Proprietary cr@p silverlight, no thanks.

I prefer Silverlight to Flash - by miles ...

actually, MSflight isn't a real contender with Oleg's new product.

these guys are:

But only if and when they or anyone that is gonna use this product starts making stuff that allows you to use ww 2 warbirds much like Cliffs of Dover....

IL-2:CoD only real competition today is IL-2 1946.

Simple as that. And as I said in other topic, I don't care of the great terrain at 3km alt, but when I'm chasing an 109 at deck or in a dive bomb over some armour column. Nothing today comes close to IL-2 1946 in these points.

+1 on your motivation, even though I guess Oleg is happy they don't put a new team on doing a new CFS4 from the ground up with their budget...

I don't know... even with the big budget M$ never can make a decent graphic engine to FS series... I never like this aspect of M$FS series.

Maybe if M$ hire Maddox team...

They tried this already with CFS3 and lost miserably to IL-2. I would like to see Microsoft do a quality WW2 combat flight sim, but I'm not holding my breath, as the bean counters either get in the way or they're developers lack enough talent.

S!

Sharp, that F18 thing was nice, but it is harder to make a realistic sim of modern jets as much of the information on the planes is restricted or classified. No sim for sure uses real radar data or frequencies etc. Also the procedures in many of them are off etc. But nevertheless give a nice view to what it can be to operate a modern jet

Regarding WW2 planes they are easier as nothing is classified on them anymore and such. Only thing is how to obtain all the data as much of it is lost, for reason or another. There are books for sure, but many just repeat common things heard over the years and very few really critically look into things and dig up new data.

I want to bag a 747 with that F-18 and listen to the shock and wailing on the ATC comms channel.
