Excellent post, KOM.Nausicaa! I'd also like to add that for every impatient "expert" who thinks he can speak for the rest of us, there are many of us who silently gaze on the Friday updates with great satisfaction.
I've been waiting more than 5 years for this puppy, and of course the initial excitement has worn off. But it's not about the novelty, it's about the detail (which we see every week), the immersion of the sim, and that history that we learn! These are the things that kept IL-2 alive for so long.
Remember, this time last year SoW still a myth to the general public. Now we've been getting WiP updates EVERY SINGLE FRIDAY! What other developer takes the time to do that?
Updates or no updates, just knowing this software project is coming together is good enough for me. The thought of having this on my PC by October makes me giddy!!
