After a day of flying IL2/46...

Even if it's unplayable for the first few months on my current rig, I'm still getting it on release in the US or earlier if I can figure a way out, Just to take pretty screenshots or make some movies. Support the team so the saga can continue. so far I've spend about $200 on the whole il2 series. That's 9 years of sim fun and only god know's how many hours of entertainment. Say 2 hours per day 5 days a week for 9 years. That's 4.27 dollar cent per hour of entertaiment. Very good deal, I think. Even if CoD is a turd at first Oleg's team will work it out. I still give them the bennefit of the doubt and will support them by downloading it from Steam since you need it to play the game anyway.

My specific memories of the Il-2:1946 release was not being able to get a copy for months, because nobody stocked it. I eventually had to mail order it from some company that listing things in British Pounds. I live in Los Angeles. I have nothing against GB, I found it utterly surreal to, on the US West Coast, to have to mail order a Russian game from Britain. I'm trying to think if there are three points on the globe more remote from each other.
