This information means that there will be more planes,maps and hopefully the graphic improvements in the way of fm, dm etc. Thanks Luthier, now this should bring closure to a lot of moans and speculation that we had. Now we know where the series is headed provided that the production survives and that will depend largely on us. We either support the team or we don't and that will determine the end result. Thinking back to the earlier series there were the same sort of moans and speculation but look how that turned out, still the best flight sim produced over the last 10 years (yeh ok, with the help of some mods, but still the best and still going strong). When and if the development team allow external content to be added we will probably see the true successor to the early Il2 rise. I must admit that some of the early mod content in the original series left a lot to be desired but it has kept the whole Sturmovik Series at the top of the tree bar none. The only thing I would like to see addressed in the sequel is a more user friendly QMB as in the early series.
I hope they can pull it off. It's. Going to be hard, after this huge disapointment. I'm looking forward to the sequel, hoping it will bring some of the beauty and colors back, but unlike last time, I won't preorder two copies, months before release. They'll have to earn it.
I don't agree with the Il2 co paration. Everyone was impressed with the il2 from the start, and most could play it on lower settings.
