I don't know what Soviet Ace is on about but the PC community didn't go anywhere. IL-2:1946 is still thriving, and Oleg and Maddox Games are hard at work on the sequel to IL-2, which is 'Storm of War'. Also BoP wasn't even developed by Oleg or his team, it was made by a 3rd party strictly for the consoles. And as you can imagine, being a console game, it is worlds apart from the PC version. (Less emphasis on realism and more on fast arcade action)
So if you're looking to play IL-2 on the PC, well then play IL-2: 1946. And I suggest googling 'allaircraftarcade' if you want to update it.
