Yup. Complete with the Sukhoi 26 aerobatic plane they promised from the start. Perfect for doing Lomcováks, inverted spins, and outside loops through Tower Bridge, though a little out of place in the BoB, even with the optional laser cannon (!) I've only given it a brief test, but it is an interesting beast:

My graphics settings need tweaking, I seem to have lost anti-aliasing - probably something stupid I've done...
After a year away from my flight sims, including CoD, two days ago I installed the new patch after properly cleaning out and deleting everything in the /Documents/1C Softclub/il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover/cache folder.
I was very impressed at how much optimization had been accomplished to the game. Flying over London with all settings max'd was stutter free, exceptionally smooth and reminded me instantly of why I love great flight sims so much. Flying missions with many aircraft was smooth also.
I went online to check how many people were flying - and found enough flyers to have a good time with on the ATAG server - as many as 60 at times.
The biggest thing that remains to be fixed for me (and I'm sure most everyone else) is the inability to operate aircraft above about 6 - 7 km. Show stopper.
I'm hoping and expect that this will get addressed in the next series of beta's prior to final release of Steam update and final patch.
Release candidate 2 now out: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=34902
Lots more fixes - including the Su.26 which has apparently been de-helicoptered a bit, as well as fixing the obvious bugs.
good news, i see a mention of radio beacons, cant wait to try it....
