I may disagree with something someone says, but I don't have to post a rebuttal. I don't have any real flight experience, gaming programming experience, hell I don't even have some of the books some people clearly have. If the devs take umbrage at some of the stuff people post, it will be all our loss, but I'm sure the moderators are well aware of that.

I do find it hard to comprehend how people can feel cheated or somesuch because planned features aren't going to be in the initial release. I'm sure the devs wanted to have them as much or more because ... after all - THEY'RE the ones who planned to have them in the first place.
WE just have expectations - and why ? Because these same devs were kind enough to interact with their customers and tell us their plans. Now we castigate them when some plans haven't made it to fruition ? Sorry I just don't see the logic.
But this is just my opinion.
]Hell, I remember getting the first IL2 ( pre-FB ). After flying EAW, it was just "WOW!"
And even then - how much better did it get ?
So I can't see the devs working on something new for 5+ years which is going to be rubbish, for all the features that didn't make the final ( initial ) cut. But that's just me using that pesky logic again.
Your opinion may differ. [/QUOTE]

IL-2 (pre-FB) has been out awhile when I bought it. My Microsoft CFS3 has been broke and I have been reviews about IL-2. So I think that maybe I try it...and been hooked... Yes sir.

Been reading a lot WW2 battles but they all are about ground war, but IL-2 has got me interesting about air war and especially about East Fronts air war.

Then comes IL-2 FB and here I am, spending many hours with this great sim, has been upgraded my rig many times ( by bought new components ) etc. etc.

And when look over my shoulder to bookshelf... there are lot a books in air combat and IL-2 games (IL-2, IL-2 FB, 2xIL-2 FB AEP, PF, IL-2 Complete Edition FB+AEP+PF, 2x IL-2 1946 & add-ons: The Last Days, Battle Over Europe, Ostfront and Der Stern Von Afrika).

And yes, I have real life too
