If so, I would have had to pay a fortune for all the books I used for my master thesis

I agree with you, imagine FW, ME or Hienkel demanding money to use their name and flight model data...
For me a company that has these types of policies should be producing their own flight sims or else stay out of the virtual world!
Another thought would be maybe they produced crap planes and the Il2 sim showed them up for what they really were.

it was seen as another way of extracting money, and ubi screwed up the legal handling of the case and the display of manufacturers names on the PF box (apparently the cause of the problem). i may be wrong but i think they also went for the model kit makers as well, causing a few to pull kits from their catalogues.

It is a very sad situation to hear that Oleg had been forced to pay, to be allowed to model some of his WWII aircraft.
I enjoy the historical research that goes into making my 'offline' missions and there is no doubt that Oleg's game has stimulated a renewed interest in WWII planes and what actually happened in the air battles of that time.

I think that IL2 has tremendously helped to stimulate a whole new generation of aviation enthusiasts in WWII warbirds - the manufacturers of these aircraft should be grateful for the 'masterly devotion' Oleg puts into making these aircraft come alive again through the simulation, so that any person with a computer can experience what they were like to fly. These aircraft manufactures should be encouraging Oleg and his team in every way possible - money (greed) should not be entering into the situation.

In past threads, I have suggested that Oleg should contact dedicated historical monthly magazines such as the English 'Aeroplane' magazine for support. This is a very old magazine dating back to prior to WWII and has extensive photographic and technical archives. I am sure Olegs IL2 has helped renew a whole new generation of readers interested in their historical articles and what is happening on the present WWII 'warbird' scene, which is growing every day.

Oleg, Oleg, OLEG!!!!keep Use3Renders=1 !!!!!!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I am begging you to develop multiple monitors to the maximum possible. I have just begun flying six months ago and I have just got the Matrox Triplehead2Go. It is the most incredible experience I have ever had in sims. Have you flown with this yet? I will buy one for you to try it. I run two nVidia 8800GTX in SLI mode TrackIR and OH MY GOD...Except for a small bug (flashing square that wont go away) it looks incredible!!!! Can you make it happen???? I LOVE YOU!!!!!

that was a "project" not by the official 1C team !
it was 3.party - and yes, propably , cannceled.
understandable if you have the need of time in mind for such a work.

but, lets wait and see what all will appear when the 3.party tool of SoW will be released...................................
