I've never seen any new planes in AH. They are all old.

RV-8?

Never saw that in the game. May have to run it and see.

Used to have one in the ME.  Haven't looked in a long while, but what I doubt much has changed since then.

IL2 released a new update today. One thing that is big apparently was updating the P40/47 engine and FM. Not sure I would even know the difference lol.

I'm told the P-40 in IL-2 is a Trainwreck.  Maybe it's better now... although, having flown it a couple times I didn't think it was terrible awful beyond being rather uncompetitive on a server of Late War stuff.

Being put together by the same guys that put together the Karelia map for AH when we ran Stalin's 4th the first time.

That's where my grandfather and granduncles were. Two of them came back in coffin. Also, my aunt's husband acted there as a gunner in war booty T34/85. He made it in one piece.

Whatever happened to Oleg Maddox? He isn't brewing something up somewhere? I figured he had to be at least working on his own or in collaboration with some sim group.

He was mixed up with that failed DCS add-on:

After that (and the CloD debacle) I heard he quit game development.

From a 2011 translated post from him:

Quick translation by me-
By the way, I'm leaving game development. Now it's unperspective. Difficult slavery style work. I'm tired of, how you say, being a god. It's easier to create "buy-sell" and let fools develop. Those buy-sell buy from you for nothing and think themselves as a boss. Although, soon there will be nothing to sell with that business model. Game development is suffering a crisis, same as before consoles.

Now, that was before the DCS dead project so maybe he decided to give it one last try.  That didn't age well. 

So as far as I know he is out of game dev.

Well, that's a shame. He obviously did some great work early on. That first IL-2 back in 2001 I believe was gold to behold.

For those interested, DCS is making a major change for new players.  As of Sunday February 25th the "First time purchase 50% off" deal will disappear.  This deal allows first time purchasers to get 50% off their ENTIRE purchase.  Whether you buy one aircraft/map or ALL of them, you get 50% off.

If you have considered trying out DCS, you might want to do it before Sunday.  There will still be sales several times a year and they say there will be a new type of deal offered soon, but this is a great deal.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll pick up the 109K-4 or the Super Sabre in the next couple of days so I can try it out at some point.
