That looks amazing! This is the one they are working on with the ROF guys?

Yes ROF = BOS, same guys. Wish you guys liked biplanes as this kind of quality is already available, although I'm sure BOS will be even better, and if Oculus Rif or something like it gets integrated into it . . . can you imagine. S! p.s. Here's a flyby www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hlXqg52j7w

I'm glad to see that this project is indeed progressing, even though it's clearly very early on. I think we're a little more than a year outside their projected release, but I didn't believe that estimate then, and don't now. Really, I just hope they get it right. Modded IL-2 still has plenty of life, but it would be great to really get into a next gen replacement since SOW/CLOD bombed out.

What exactly happened with CLOD that caused it to die so miserably?

Too many bugs, poor performance optimization, and didn't put in all the promised features. It never gathered the following it needed to financially survive and continue to grow into a series as intended. They planned a second installment, focused on the battle for Moscow, and said that they would fix all the existing issues and missing features in that release, but I don't think it ever got off the ground. Joining up with the 777 guys was the only way 1C was going to put out another release. The game engine of ROF is said to be easier to work with in terms of bug fixing and adding features and content, while not being quite as complex as what they were trying to do with CLOD. From what Stachl and others have said about their ROF experiences, it's still a nice step above the original IL-2 engine.

Hey guys Scannone here.... good to see you all again.... If you haven't tried it the Team Fusion patch for CLOD seems to make a pretty good improvement in playability over the previous offering. I've actually been playing it online with my rig that has a GTX295 vid card and am getting decent frames (40-50 inside cockpit, 90 external) with settings tuned down. Before it was unplayable for me.... now I can play at length with no video headache afterwards.... theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=100Check it out.... if you have a CLOD install kicking around and your not playing it... give it a try.

Hey Scannon. I'd heard about a mod team picking it up and fixing some stuff. That's good that it wasn't just left as it was. Do you know if they have plans to add content, like maps and planes, or are they just staying within the confines of CLOD and making it what it should have been?

il2sturmovik.com/Can preorder and start beta testing... They mention two planes as buy only already: 190A3 and LA5. I'm pretty tempted to preorder it. Anyone else gong to? Only six flyable aircraft come with the game at launch, but there are two more you can "earn". :/

I already did. With my ROF experiences I couldn't help but do so. When registering it asks you if you are with a squad and I put 3./JG51_, hope that's alright Stecher. They are attempting to make the fm fidelity like DCS P-51. Check out the forums if you haven't already. forum.il2sturmovik.com/

While I said before I don't mind paying more for this one than we have had to for old IL-2, I have to say that $90 is more than I was thinking for 10 planes and presumably one map. I think it has probably cost around $120 total over the last 12 years for what we have now, hundreds of planes and dozens of maps, etc. That's not reasonable to expect for the new one, and such pricing per content would surely not be sustainable for the devs. But this does seem a little steep to me. And 2 of those planes are responsible for the $40 increase over the basic version. But whatever, demand is high and they'll use it to bankroll further development, so I understand.
The thing that really doesn't sit well with me more than the pay to play, is the play to fly, unlocking 2 of the airplanes that I'd already have paid for. What's it to them if I "earn" them or not? Why can't we decide what planes we use and how we use them inside our own game, that we already paid for? Who benefits from forcing us to unlock planes after buying them? I just don't see the reason. I hope this isn't something we'll see with every add-on.
I think I read from them that some add-on content in the future will come in packs, and some will come in 1 or 2 plane increments. So it seems like we will run into various stages of the game for multilayer compatibility, rather than a universal install. This is good for some people to keep costs down if they only play a certain way, but for us, planning on doing online war type of things, it's bad.
The quality of the games graphics and physics engines seem to be very promising, but mission builder functions, large scale multilayer, and active ground AI remain a concern from what I've seen/read so far. I think I'll wait until the official release next spring. I don't think we could do much more than small scale messing around with the beta anyway, and I for one have more than enough things to keep busy on with the current game.

Thanks for posting your views on BOS Stecher, much appreciated. I'll keep you guys informed about how the beta goes.

I'm sure we'll have guys in the squad buy the pre-order and get in on the beta test. I know plenty of others who we fly with in GS will be doing that as well. It will be good to hear first hand how it actually is. I don't know if the pre-order plane restrictions will be something that continues through the official release, or if it's just done during the beta period. Also, I don't know what official release pricing will be, higher or lower, or the same? Just not thrilled with the pre-release, and I have plenty to do right now, so I'll hope for the best when the game officially comes out. I have no doubt that this will gradually replace old IL-2 in our schedule when it's running at full speed.

Ithink I will wait for reports from our beta testers like Stachl before I drop $90. I just need to know what I ampaying for because I got hosed on CLOD.
