"This is all spilt milk, we are where we are etc. But really, I think Oleg should sometimes get less obsessed with state-of-the-art physics models, and see the potential of other areas of his sims, such as maps, textures, ground objects, skins etc. etc. There is much more "stretch" in these than he perhaps thinks. His basic work is so good, he could do a lot more with it than he perhaps thinks."

Its very easy to improve the work of others and not have the many constraints the original developer had to work under at the time. It would be easy for the developer to rework and tweak the IL-2 engine and made a few people happy. I would guess the majority of combat flights simmers/modders are happy he didn't take the easy way out, so we could have a next generation sim that can be improved over the next 10-15 years.

Let´s think a little about other types of simulators.
GT4 , from Polyphony Digital,is cooking for 4 years, and will need 1 year aditional to see the sun´s light
The lead developer stated that each car model takes 180 days to be completed, and the game have a thousand ( 2 weeks in the previous gen, GT3)
And this in a console game who made huge amounts of money to sony.
My point is:every generation of sims will take much more pain and time to born, there is nothing we can do about that , only wait, and then wait a little more.
We could see this game faster , if the market accepted to pay US 150 for copy, but I doubt this will happens.
So, until SOW arrives , and it will, I continue to play Il2, because it´s a great game and I will buy Birds of Prey, to support the genre and because I´m very curious about it.
