And... Now you have something more to say.

it doesnt have to be a sequel per se. it could just be a spiritual successor just like how Bioshock is a spiritual successor to the system shock series.

a single games company doesnt just churn out endless sequels, sometimes they have to make a new game. they could do it next time. making it a successor of sorts.

A sequel is a sequel, if you meant 'spiritual successor' then don't say 'sequel', because they are different.

And I never said a game company continues making sequels forever. But I think it would be pointless for them to make another game about aerial combat in WW2 and not name it IL-2 Sturmovik, especially once a fan base was established for that title.

My computer is not the best gaming rig so I don't get to play alot of these pc games/....however I spend alot of time scouring the web drooling over all the pc sim games I will own when I can afford the rig(probably after I finish my engineering degree).....with that said I have been routinely disappointed with console flight games....and the tendency for console games to hold your hand and help you beat them reduces sim qualities.......

the ONLY reason I tried this games demo was because I saw IL2 in the title..my jaw dropped and initially I thought maybe they had ported it directly....i loved the sim mode..and bought the game as soon as it came out here(california)...but if it had been called anything else I probably would never have downloaded the demo in the first place....

just my half a cent
