Agree with Fat Boy.
Actually, with Big Bear too...

Agree with LuckyBoy1. Actually I'd do just the opposite of Protos : I'd buy BOB for loyalty reasons, but will still play the IL-2 series. I'd only start switching to BOB once the Med or Eastern Front (the Pacific, maybe) are added.
So, thanks in advance to whomever Oleg decides to hand off the IL-2 games to make more add-ons.

None of us has seen a final list of aircraft for BoB...but given the wide variety of aircraft available now and in the near future, compared to a 1940 BoB scenario...I suspect everyone will buy it and fly it, but I also expect that it will be fairly lame online to begin with...unless it contains aircraft through 1942.... I just can't get too excited about Spit Mk 1's and Hurricanes vs Bf 109E's and 110's....sure we may have a stuka or some other novelty aircraft but without a whirlwind, Fw, spit mk V, 109F, beau, typhoon, mosquito etc... I think online flying will get pretty boring pretty quick...now when those addies come out...watch out! A BoB/Med sim if done right and complete should have a substantial and varied plane list...should be fun!

Pacific Fighters has delays BOB by atleast a year. It may have actually killed BOB because of the stolen copies. I bought Pacific Fighters but wish Luthier had never brought it up. I would sooner have seen Pacific Fighters with the new BOB engine.

I`m all for a FB replay.FB had been given new possibilities,flyable twin engine planes being one of them.
I`d like Oleg to put FB/ACE/PF into a DVD and add few new game features and a threater(Med!).It would be a single multi theater game I have always dreamed of.
Graphics are enough for me.I`d be willing to pay for a DVD with sound and weather code reworked completely.
The only issue is complications coonected with work needed to fix potential bugs and serious(I mean serious,no "Oleg plz fix roll rate off 2sec") FM/DM bugs.
Oleg said that they could work on this engine even two more years.I take it as an offer.We make more stuff,expand the game and you pay us.I would sure be happy to!
Anyone saying that we should move on to new engine is for me a kid looking for new graphic candy.New features can be implemented here and now,just give them an offer!BoB is just a new graphic engine.
v3.04 engine can be expanded into sub-BoB levels.
I will be bored with BoB after 3 months of playing.I WANT MY GUSTAAAAAV!!!!
You guys want to end FBAEPPF life too soon.It has extremely good graphics,all it needs is few more bells and whistles widening the immersion.Because immersion is all I care about.
BoB whining clearly shows who wants new graphics.
IL2 IS NOT HALF LIFE DAMM!T!!!

i'd like more add-on's also. early model p-38's come to mind for the med/pto theater for starters. how about...the soloman islands for a map to be able to fly down the slot?

Carguy, the FM of il2 is at its end.. it quiet cannot handle many things needed for a good simulation like jet behavior, torque of 2 engined planes, high aoa, high alt conditions, cem.... we have problems with netcode.. there are so many thing where IL2 was simply not made for...
I think there is no sense in spending more and more time for entering more and more stuff which cant be handled by the engine and which is producing bug after bug....
Just imho....

I'm completely with Luckyboy on this one, as I said in another thread, I'd happily pay good money for further add-ons. We have already got a multi-theatre sim and personally I think that the present trade off in graphics to performance is about spot on for current spec machines. Why are people desperately clamouring for something that's going to require a faster PC than most of us have currently got in order to run smoothly? My PC cost me GBâ£1600 a year ago and the repayments still have two years to run. There's no way that I'm going out to by another one just to run a new sim! I bought LOMAC and played it briefly before sticking it back in the box and uninstalling it - Reason? It was BOOORING and it didn't run very well, I couldn't be bothered to try to sort it out, I have a horrid feeling that BoB would be the same. In fact, the same applies to pretty much every flight sim I've bought except for the IL2 range which I play daily for at least an hour. The graphics are perfectly adequate, OK, you can't move your head about much but everybody's in the same boat on that one so really there is no disadvantage. If anyone wants to poll on this one then feel free, I know where my vote would go! MORE PAYWARE ADDONS!

I say, give FB/AEP/PF one more big, final patch and then leave this engine alone. It is obsolete and lacking a lot of very important things for a real flight sim as Hetzer already mentioned. After this patch Oleg's team should concentrate on the BoB development.
