    Hi, I was just wondering, is Battle of Britain going to stack on top of the installs of FB AEP and PF? Will there be an option for a combined install, where the planes from all the games will be available in BoB? Also does anyone know a rough release date for BoB? Gamespot indicates somtime in May, is this correct?

    May is HIGHLY unlikely, unless they mean May 2006.

    BoB will have a new engine, new physics and new standards for nodeling objects, planes and cockpits. As far as we know it will not be backwards compatiable at all.

    BoB is a new porduct, not an expansion or continuation of the (honoured and venerable) IL2 line.

    No. BoB will be a new game, not mergable with existing titles.

    It's not coming out in May. AFAIK it's late 2005 or 2006.

    Gah, you beat me :P

    Guys, BoB will be in BETA late 2006 at the earliest! Don't expect it earlier than sometimes in 2007. Oleg's words.

    Like a Bowling Ball stacked on a non~IBM keyboard, BoB will crush the other games.

    Yes, basically, Patch 4.0 will be Tested and Improved again until it becomes 2006 BoB 1.0.

    Does anybody know if Oleg will create other campaigns that will merge with BOB? Such as an all new Russian front Perhaps?

    This is my general plan:

    BoB, then after BoB Africa then something new (don't know yet)

    We will use successfull attempt with PF...
    1) Releasing BoB.
    2. Released Africa as stand alon and with possibility to merge with BoB.
    3. releasing new stand alone theater say X, with the possibility to merge with BoB + Africa + X
    4. etc. Including European, Russian front and Pacific, but before will be several titles.

    Finally we will get even more than in Il-2 series amount, quality, etc..

    Such method will help me to be alive for a long time. You know that currently we are almost alone on the market... niche is too small.
    But I dislike to go on consoles and name it simulators..
