Thanks. Albeit I highly doubt that we will have any news from 1C in the next months (or years ...).

I do have one very serious suggestion to the folks at 1C when they are ready ( whenever that is...) to release BoM : They hire Thomas at Desastersoft ( or someone like him,)to design the default campaigns.I think we can all agree that the ones released with the original CloD were both short & sketchy,whereas some of the third party ones we now see are quite well designed ,with interesting action on the ground as well as in the air-better menus too.Having purchased both Wick vs.Dundas & yesterday the Galland Fighter Aces campaign,I can only praise the developer for really thinking through the potential of CloD and using it to the full.IC & Ubisoft have a history of bring new elements to a flight sim ( think Pacific Fighters & 1946 ,) but not really exploiting these new aircraft & maps with anything very interesting in camapigns especially or single missions.To me they look very much like an after thought,but put a guy like Thomas on it & boy you might really have something!)

I agree and the third party campaigns have peaked my interest in flying again. I think the developers have the right priority, concentrating more on providing a decent FMB so the community who may have a more historical background, imagination, and flair to build the missions and campaigns. A mission/campaign builder in the development two or three years ago would have a hard time considering the state of the game engine they had to work with. There are still AI, and FMB problems etc, that need to be addressed in the Sequel so they can be applied to BOB campaigns and missions.
