Luthier, I can't thank you in many ways but I'll dedicate my next film to you as a token of my appreciation. Flying CoD online is mindblowingly fantastic. A true glimpse into a simming future that I hope will truly come to fruition one day.

As a young boy in the early eighties I devoured books on WWII aviation and daydreamt of flights I would never be able to make in Spits, Messerschmitts and Mustangs. Then flightsimming came along many years later and suddenly I could live out my dreams. Your work has Given Life to Dreams.... And that is not a small thing! So thanks and good luck with your future endeavours.

As a young boy in the sixties and seventies I devoured books on WWII aviation and day dreamed ... etc. For example saving up for ages in the early seventies to buy 'Warplanes of the Third Reich' by William Green which cost the then huge sum of ten pounds sterling etc, etc.

I too have been dedicated to flight simming for a long while and the IL2 series has given me more pleasure than any other title. My point is that I believe Oleg is much more responsible all the good things in the IL2 stable, from the original IL2 to Clodo than Luthier. I have met Oleg and occasionally corresponded with him over the IL2 series. He has always replied and I believe valued my contributions. Not something I can say for Luthier.

This is of course just my opinion and I would point out that I am not saying anything good or bad, just expressing my opinion, in I hope a polite and civilised way.

RedToo.
