So Skype could still happen anytime up to September 2014, but yeah I forgot how integral and essential those Skype sessions are to flight sim development, I simply cannot see how this project can succeed now without some chats on Skype, we thought the randomness of the Friday updates was bad......that pales into insignificance compared to the lack of Skype chats, it really leaves a bitter taste in the mouth now, all those screen shots of the development so far were achieved without a single Skype chat involved, can you believe it, the 21st century and no Skype chats, what is worse is that we can't use the Skype chats as another medium for airing our dissatisfaction about the lack of Skype chats.

Certainly good points that you make, but for these people it was important to them at the time of the pledge. Would they have pledged the 1000.00 without the Skype feature being promised?...I don't know, but I can understand their disappointment that there has been no contact

I struggle to feel sorry for anybody who backs a kickstarter for a game simply because they wanted a Skype chat............I believe there are premium rate phone services that offer something similar.

And he's right. The people who won't invest in new projects because they're 'spoilt by the number of flyables in modded IL2' are killing the genre.

Actually I have to respectfully disagree somewhat, I'm a premium founder of the new (or in development) IL-2 BOS only because of the continuing work of the Daidalos Team with IL-2 1946. Had not DT continued on with the work, proving what can be done in the title and the genre, I would not have been interested in purchasing the BOS title in a pre-release state.

So in actuality DT's work is a very good sells promotion for IL-2 BOS.

Breaking news suggests that luthier and RRG have left DCS WW2 development and ED are taking over from here on.

Bf 109K is going beta tomorrow...?

Pardon my ignorance, but is that a simplified start up and take-off procedure? It doesn't look as complicated or difficult as I was expecting.
