Got the game yesterday, finally, it was cheap as bear. I have good machine so it runs pretty ok. But the overal level of finish is just appalling. So this took 10 years to develop and a year of patching?

The menu sucks big time, assigning controls is worse than in the old IL-2, no way to assign axis to zoom...

The graphics... Sorry, but game looks is poor. AA doesn't work, but that is a minor issue. The biggest one is the colors. How come there are guys making those FXAA injectors that fix this and it takes something like two weeks (no pun intended) to develop them, and the dev team could not make this in several year. I don't know if they have actually been to England, but some random images clearly show, it does not look like My Little Pony, which cannot be said about the colors in game.

The cities look poor as well with clone buildings resembling the old IL-2, giving a very generic feel to the whole feeling of the island. Not to mention the famous Cliffs themselves. The final product looks like most of the development time was spent... not developing at all.

I realize that I sound very mean right now, but I am not at all angry or disappointed. I knew what the game was and still bought it. The feeling of flight is nice, I like the cockpits and the planes and there is great potential in this to be the next greatest WWII sim ever.

I hope the devs will look at this from a distance and keep doing a good job of fixing the sim. I believe that despite all the roughness it has a lot of potential and it would be a shame if it went to waste.
