However, I do hope the developers continue to explore more WW2 theatres. Whilst this title doesn't even begin to approach the scope of the original IL-2 Sturmovik (and especially the 1946 edition with mods), it's probably fair to say no other flight sim will ever achieve the same scope as that landmark title. Thus far the expansions have all been set on the Eastern Front, with the first Western Front expansion under development. The developers have added more single player oriented content, and I hope more is to come, especially by way of historical campaigns. Very decent graphics which don't require a supercomputer to get decent framerates from combined with a very convincing flight modelling make it a very enjoyable experience. From the initial missteps this one has matured into a very solid WW2 flight sim. I believe the company divested itself of the original lead developer who was doubling down on some really poor game design decisions and has taken a much healthier direction under Jason Williams.

It looked like the developer was trying to catch both the original IL-2 Sturmovik crowd and the War Thunder players. On original release this one took a lot of flak from the online flight sim crowd.
