Bloomin thing, first flight in ages and I managed to bag one in that foul weather and finish the mission only to have Il2 crash when I was saving the track, mission lost

You have to be aware of what characters you type in to name your track when saving it. It's happened to me before because I used some punctuation that the game can't handle (like "!"), causing it to crash. I can't remember every character that causes this so to avoid the problem I only use letters and numbers. If you go into the track folder and rename your track to include these characters, the game pretends it doesn't exist, if Windows doesn't give you an error message first.

Ah, I did indeed attempt to use '!' in my track name, that must have been it, noted and thank you

I just bought my first new computer in years specifically in anticipation of this game. The last computer I bought was specifically to play Il-2. See a trend here?

I'm very grateful for the Friday updates, and enjoy whatever is presented. The last couple months have been especially exciting, as I can see the Sim I always wanted to make finally taking form in front of me. Please, Oleg, don't let a few annoying internet nerds ruin it for everyone. Just ignore them as you please, and realize that 98% of us are quietly wringing our hands in anticipation.

The series of progressive screenshots showing the altitude effects had me and my friend (both pilots IRL) talking for days. Great job!
