WE IL2-buffs did put our hands in our pockets even though most needed PC ugrades they couldn't afford (After GFC) ..so i suspect most IL2 simmers did do their duty even if they complaigned it wouldn't work on a XP running DOS 3.1. I suspect it was the gamers who bought IL2 - 1946 during the good times, abandoned CLOD during the bad. "fair weather simmers". I could be wrong, obviously 1C forcasters got it terribly wrong.

I still think abandoning CLOD now implies 1C thinks PC Flight simming is DEAD! why do they think that? WW2 buffs getting too old ? young people don't understand WW2 ? maybe ? but good advertising can sell anything .. 1C promoters obviously didn't do their job.
