I got info from Ilya today and I published it. I don't know about details of work the programmers, sorry. I'm working with only sequel now.
Well then how about some screen shots from the sequel then?
(Probably not an original thought...sigh...)

Thanks, Blacksix. By the way, I uninstalled the sim a couple of weeks ago. I'll just wait to read positive things of a future final release (not alpha, not beta) to reinstall it. And I guess by then I'll have to buy a new rig to fly it, because the last I bought a month before Clodo's release (in March 2011), although it's a wonderful machine, has nothing to do to fly your sim smoothly. And, what the heck, it's twice or three times more powerful than the requirements advertised in Clodo's box

I believe and predict that this will happen. It's just a matter of time Unfortunately.

1c Madox Sorry, but I think the branches of the company of you is games like MEN OF WAR (and I think I have very good)! Simulators require 500%? more knowledge of programming and has a well-More than just 25 people (how many of those are actually programmers? anyone know?)

Finally I say that I love the series IL-2 and CLOD but I think the company has a lot to learn not to mention also that has no marketing strategy, it would have a battle of britain much more complete and can be divided into up 2 or 3 DLCs before they cast BATTLE OF MOSCOW.

I apologize if someone gets upset with my words but it is only an outburst is only my OPINION of what will happen as the mate (smink1701) said.

I love the IL-2 and want a better simulator


S!

Game should have never been released.

Oleg left and now it's a real mess, I don't blame the programmers who are trying to fix a mess they were unfairly left to deal with.

I still have hope it will eventually be sorted out and when it is, I predict all those who are super pissed now will be back to buy sequals.

Got the game yesterday, finally, it was cheap as bear. I have good machine so it runs pretty ok. But the overal level of finish is just appalling. So this took 10 years to develop and a year of patching?

The menu sucks big time, assigning controls is worse than in the old IL-2, no way to assign axis to zoom...

The graphics... Sorry, but game looks is poor. AA doesn't work, but that is a minor issue. The biggest one is the colors. How come there are guys making those FXAA injectors that fix this and it takes something like two weeks (no pun intended) to develop them, and the dev team could not make this in several year. I don't know if they have actually been to England, but some random images clearly show, it does not look like My Little Pony, which cannot be said about the colors in game.

The cities look poor as well with clone buildings resembling the old IL-2, giving a very generic feel to the whole feeling of the island. Not to mention the famous Cliffs themselves. The final product looks like most of the development time was spent... not developing at all.

I realize that I sound very mean right now, but I am not at all angry or disappointed. I knew what the game was and still bought it. The feeling of flight is nice, I like the cockpits and the planes and there is great potential in this to be the next greatest WWII sim ever.

I hope the devs will look at this from a distance and keep doing a good job of fixing the sim. I believe that despite all the roughness it has a lot of potential and it would be a shame if it went to waste.
