Been a while....

Didn't Oleg not really care much for the PF addon? Heard that he didn't really want to do it as his interest was more for the eastern front but was kind of pushed in way as it was seen more of a business move?

Seems so. Its a shame too cos Pacific is kinda a semi-forgotten war, and when you sit on carrier deck, you can see the sim engine is *great* for Pacific ops. Many have noted the strange similarities between Pearl Harbour and Barbarossa -- both surprises or...were they?

Remember the legal issues with PF.. why we couldn't get an official Avenger... ?

I think that Oleg's departure from UBI had more to do with business than the folks at UBI even if that may have played some role, but I dont think he was "run off" . The man has a life.. don't forget he had a kid.. who should be what.. @ 4 or 5 now? Then there were the accidents... I think Oleg has pretty thick skin... most guys who can do what he did with this sim do. You don't come up with a product like this being a thin skinned wuss.. He took on M.S. and smacked them like Tyson in his prime on a 5 ft golddigger... and at the time... MS was more like Tyson and he was more like the golddigger as fart as size goes... LOL... .

uh...I'll go with that from now on. That makes *alot* of sense.

I remember those doubled up accidents. I always thought of that when I read this...

The aircraft stalled immediately and crashed from 20 m, injurying the pilot K.K. Artseulov.

IL-2 [NOT the Il-2 we know, lexx] flew on July 1924, the pilot being again K.K. Artseulov, who had recovered from the previous injuries.

That was a neat plane. What developer will be the first?
