I got my copy(actually they sent me 2 CDs for some reason,I checked ,they`re identical).
It is simply the most amazing flightsim I`ve ever seen.
Can`t say much about it here,but I can tell it`s gonna be a must buy for everyone that likes WWII flifghtsims.

BTW ,does anyone know what was the life-span of the average IL-2 pilot?
Now I have lot more respct for them.
This game is so reallistic it scares the sh*t out of me.

From the screenshots I've seen, and some opinions on good sources (betatesters) I conclude Il-2 will be a half-cooked game, full of flaws, unplayable both on and off-line, will require a hot-rod system an will have hardware framerate top settings under 15 fps.

Bluebyte will have to work really hard to have myself as customer....hmmmmm....yea, that spare CD would work

<cross fingers>

IL-2 is the best sim i`ve ever seen,and I`ve only played the beta...

Pepe, Caligula is hooked, you can pull him onboard

Guys, I cannot say much but for an early beta it is damned good. Could be perfect if there were also flyable C.202's

Yupe. In fact, that's why there is a beta. To test server loads, and network latency issues. The game itself is pretty much done.

Right now there are two multiplay configs: 16 player and 32 player. In the 16 player config, you can play the missions and also make use of AI aircraft(AI is very good I have heard - much better than anything out there right now - very diverse in its capabilities, and prone to taking gambles or making mistakes, these being dependent on skill level of individual AI aircraft). In 32 player config, you are limited to human players, and there are no missions. Sort of an Arena setup.

There is talk of an Il-2 Online, separate from the present game.

By server load... what exactly do you mean? Does someone act as a host for others? Or does the server have to be on a corperate site?

Also, how is the multi-play righ now? Is it playable? What's the most you've seen at one time and how did things run?
