Does that mean that we will fly the P40 relatively soon in this series?

I've got that warm fuzzy feeling again, lovely. Congratulations Oleg.

I'm sure those system specs you seek will reveal themselves, but not before the intense and time sensitive optimization period the sim will go through. Giving system specs before they're universal is a huge mistake. i'm sure they're aware the next question after "what's the release date"? is "what are the system specs". If you have a 4 year old computer that was mid range back then, it might be time for an upgrade, but who the hell knows. Most sims these days are easily customizable so with the right balance in video options you can obtain decent fps until you can afford that computer upgrade.

I always just assume I will have to run everything on medium and go from there

I'd like to add my own "WOOT", and thanks to Oleg, Ilya and the rest of the crew. You do good work.

It took me a couple of pages to confirm this is in fact the flight sim formerly known as SoW:BoB, and not another addition to the original Il-2 series. Guess I've got to increase my lurking in this forum past the Friday update pages.

It turns out my old graphics card knew more than I did. My BFG 9800GT (DX9) died last week, to be replaced (at cost, as it seems BFG isn't honoring their warranty any more) with a eVGA GTX460 (DX11). The old card took itself out behind the barn, sacrificing itself so that I could enjoy the upcoming CoD in all its DX11 glory.

As soon as I can figure out how to pre-order the collector's edition in the States, I'll sign myself up. To the carpers, know that it won't be perfect on day one. There will be bugs, and perhaps features you don't like. Be ready to submit the bug reports, and to turn off the stuff you don't want to use. Try to keep the criticism constructive, as that will let you vent while still doing us all some good. We're close to the next chapter of 1C flight sims, and it's going to be a good chapter.

Thanks to Ilya and the crew for persisting and getting this to the final hurdle, lets hope P40s cant carry a 10000lb bomb 20000 mils at 300000 feet

Probably another translation error, I think this means fly alongside the Polish/Czech/American/etc pilots who fought with the RAF during the Battle of Britain.

Could also mean the battle of Barking Creek.

I really hope something like that's not going to be a regular occurrence.

It would be great if there were Polish squadrons in the game!

Especially 303
