Fund Raising?

Wouldn't that be a good reason to get rid of the not so popular maps.

If we could identify them correctly we would...unfortunately map popularity is variable with timeframe. Put an MTO map during Italy evening and you'll see a lot of people in...put the same map during Japanese timeframe and will be empty...
Same happens with pacific maps. They are quite good with USA but usually not so appreciated from europeans.
When IL2 was at his peak this was not a problem because there were enough people to fill every map. Now it is different...

Never said that. We're still in kind of a vacuum.
What I said is:
Imho it's waste of time and money adding new stuff to 1946 at this time.

I agree. We are in sort of vacuum. There's not a true IL2 successor and 1946 is on the sunset. Seeing on IL2 the future of flight simulation is wrong.
Btw at the moment IL2 is the way to keep gathered around the genre those who aren't attracted from the new sims, hoping that those sim will improve with the time and attract also the sceptics......
