You may not understand the direction that the developers intend for the engine...the detailed equipment in game, is for much more than the videos that you mention. So sarcasm may not be a mature stance to take on this matter.

I'm quite sceptical if we're going to see CoD this Spring. I have not noticed has there been any dates or information when they're going to release this (hopefully awesome simulator) but I do not know if it's the genre or what why this game has not yet been advertised or promoted so much. Usually game developers want to create great homepages etc. to promote the upcoming game (ok, I saw the promotion pics when they presented the game in Russia). But all information about this need to be searched from the forums and even that it is somewhat held back? Sigh.

Anyways, I will order CoD as soon as possible and I'm going to enjoy it since I have waited so many years. I can wait for a bit longer...

Put "IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs Of Dover" in google. About 20 or more pages will come up. Every other one has a release date in there somewhere whether it's late March 22, 25, this spring or April 19 etc. there's release dates plastered all threw those pages. They've been there for weeks.

I'm not being sarcastic. I think the game looks great here, and if one rolls their mind back to the beginning of Il-2, the game looked a lot better in real life than it did in the initial pictures. I remember when Il-2 came out, I put off buying it until I found the demo, and it blew me away. It just looked, played and seemed so much better than I had pre-estimated.
So with SoW, I can't wait to see how it looks in the hands of the community: especially on a really good PC, and not Luthier's 'crappy' one I can't afford a new PC to run the game at the moment, so I don't know when I'll be able to play the game.

I think whats going to be the most fun Philip is the damage model to the engines. I remember Ilya talking about that. Something about each cylinder in an engine could be individually damaged. Probably many other things too like reduction gears etc. We'll have to wait and see.

Thank you for that,

Thank you Oleg, it's great to here this from you.
Thx

Oleg, there was a thread at SimHQ in December or November where we could ask questions to you in a sort of Q&A.
When will you be ready to show us the answers?
Can't wait to read them.

Thank you for setting that point straight I hope Cliffs of Dover will be a resounding success and development will continue onwards. I can't wait to get in that Tiger Moth!
