No I didn't because to have the full game on release you had to pay for it with
MONIES! It had two free aircarft, (sorry cockpits! - there is a difference aparently!) and four others you could
BUY! It was not a free game until one year later and as a die hard rise of flight fan I expect you would know this!
The "free" demo with SP stuff came about a year after! Although it did have a servely limited
DEMO.
Essentially my paid for game was reduced to the demo pile with no reward, nor compensation! - essentially I paid for the development of those aircraft you love! For nothing!
I also hear from a reliable source that the main stay of the German side is 30mph too slow (Albatross) making the game unrealistic and once an aircraft is released the FM/DM is
NEVER modified!
Little documentation exist to disprove or prove any FM/DM except pilot reports and multiplayer numbers in RoF have fallen! -
Because the whole thing is monies orientated!
Once agin IL2 promises the future... - Let us not forget RoF was out 2 YEARS before Clod! - and we all know what rhymes with flight?! (its an English word which come from the German word!)
Anyway this would please most in IL2 (the realistic WWII combat flight sim!) I think:

I just had an idea though if clod does go down the DLC route, just make us that dont like the model buy a bundle pack from the off. Twice ( or more?) the price for everything in that expansion, like "Ost Front", "Mediterranean and North Africa", "Pacific", etc, when it is released as downloadable content we get it automatically without charge. Then those who like to buy DLC can buy it a piece at a time and everyone who doesnt like that can just buy a bundle... That might make everyone happy.
- Those that want to try the sim could do so without a massive price tag or feeling suckered into buying DLC, attracting more customers with a demo version.
- Those who can afford a big pay out per sequal are not put off by the pay for DLC business model. The devs would get a cash injection before they had done the work.
- Those who like the DLC model or could not afford the whole thing in one go could buy piece by piece. Fueling money into the sim long term.
