IL2: Battle of Stalingrad

Just a heads up to anyone who isn't aware of this place: http://forum.il2sturmovik.net/. The most interesting sub-forum is "Developer Diary" under "General Discussion". I'm pretty optimistic about this, I have to say.

A good spot Ted. I've been follow their progress and it looks structured and measured. I still think we're looking at early to mid 2014 however.

Thanks for following up on this, Ted.

Watching with cautious optimism after the disappointment of You-Know-What

Big news: http://il2sturmovik.com/. Despite having been burned a couple of times before with pre-orders, I am feeling my resolve starting to weaken...

John Cartwright · July 27, 2013, 09:32:59 AM

90 dollars pre-order price?!

=CfC=Father Ted · August 16, 2013, 02:42:32 PM

Another bulletin from the Ostfront. Worth watching if you've a spare half hour:

Rather hasty I know, but I've succomed and placed a preorder.

Hopefully it will fair better than Cliffs of Dissapointment?

Moving from CLOD to BOS sounds like a step in the right direction.

Interesting slant they took on this first release......classic a/c test...take her up...stall it...spin it....buy the farm!

I actually find that very encouraging. Clearly the designers are happy with the aerodynamic modelling which will be absolutely essential to success.

A very long way off though I suspect....but I think we can look forward to something rather special.

Very encouraging me thinks. They know the past, they know the current, they look to the future. Good luck to them I say.

Tally Ho!

Cliffs of Disappointment - Good one Axion!

The whole BOS delivery appears to be filling all the holes that CoD left gaping wide, so let's wait and see. I've acquired the premium edition with early access too, so possibly those who have can report back here?

Looking forward giving the Hun the stout end of a sturgeon, trousers down!!

'Cliffs of Disappoinment' best CLOD title parody ever!!

Let us hope that Battle of Stalingrad doesn't earn the name of 'Bag o' Sh!t'

Badgerton Smedly · August 19, 2013, 06:25:49 PM

They seem to be giving Bag Of Stalingrad a fair bet of structure and attention but the proof will be in the pudding. Not long to wait for the early release edition (autumn, this year I think).

Start seasoning your wallets for the new aircraft and addons! The RoG sale will never feel the same again!!

The good thing is that the developer logs state that the rig specs will be similar to RoF which is spiffy news too. I just want functional menus and settings that are persisted when save once

I'll poke around on Clod till it's ready
