Very cool!
This sim looks more and more like it should be called: "IL-2 Sturmovick 2"

S_T_Goose,
I'm pretty sure Oleg said it's a 1:1 map.
looks very modernishy-phoney-windows eighty-tabletty like

Looks like a huge map, I wonder how scaled down it is in game, such as flying time and fuel consumption across the channel ect. As above, it's not.

Yeah, it certainly has alot of familiar looking features with the current FMB, and lots of new stuff too.

It's not the Pacific, so flying time shouldn't be too much of an issue, though if you are in an Emil, the short legs are a factor. In the 352nd Channel map, which is 1:1 the Channel takes ten minutes to cross from Le Havre to Dover. By the time I have formed up on my flight leader's wing, trimmed the kite and finished looking around the cockpit, we're in bandit country. That's the great thing about a Battle of Britain scenario, you're never too far from danger! H

Scripted Spawn?? That should allow anyone familiar with IL-2's FMB to become proficient with this FMB fairly quickly. Wheels

So I retreated to my piper cub and the pretty hills of Interlaken in fsx thoroughly shaken by my ordeal.

I myself can't stand small maps. There's going to be more than that one big map though.

Looking forward to some great third party campaigns, something with a bit more flavour than the usual vanilla in-game dynamic mission generator. Loved the stuff done for IL-2 like Compans' 32 Squadron campaigns, Icefire's Tempest campaign and Cobra427's "Hurricane Season" and "Spittin' Fire".
Cheers!

S_T_Goose,
I'm pretty sure Oleg said it's a 1:1 map. A 1:1 map should give some incentive to fly multi-engine planes. I am quite irritated over Spitfires flying from Sicilly to Firenze and back I just hope that SEOW can be made to work with SOW
Will we EVER get a real Rainbow Six game again. One for the real Tactic fans? A WWII sim with a dynamic campagn. Games with deept?
