Sir Winston Churchill: We Shall Fight On The Beaches (extract)
June 4th 1940

"... I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our Island home, to ride out the STORM OF WAR, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone.


Lets be honest, even mr. Churchill new that the great flight sim is upon us any time now.....

I would not worry too much on how your new series will be called in the west. From what you have so far has still gained a lot of press. Did you get to see any of the ads that were on the Discovery Channel when Pacific Fighters came out? It was perfect because the Dogfight series was very popular as well. I was in a Squadron who was being split apart due to the fact that people were saying that FB was far better than CFS2. The old guard did not want to give up the Pacific theater of Operations and others wanted your "New" sim.
So when these started to appear

That was the ticket to at least 15 more sales because it was based on the PTO. The same can be said for the Battle of Britain. I think as long as you get the message out that it is a new series and not just a new game then that will be your hook. Our word of mouth will help as well. I always called Forgotten Battles by that name, PF by its name. The big plus was when I found out I could put FB + AEP and PF together. The shorter the name is easier to be conveyed in stores and on forums. Just look at why fighter jocks have nicknames. It is easier to reference in the air than Lt.JG John Q. Puplic. So "Cash Money" is a nickname everybody would know. PS. keep this in mind when thinking of all new theaters and maps please. WWII was epic and every nation who fought wants to be represented. Hey today is Veterens day here. S! all.

I believe it will eventually. It may not be for some time though. Just using the past add ons as an example. So my guess is just a guess. I still want an official Italy, Romania, Yugoslavia, Greece and southern France. I want a lot ...... Si!

There are issues with laws in the United States which prevent the depiction of some Pacific Theatre equipment. The word is that a return to the Pacific is only likely when these laws get overturned.

However, there may be 3rd party addons.

1C works for me. The product's name is ultimately defined by the quality of the product so "1C: Battle of Britain" would work I'm sure. Anything that is easy to remember and that connects Oleg's reputation to the product is what I'm suggesting.

LOL It's funny, and very memorable, but perhaps too comical for a serious sim? I'm not sure.

Not so much a law, as much as it was the a$$clowns at Northrop Grumman wanting massive royalties to include their aircraft, and aircraft made by companies they have bought out over the years. Before video games were the cash cows they are now they didn't care about their aircraft being used (See sims from the 90's like Pacific Air War). Ubi and Oleg didn't want to shell out the money, so they didn't include it.

Northrop Grumman is a huge monster of a company, and they have the legal means to make sure anyone who uses their "Intellectual/Real Property" wish they didn't. Plus they probably own a ton of politicians as well, so you know it's going to go their way in court.
