777/1c just announced Battle of Bodenplatte which will include all the aircraft that are included with DCS WW2. Without doubt they will release the full package before the jokers at ED can get their final aircraft into beta. With the abysmal performance of the normandy map and the drip drip drip of development this will pretty much kill any future sales of the DCS P47, ME262 and whatever they decide to charge for in that theatre. Which to me will mean development will grind to a halt as there is very little reward to be had from continued development. Also 777/1c moving into jet aircraft ,262 and one of the devs expressing interest in a korea theatre in the future what will that mean for those players frustrsted with a lack of proper theatre for the mig15 and sabre?

I hate to say it, but it's kind of a no-brainer. Instead of paying 50 to 60 bucks for a single plane, for a few dollars more you're getting 8 planes, a map that includes three countries, campaigns ...etc. I can do without clickable cockpits. And from the screenshots I've seen of the Russian Front stuff, it's going to be beautiful. I'm considering doing something that I NEVER do. I just may pre-order. I'll keep DCS for my F-86. I love that jet. But for WW2, I'm movin'.

No arguement there. 777/1C produces some very good looking products and a clickable cockpit is certainly not needed to get the feel of combat flight. ROF was my first introduction to flight sims (aside from some Janes back in the day) and I have always enjoyed my time with it. Even though the aircraft fly only slightly faster than a car.

Wow. DCS WWII just got owned. After none of the previous planesets in the new IL2 series appealed to me, this new one is almost like I hand picked the plane set and theater.

Competition is good.
Now maybe dcs will have the drive it needs to get on with the dcs ww2 module we all prepaid for years ago. I doubt that. If i had not backed EDs kickstarter i would have no interest in buying the remaining planned aircraft as 777 are now planning to develop them. I doubt im the only one who feels this way. Like pooch says you're goung to get a whole lot more for your 777 money. ED have been blown out of the water here. Theyve been developing this sh1t show for too many years and still no clear sign of completion. Nobody is going to buy their p47, 262. Their WW2 theatre is buy the map, buy the aircraft, buy the assets. The total cost for map, assets, all 5 aircraft would get you pretty much everything 777 have produced for ww2. The comparison is staggering. We may well be still 2 years away from the 262 and p47. ED are going to have to rush this out to get as much profit as possible or they will be too late. Its game over man, game over. Edit ED are lucky a studio like 777 are not doing modern aircraft. They would disappear without trace. "You remember DCS?" "Wasnt that the studio with the really bad forum moderators?"

and I am installing first IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad ...
Where does Cliffs of Dover fit into the install path? Or does it not when you say that BoS is the first IL-2?

Personally I look very much forward to this future Team Fusion creation flying Tomahawks, Martlet's and cannon equipped Hurricanes all over Tobruk (most probably getting shot down as I always are in propeller-nose machines - should stay in Korea with my F-16C I guess).
As well. I still remember walking into an Incredible Connection store in 2001 and seeing IL-2 Sturmovik playing on a PC and instantly being transfixed by the spectacle, so much so that when I got my first PC 4 years later it was the first title I bought. Thoroughly enjoyed it and still remember shooting down my first 109 in the flying tank........ That's what started it all for me, the good old IL-2. Tried CoD at release and remember it being an absolute disaster and never been back since. Seems like a revisit is definitely on the cards.
