Actually the original IL2 had a good number of glitches when it first came out. Minimal ground graphics had people making "Lawn Dart" jokes because they couldn't gauge distances and were constantly flying into the ground. Many of the gauges in the cockpits weren't working when the original IL2 came out. Planes would belly bump the ground and not be damaged. Vehicles rolled along the road and their tires were sunk too deep in the road, as well as planes on runways. It all has a familiar ring, doesn't it? Everybody wants everything yesterday, and with a complex flight sim like this - that isn't going to happen overnight. Patients young Jedi's! Patients!

I feel vaguely tempted to install the IL2 beta, just for the trip down memory lane. Assuming it would work on W7-64.

I think IL-2 had some expectations on it but it really was a surprise how good it really was (sense of speed/flight) compared to other sims at the time. Therefore I think we had extremely high expectations this time around BUT plz have a look at the reviews of IL-2 Sturmovik 1.0 and compare them to the CloD reviews so far. Example below, two different reviewers yes but still:
