I remember the long wait for the IL2 Demo hanging in the forums reading Olegs updates from the development and my feverish hands when I took off in that 109 in the first demo... Just the first take off from that grass strip made me realize this was something that completely wiped the floor with the competition...
I've been flying most sims since Fighter Pilot on the Spectrum, and I've been searching for the Grail ever since. The only time I've had a real scent of the Grail was when Red Baron (the original VGA version) was released, Falcon 3.0 - and IL2 version 1.0... Then after a while you realize even the sun has it's spots too and start dreaming of the Grail again. Maybe CloD version 3.0 in 2014 will reach immortality, if MG survives to do it?
