Announcement of the game "IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad"

[zapatista]

this is the worst possible news

forget high realism simulator, prepare for cartoon world with jason asking for 20$ at every step

the 1C management has just thrown out 6 years of development of the most sophisticated nex gen sim that could have evolved into all we asked for in the last 10 years, only to throw it all away because they dont understand what was rescued by luthier, and all they can think of is the wasted years when they (the 1c managers) were not overseeing oleg close enough to keep his release dates on track

our only hope now is that luthier goes on to make his korean war sim and has greater idea's

bad choice 1c management, very bad choice ! the RoF "game engine" is dated and not able to reproduce real time modeling of flight physics for aircraft, its going to be a console type arcade game but released for pc, and they have thrown away a highly sophisticated flightsim that took years to develop

How in the world did you come up with that conclusion? Nothing could be farther from the truth.

That is something I've seen repeated a lot here recently.

Give a lie 30 minutes head start and you never catch up with it....

Yep, Luthier had everyone believing his for the last 36 months. Give this new sim a chance guys, they finally have people in charge that have a proven track record of good comms and honesty. Lets wait and see before we start getting our necks red.

calling RoF arcade is just too ridiculous - the feeling of really being airborne is better in RoF than in any other sim. Condor is perhaps as good, but it is a glider sim.
