While it's too soon to tell, it also seems like IL2:BoS might fail for similar reasons - too much emphasis on eye candy and not enough attention to the things that keep fans interested.
IL2 and similar flight sims have lasted as long as they have because they're graphically simple enough that it's relatively easy to add content. IF IL2 gets any graphics upgrades, they should be simple things that reflect improved computer power and which improve the COMBAT experience.

I will back this up 100%.
I would not care if I had to use the graphics and plane-set from the original IL2 Demo, I want a bug-free and accurate flight simulator, not a Hollywood action movie.
All of the problems with IL2 and the community that has flown it have roots in poorly executed wet-dreams by hackers and modders more interested in themselves and entertainment than flight simming.
