Great news, really looking forward to the game!
Dont mean to be a downer, but to be honest I was unimpressed by the graphics I saw. Maybe it was the lower video resolution but it had really bad Jaggies. The cockpit lighting and detail is incredible, photorealistic. I am sure the terrain closer up is more detailed, but in the sky scenes / cliffs it looked very much like WOP graphics.

Great news. Congrats Oleg & Team on getting it to the finishing post

This is exactly what i'm hoping as well. Once you sign it's over, so i seriously doubt he'd let his greatest achievement so far and countless work hours of his team be marred in any way, without first threatening to take it to a different publisher in order to get better terms.

Come to think of it, in the limited amount of predictions and wishlist items i've expressed over the years i managed to land a score. I have wanted detailed systems and engine modelling, along with a persistent online campaign mode and both of them happened. Maybe i'll be lucky and score a hit on this one too so we can all fly unhindered by artificially tacked-on "external" software

P.S. That buddy of mine i recently got into IL2? He's not only already contemplating about getting on board with the new series, he's actually thinking of getting the collector's edition as well. If all goes well and it's working as it should right out of the box, i might be able to push a couple of extra copies to some of my other gamer buddies as well, thanks to the training missions and tiger moth plus mutli-crew feature.
