Maybe this is partly what Oleg is trying to achieve again; that shock of recognition of a flight-sim that is light years ahead of the opposition. I don't mind waiting for something so good.

I remember those days well..."WarBirds", I had so much fun with that game (its hard to believe).

I remember the first time I played the IL-2 demo, it was a revelation...

Up till then I had been flying ACES HIGH, RED BARON, EUROPEAN AIR WAR, WWII FIGHTERS, B-17 II, AND ROWAN'S BOB. But IL-2 just captured my imagination.

There was a mission in it, a P-39 had to take off in a thunderstorm, and attack a Ju-88 which was making a raid on its field.

The amazing combination of the weather, the state of the art graphics, and the flight model just blew me away.

I am expecting the same excitement when I first play STORM OF WAR, BATTLE OF BRITAIN.
