A final message from Luthier

[major_setback]

Thanks Ilya for 2 wonderful sims.

I have flown with the Il2 series since the start, joining the forums a couple of years after that. Scince then both of these passtimes have taken up nearly all of my free time. At one point I was flying several hours each day and dreaming only of how to outwit other pilots! It sounds a bit crazy, I know, but that was how it was. It was so dangerously captivating it almost ruined my social life and mental well being. That's how good it was!

Thanks for bringing back my childish passion for play.

It's been a great time, and will continue to be. The game isn't dead, it just won't reproduce anymore . It's sad, but these things happen. As it is youv'e presented us with some wonderful things. They are muched loved and you should be a very proud father.

CoD - I was hoping that the worst was over, and that from now on development would move steadily forward. I really had my hopes up that this would continue the same way the original game did.

I can't thank you enough for saving us with the Final patch. I'm just sorry it wasn't enough to save you.

Thank the entire team from me. I know that they have contributed enormously and that it is only because of their marathon effort that CoD has been able to be saved.

BTW is a little Korean War sim too much to ask for?


Keep flying high. And good luck.... no... Great Luck!
