As for the KOTS, my source is they updated the il2 engine, instead of building a new one from scratch. The following words are form Anton Yudintsev, the head of Gaijin Entertainment, developer of "IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey":

"What we've asked for (and what we recieved) was the source code of Il-2 (flight model and AI)."

FM and AI may seem like small parts of a flight sim engine at a glance. But they takes far more time and human power to biuild than all the other parts because they are the core technology of a flight sim. Without them, IL2 wouldn't have been so popular even if it had ground-breaking graphics at that time. And you can't deny the FM of IL2 was the best among all the flight sim in the market.

@jermin

KOTS is on the different engine... they didnt use IL2 engine
BOP is console game, it does not require all the bells and whisles of flight sim, even tho it comes very close to flight simulation in many areas, based on what i read.

Guys, once again, it is NOT IL-2 engine. It is our own Dagor Engine 3.0 (next-gen edition).

You may be right about the AI jermin, but I just remember him saying he only used parts of the FM.

Sometimes I feel like I'm in the "Twilight Zone"... It seems like just yesterday (like before the mods came out) that I was reading thread after thread about how "outdated" the "IL2 1946" FM & AI where...
