Is there anything confirmed about that? Was Jason just standing there to fill the gap or did he punch Luthier off the cliff?

These business decisions are always complicated and I would imagine it was little of both.

Any idea why I haven't been able to access the new IL2 forum for the last 4 days?

Looks nice, well according to il-2 "II" proposal.

To be honest it has an instant "Rise of Flight" and "IL-2 1946" feel about it. Maybe it's because it was filmed using Fraps but it plays at 720HD and the textures seem very 'flat' and lacking detail. The cockpit detail is especially poor. As I said this may be due to Fraps but I wonder if 777/1C would release a preview that wasn't at its best.

In-game screenshots would be interesting.


My apologies I just found this:
http://forum.il2sturmovik.net/topic/...diary-part-ix/
but it still doesn't seem to be on the same level as the CoD cockpits.

I've always had the impression that this team would dial things back a bit to make sure everything works at release. I agree the pit is a little less detailed, but I must add that the sense of height, space, and cold is spot on, and the pit doesn't really lack anything when working with those other qualities. The vid strikes me as having well-balanced parts--well, sensory-wise of course.

There's something right about how it wanders in the air a bit, and it's nice to see the proper "leaning forward" posture of the pilot figure.
