So...errr....who are you chaps reporting to now? What is the future for TD?

Yeah but if you make an engine and tweak it twice.. it is still the same engine at it's core.. that's my point. It started out as a space game.

Care to elaborate? While I know originally the Ilyushin was to be the only flyable(thus the limitations that had to be worked around in subsequent upgrades) I wasn't aware the engine had been adapted from a previous title.

I think he said that the FM was really poor in the first release

It was better than any thing else out there at the time.

The main point for me was everything was on one disc and no modded ac, everything was stock so everyone was on the same level.

At that time back then nearly all WW2 sims were modded to hell and the downloaded aircraft made it a mess getting compatibility correct.

(sounds familiar)

IL2 was a one disc solution to secure FM DM

I remember reading somewhere where Oleg said that this was originally a space simbut he always wanted to do a WWII sim. I don't remember where it was though.
