Hi

Those planes are the true spirit of IL-2 so thanks a lot.

I can say probably we're all waiting for a real patch-up of the game ...

Keep it up

[garengarch]

Thanks B6, looking forward with great anticipation.

Now that is the kind of thing I want to read!

Just hope I'm smiling when the goods get delivered

And.... 100 Octane fuel? Does that mean the Red team will finally return to keeping that stiff upper lip they are famed for?

I'm afraid everyones upper lip will continue to quiver until substantial progress is made with the sim. Personally I'm hoping the progress will be enough to renew my interest in combat flight sims, I lost interest in siming a few years ago, and follow the developments of the new series very closely, hoping for the best. Although I have had some quality time with my wife instead of cocooning in my man cave cockpit.

WOOT

They did it! They actually did it!

As in good work to all those who posted the proof of 100 octane fuel being used during BoB!

With that said I want to thank all those who contributed to that end..

Need to add IvanK to this especially, plus Artist and Ataros for their Bugtracker work, and last but not least Kwaitek.

~S~ Gentlemen for researching the facts, bringing them to the table and explaining what was necessary.

I'm glad that this 100 octane tale has found an ear on the dev's side. And now let's see the practical results ... I highly doubt that the story will end here.
