I did ask that question on Sukhoi.ru (using Google translate ). Blacksix answered there that as the game was not yet announced he could not answer if it would be released as a merged install...

This is my number one question also - if it's not going to be released as a merged install I would be very sad. Oleg said that they where going to use the same addon strategy with CoD as IL2 when he was still in command and it would be very odd to abandon that strategy IMO... Still, it would be nice to get it confirmed!

My No1 question as well....

If a merged install isn't possible I would kinda loose interest in the series and this would be the biggest letdown for me personally. I mean I don't want to have 2/3/4 or more different Flight simulations with the same core on my pc and when I want to play a Spit I have to exit the game and start the old CoD which will be no longer supported.
The possibility to merge all addons like the old il2 style was THE factor for the great success of this game imho.

Just imagine how it would be like if all il2 expansions were stand alones. There would never be this strong community...

Take a look at your CloD directory. There you'll find a folder called parts with a sub-folder named CORE and one named BOB. Which means the engine is geared towards modular additions. You can now stop panicking.

Also take a close look at your controls set up in the GUI.

Lots of things there that have no relevance to BoB or the Ost Front.

Relax and enjoy the ride.

Guess you are right but an official confirmation would calm everyone down...
Anyway I hope for the best and will definitely enjoy the ride to come

No. We have not announced the "Battle of Moscow". I can not say anything about it. No details were not disclosed. Sorry.

I have few questions:
- will the dynamic stall be implemented in the Flight Model?
- will the maximum altitude of the planes (ceiling) be raised to the historical values of ~10-11000 m ? Today it is 7-8000 m for most planes, and much less for the Fiat G.50
- will the performances of the poor G.50 be upgraded to be closer to the real historical values? The G.50 maximum speed today is ~350 kmh at sea level against 407 kmh found in books and online references. The G.50 ceiling in game is some 5000 m, against 10500 m found in various sources.
- will the UBI intro .wmv video issue be finally corrected? Today it clocks down the ATI cards to 2D-power saving mode, and gives really poor performances to the users that do not delete or rename it. That is most of ATI users I guess.

- will the ghost dots issue be corrected? Today in online servers you see far contacts which disappear when you close in.
- will the GUI be optimized ? Today it's quite clumsy and not practical.
- will the track recording be improved? Today the main issues are: need to exit from flight to start recording, need to manually type a track file name, need to exit again from flight to stop the video, frequent crashes in the procedure, frequent crashes when trying to record an avi from a track.
- will the damage of a radiator by bullets produce a damage to the engine? Today you get the message "radiator leak" but the engine continues to run.

I wrote down the questions in the list of number 2

Don't agree with that kind of logic, my friend

Il-2 Sturmovik Cliffs Of Dover: BoB -> ok. so far.
Il-2 Sturmovik Cliffs Of Dover: BoM -> ?

"Storm of War" would have been definately the better choice.

Whatever happened to the rolling stock and locomotives you were working on Foo'bar?

Cheers, MP

[Foo'bar]

They will be implemented when time is left for doing it. At the moment there are more important things to do first.

Hey Black 6.

Appreciate you keeping us aware of what is going on.

Has the patch for Cliffs of Dover been put on hold until after the release of the Battle for Moscow ad-on?
