Does anyone remember Rowan's two big sims Mig Alley and BoB? All we need now is for Oleg to announce that KOTS are also using his engine and that would complete the trilogy, anyone remember Rowan's Flying Corps?

Nationalities...pffft all sides have their own interesting histories imho. My prejudice is much narrower. "Must have props", now thats my required criteria.

I would imagine most of the members of this forum are prop heads, but would buy any good historical combat flight sim. I know I bought Lomac flew it once and thought this is very good but immediately went back to IL-2. I think I have every half decent combat flight sim made in the last 10 years.

I know the server I fly on created a second server with jets and alot of the regulars moved, but most soon migrated back to the prop server.

I'm sure Oleg has put extensive thought into where to start his new series and BOB is the most logical starting point if your going to create paid add-ons for the whole WW2 air conflict. The Battle of France is much less known and will probably be done by a third party. Most of the map required for the BoF should be available on the existing BOB map, depending on how far it extends east into France and Begium.

The Med will probably be the next paid add-on, then its a toss-up from there, depending on Map size, aircraft required, as the rest of the theaters basicly overlap.

Map Size...how does it affect frame rate? Does it make a difference? Does the computer load the whole map at once, then display objects on the map as you get closer? Is it possible to create a map of the whole Med considering the amount of objects and detail in Olegs maps? Or do you think it will be a group of maps detailing only parts of the Med?
