Ah... the IL-2... how long will this remain vaporware? They've been talking about this sim for what, two years?

Doesn't look too vapor-ish to me...

gonegold.com has a release date of 4/3.

But I'd wager on that slipping a couple weeks since the Beta was originally slated for March 2 and hasn't happened.

After B17 II, I'll wait an awfully long time if they make sure they get it right. (hmmm... though with B17II we waited an awfully long time and got an awfully screwed up game... go figure... guess it wasn't long enough.)

it's not very accurately modelled... remember those beautiful yellow triangular exhaust flames in WB?? Why aren't those modelled?

You can have the Meteor in its own little arena with a bunch of V-1s to intercept.

Just trying to be objective here: PCZone had a working alpha version to test - printed a review, very impressed they were as well, I can't see them lying just for the sake of it. Closed beta sign up was until early March - I had a computer in a "state" and no working stick so didn't even try to sign up, maybe others got luckier?

One of my friends works for Maddox. Also some guys from 228th ShAD help them.

Maybe it's a good idea to invite them for a few beers  

It is NOT a vapourware.

Helping out with 3D cockpit for the HE-162 right now for Oleg.  Have to say the game will be incredible.

Gone gold... alpha copies... etc...

IMHO, until it hits the shelves at the local computer store, it's vapor.

Just in case anyone wants to check it out. www.ilyushin2.net

In the US this one will only be available for purchase online.

It has been coming forever and the closed beta was supposed to start Mar 2nd but has not yet.

After the B172 fiasco I am leery of all hype but this one at least bears watching if you are into Groundpounding or interested in the East front.

It boasts 32 online and 16 for coop online but it is a boxed sim and we know how those mostly do not work really well online.

We can hope, if it does work online with 32 or 16 I will save a few bucks.

When did they put this thing in here and WTF is it for?
