I could be wrong, but I was under the impression it all got handed over to the BoS developers.

I like what I've been seeing so far of Battle Of Stalingrad, in a lot of ways it looks to me like a worthy successor to IL2:1946, but I have been wondering how much of it is being done from scratch and how much of it is being adapted from other sources (ie. BoM & '46).

That's not meant to be a put-down of the BoS developers, I'm impressed by their current and previous work and by the disciplined approach they're taking to making a sim that balances amount and quality of features with achievability of production deadlines. But I wonder if there will be a point at which they'll be met with the same sort of uncharted-territory type challenges that other developers have had to deal with.

I sort of hope they do have access to all the IL2 resources that the 1C company owns, in addition to the results of their own work on ROF, if those resources can be used to help keep the development of the new IL2 series moving along at a greater pace, and help them avoid the pitfalls and ground-breaking challenges others might have encountered.
