Is Steam partly to blame also? I saw IL2 Stalingrad advertised on there for it's release. Looks great but I don't care about using Steam for flight sims. They won't let you mod like we normally did.

Its all ways good to have a choice whether its your preference or not.

No Steam actually helps as Hyperlobby sees a lot of new pilots coming over from there looking for set up advice.

Good maps, well behaving players, nice choice of aircrafts, AI planes.
