Well, it's lucky that we have the F1 premiere in Melbourne tomorrow to look forward to...

Seriously, the game was released the 25:th of march in the CIS a year ago - why not celebrate that with a patch that fixes the game? Then we are ready to forgive this year of pain

Besides, I "rediscovered" IL2 version 4.11 after a discussion here in the forum last week. Every time I go back to the old beauty I realize that waiting a few more weeks is not that much of a problem. We have 200+ of beautiful aircraft and maps all over the world with rock solid MP. It's really not that far from the Grail accept that the CEM and visuals of the cockpits in CloD has made us picky... The problem is that many of us have put IL2 on the shelf waiting for the magic patch, which makes the pain worse than it has to. Fire up Hyperlobby and forget the childish attitude of the devs in Moscow that don't understand that people have a right to be really disappointed with a game that for the last six months cannot run for more than 30-60 minutes in multi player without crashing... And MP is what many of us live for in computer simulations as fighting an AI gets boring quite fast.

As the situation has developed here lately I have even started dreaming of Gaijin making some shock surprise out of World of Planes with a decent FM? They claim to work on an improvement of the FM with more realism. I really start to get scared that MG is going belly up soon, so what else is there to dream of? That P-51 in DCS? Will take ages before we have a plane set that makes it compete with anything... 777 Studios stopping their mass production of $10 WWI kites and going 20 years forward? Not in a couple of years...

It feels like the dawn of WWII flight simulations is finally going over into pitch black night

Because, and here's an outside of the box thought... because it's not ready yet.

Agreed... The Il2 with mods can be a real tension buster.

If it were being released today with all the mods, and there was no COD it would be a best seller for sure.

Fact is, we are all wanting and waiting for something even better.

The AI is improved in IL2, big step forward. A zillion aircraft and maps.

The FMB is improved as well, not as good as it could be, but still better.

So, before you waste your time whining, complaining and expressing your anxieties about COD take your positive energy to IL2 you won't be disappointed.

I've refrained from posting on this lack of update subject. And I gotta say standing off on the side and watching both the behavior of the forumites and the devs has me beside myself.

I'm not a hate boy, or a fan boy, I like the game but I know it needs work. But this whole argument lies squarely on the devs here.


If you aren't going to release updates every week, DON'T RELEASE THEM AT ALL. All you have done is create a Friday culture that just leads to disappointment when you do not release anything, and the current state of the game just exacerbates the anger of lack of info.

But to have a post from the admin saying do not whine or complain about this. You do realize that these are your customers right? The people that keep you afloat? the ones that make or break you?


Maddox you have been great up until the last 2 weeks, but you have lost a lot of credibility as professionals, with how you are treating your consumers.

Just my 2 cents, I love the game, and look forward to playing it without crashing. Cheers!
