Don't they post BoM pics any more?

How long will this sim take to get out of Alpha? its been over 7 months now since the last official patch and 15 months since release and were still in bloody Alpha state.

I was test flying the other day, quite low and the textures just looked horrible, plus terrible pop up clouds, stutters and low FPS with clouds, smoke and particles mean im hardly playing at all now.

As an aside, I am very distressed that the "OMG this is the Greatest Friday Update every in the history of the universe" oral manipulation thread is only 9 pages thus far.

No, apparently they thought that it would upset people showing pics from a sequel when they haven't even finished the first one yet. I don't get it though, everybody knows by now that most of their resources are going to BoM so go ahead show pictures of the game no person with at least an ounce pf self-respect will buy....unless it's really awesome of course...which is highly unlikely....but still...maybe.

Well,

As it has been said in no uncertain terms that BoM is going to use the CoD engine I guess that they have pretty much shelved that project until they can get CoD to run properly. As it is taking so long to make any progress in that regard I personally would suggest to anybody who is actually excited at the prospect of flying the Eastern front again to blow the dust of their copy of real IL2. I can guarantee that it will work and after all these years there is still a decent number of online players.

I'm happy with RoF, although the DCS P51 sim looks more and more interesting. Add Iron Front to that and it's RIP to Cliffs of Dover for me. I wouldn't spend a bean on anything they chuck out again unless the internet is full of praise for it.
