Don't know how this one has gone under the radar but should be of interest to all us IL2 fans....

Whirlwind of Vietnam

"All credit to 1C and the developers of IL-2 Sturmovik. They took a genre that most publishers wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole and rather than dumb it down to reach out to a mythical "mainstream gamer", they crammed it full of the esoteric detail and nitpicky realism so beloved of fans of the genre. The result was a flight simulator that was a commercial success (albeit a small one) and the centerpiece for legions of flight-sim fans hungering for a quality product. Well, hopefully those fixed wing aircraft jockeys can shift loyalties to another form of flight, because the team behind IL-2 are working on yet another hard-core simulation - this time of the choppers and whirlybirds that fought in the rice paddies of Vietnam."

Keep a close eye on this one, read more at....

~S~ Thanks Pappy, I had no idea this was in the works. I'm not even sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing, personally I would have liked to have seen the completion of the Pacific. If they have the time to do this, they could have finished the Pacific side, or even a Med. Anyways, thanks for the info!!
