. and now, knowing that he is a part of DT I can only wait with baited breath because I know that whatever they come up with it will be good.. This sim is the bee's knees... I never ever thought that I would still be so entralled 7 years later when I first booted up IL2 in the spring of 02..

1. We have lots to be thankful for. And the game still is continued to be patched and lovingly played. Oleg n team are watching Team D do their biz.

2. 8 years still is going. That's even longer than some of the service lifetimes of some fighters in the game. The old code has shown flexibility to adjust to current needs of the fans.

3. Il-2 set a standard in WW 2 flight sims that (imho) and is in a class all by itself

4. new people keep coming in (like me)

5. community is huge and dedicated.

6. still lots of theaters and room for improvement

7. SOW BOB series will continue this legacy
