From experience in the workplace I know how hard it is to release software. I totally understand that part. But damn, this is just getting sad.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still playing and enjoying IL-2, but the flightsim market is as good as dead, especially the combat flight sim market. What do we have out there for "modern" flight sims? MS flight Sim X and X-Plane?

When is the last time we got a good combat flight sim?

Maybe Im just frustrated with the wait.

Why? It's going to be a trade off.

SOW:BoB looks awesome and I will readily snap it up, however.... I almost don't want it to come out any time soon.

Once it does, IL2 '46 is as good as buried. We'll lose ALL those awesome planes and be stuck in like 5 crap planes with HUGE distances to travel (by god I hope they bump time compression up to like 32x for those slow ass planes).

The variety will be gone. Maps, planes, and what can be done as a result of those (to say nothing of carrier ops), all gone.

I'm not sure all the stuff we're going to be getting (and the system upgrades we're sure to have to do) will be worth the loss.

They can take their sweet old time. Let SOW:BoB take as long as Duke Nukem 4-ever.
