Great update, thanks.

The first video is superb.
But I haven't been able to load the second vid yet . The site must be too busy so I will just have to try later on.

Nice wallpapers, but the letters on the Hurricane one seem to be mirrored.

Really looking forward to this game, and I pre-ordered the collectors edition last night. I don't think I will be disappointed.

Zorin make a valid point asking for the videos that Luthier made but needed translation according to Oleg. Luthier response ("the two on the front page is not enough?" Im paraphrasing from memory) is somewhat strange, maybe the first statement had a translation error or it was referring to other stuff.

I was hoping for more "boring" stuff on those videos, take off from cold start for example, showing the instruments coming alive and perhaps when all is ready to push the throttle show that if you put a bad propeller pitch you crash the plane or forgot to open full radiator the engine blow itself in 5m. Those kind of things never, ever, seen before. The eye candy is nice, but most of us here (I guess) want more than that, you can always look at the excelent models on H.A.W.X. 2 if you want graphical detail or some FSX addons planes.

I will buy the next sim of Maddox game I thought almost 10 years after the orignal Il-2, and keep getting the expansions. I know Oleg want the best possible sim experience on current and future PC. But showing more of the great and unique stuff would do great to attract newcomers (new clients=more money=more expansions!!!).

And by the way, Zorin is a talented 3D modeller that made some of the best "forbidden stuff" released last couple of years: Bombs, gunpods, etc. Thanks for your work.
