I will repeat you the last time: Never tell people that you don't know in both of the following cases:

When you know nothing and tell all the things like your fantasy

When you know something partially but invert it, which which finally get absolutely reversed result. 

And the answers to you others already show everything that I told you myself. Isn't it enough for you?

Buy.

Oleg nice for to drop in here. Your input is well appreciated. I"am one of your consumers for years. I have all your produts since you started the IL2 series. IL-2 to the Pacific Fighter. I also have most of the addon as well. I want to thank you for bringing us the Eastern Front to World two combat Simulator.

With out your input we would not have had the priviledge of being able to fly in the Eastern Front as no one else has been able reproduce it as well as you have. I always been a big fan of Word war two Aviation.

I was aware of many of the planes that parcipated in the Eastern Front before you build this Simulator.
Now I have been able to fly them as well. Other People that where not aware of what the Eastern Front meant to the History of World war two have learn about it thruogh your Simulator.

In other words you and all the other Developers are responsible to do this work with devotion if you care about what our privious Generations and what they had to go through to preserve our freedom that we cherrish today.

You World war two Aviation developers are not just developing games for our enjoyment but it can also bee use for our collective memories of that great war on our younger generations mind.

So, I want to thank you and your staff for your contribution to the improvement of quality in our World war two Sim World.

As for Pacific Fighter I"am sorry Oleg but you gave us the impression that you and your team where going to do the complete Pacific war through with this new installment to IL-2 series.

I feel a bit desappointed that you are leaving as with half developed Simulator.

Maybe you did not promise this, but I know you did gave us that impression.

I was hoping to have two great Simulator for the Pacific war instead I have been left with only one.

If you notice there is only one Simulator dedicated to the Pacific air war and I believe thats a shame.

The Pacific Fighter has many good features that I like but its still not a complete Simulators representing the Pacific war like with help of a very dedicate team of developors CFS2 has become.

Now I"am force to wait three or four years for the next Simulator dedicated for the Pacific war.

I hope you can do better the next time.

I"am sorry but I will tell you like I see it. Its better to bee honest and upfront than to be told how great one is and not bee able to correct ones mistakes because of it.

I do like your products other wise I would not have bought them all, or bee writting this post if I did not care about our genre.

On weather Pacific Fighter is better than CFS3. I believe Pacific is the better Simulator over all if merge with FB is concern. CFS3 is getting better every day and a dandy of a Simulator of its own but not as good as the FB merge with PF is.

Lets wait for MAW and see what it offer us Simmers.

Its good to debate and dicuss issues. It can only improve the hooby we all Love.

Please do not treat this as Antagonist post. We all have one thing in common. We all love World war two combat Simulations.

Oleg you have raise the Bar on the quality of this hobby and I thank you for it.

Good luck on your new series.

Okay so Oleg's been here again and ignored the question on multi-throttle support in Pacific Fighters.
He used to ignore it on the IL2/Forgotten Battles/Pacific Fighters Boards too.
Come on Oleg, I'd just like to know: can't do it, won't do it - which is it?

This will my last post on this subject since most of you are way to passionate and not very objective for my taste. I fly this Simulators for experience and feeling each give me. I always wanted a Simulator that Simulated the whole war.

The one that comes closes because it has a World map and a fantastic open format is CFS2. That beaing said it also has many short commings. The lack of quality control make some plane by the community a bit less than realistic. The cockpits are not as detail as in other Sims. The Ai while not as bad as some people think it is, it still very repetative  in its behavior as a opponent. Re guardless of the plane it always does the same manoeuvre every time. It has a limit comunication capabilities. The only thing that saves it and make it a great Simulator it its dedicated community that have evolve it to a great extend.

CFS3 has that third demention look to that is very appealing to me.  Pretty good looking exterior look to its models, and feel to it that adictive to it.

It also has poor cockpits and only one Theater to work with, The same limited communication capabilities that CFS2 has. Ai that is just more difficult to shoot down than it was in CFS2 but not that much better. It has many more other things that keep it from the been best in the market.

IL-2 series has the Beautiful sceneries and planes . Near perfect cockpits for the technology of today. A tremendous coloful look to it. A bit better Comunication capabilities than the CFS series has. Yet there is something missing to it. There is that immersion or lack of  it that almost ruins it. The missions are bit to long at times and  there no mechanism to reach your objective without having to fly the whole mission. The sounds are poor compare to the CFS series. and while Patches have improve the Sim tremendously they have not correct this aspect of it very much. The graphics are not as good as your first imppresions leads you to believe. CFS3 are better with the exception of look of the water, and with the upgrades to the sceneries in CFS2 its better now as well. The Ai are good but bit unrealistic at times. The missions especialy the ones for the Pacific Fighter are not as realastic or Immersing as could have been. With the addition of third parties DGgen it has been some what improved. It still needs more campaings for both sides to make it a more complete Simulator. I hope he corrects this problem with Patch 3.05.

CFS1 is a old Sim with many short comming but a heck of a lot fun. A pioneer of a Sim. I still enjoy flying in it.

Janes World war two Fighters was a great Sim for its time but too limited in scope.

EAW is the most immersing of all of them evedow its a seven year old Sim. Just look at their forums and you will see how popular this Sim is still is. Thats increadible achievement. Its only real appeal its immersing factor that has not been over come all this years. Amazing if you ask me.

Even with its dedicated community it still a improved old game. It cannot copare with the newer ones in sceneries, Planes models or cockpits and many other feature that our newer Sim display. Even with all its shortcomming its still a lot fun to play with it. It still has the easiest format and some feature that todays Sims do not have. Like for example it has best communacation capabilities of any Sim in the Market. It has a good intro to get you in the mood. It also has a World war two documentary for a historical refreshment, and if you press F12 you can become a spectator to the whole action like if you where waching a World war two movie. It also allows you to fly in other planes in your squadron if you are shoot down during a mission.
Thats does not mean its my favorite Sim. No by no means.

I do fly through it once in while but its not my favorite.

I do not  just fly in one Simulator . None will ever have all I ever want in a Sim. So for me I like them all. I think they all are good Sims and I fly in all of them to get my World war two flying desire out of my system.

Yes, I think we need to get involve as a community and try to improve this genre as much as possible for the benefit of all. But to me you should buy them all and enjoy them all. They are not political parties or different Idiologies that one should not change. I think everyone should appreciate what has been done so far. Be objective and not offended when one of us says something that we do not like obout our favorite Sim.
They all got good things and short commings.

Lets hope Microsoft joins us one day in the name of competition and in the process improving the quality of this genre.

Happy shooting and do come back home safely.

i guess u guys missed the part where you can in fact control multiple engines with a throttle quadrant in il-2, and while it's not pretty or clean its still functional, and no i dont mean physically selecting which engine you want, find something else to nitpick please.

"because it does not support the Quad Throttle directly"

so you admit it does? how much you wanna bet multiple engine control will be implimented natively in BOB, true that's not what we're flying right now but oleg doesn't have time to fix everything you want fixed in this soon to be obselete game, especially since it works, why would he waste his time?
