I love this game!!! It was year 2002, when I get some money from my parents to buy a gift what I want - it was a jersey of Colorado Avalanche!   
I was a 13 years old fan of this club. At the final the jersey was not available in the shop, so i went to the PC game shop and I bought the first IL2 STURMOVIK GAME!!!
I instantly fell in love with this game and I'm happy that today as a 30 year old guy I can still play my most favorite game in the world!!!

THANK YOU ALL

[Roo5ter]

IL2 Paratrooper FPS mode confirmed.

[Czar66]

Legendary work from you guys! Amazing communication, especially on the last Q&A.

[SCG_Space_Ghost]

There are dozens... DOZENS... of us looking forward to this update.

 

Take all the time you need.

As long as it hits in December I have no complaints.  Also, what are the biggest differences we will see in the Bf-109 G-4 vs the current 109s?

 

Derated DB engine.

As a Minnesota Wild fan, I strongly approve of the swap.

19th, still before christmas, good show.

Cool to see Ju52 drop their paras...

[Luger1969]

Absolutely marvellous chaps. Great communication also. I am going to have to look for some new adjectives to use. Bring it on i may have a future as a transport pilot.

[Danziger]

Holy crap! Dropping en masse is a site to behold! Absolutely beautiful. This is just fooling around in QMB. Can't wait to see what mission designers make with this new feature. RUN! DON'T WALK TO BUY THE JU-52! This turned out to be cooler than I thought it would. In motion its awesome. I just don't have time to make a video tonight, but check out these pics.

Wow. Just imagine trying to navigate a fighter through all of that. There's just too many parachutes for a single plane to shoot down!

[=EXPEND=Tripwire]

Very excited!

 

Any chance of a DD this week providing the proposed change list for us to drool over?

[Pollux]

Very excited !

Fantastic news and fantastic work from the team. Thank you!

 

[JG4_Sputnik]

Thanks for the honest words, I will be patient.

(IF the update comes out before Christmas, otherwise I will go berserk ) So exited for DX11 and VR!

 

Thanks and keep it up!

[Rjel]

Astounding. The ground level picture in the original post of the tower view of a parachute drop is stunning.

 

Forgive me if this has been asked but I'm at work and can't read the entire thread. Is it recommended to do a fresh install when the update is released?

[II/JG17_HerrMurf]

Derated DB engine.

Derated? Aren't we bumping UP from 1.32 to 1.42 ATA?

[Jade_Monkey]

Derated? Aren't we bumping UP from 1.32 to 1.42 ATA?

It's a de-de-rated engine.

[Urra]

First photo of Ju52 in OP, are those two rocket pods under the wing?

[SYN_Jedders]

Cant wait for Dx11 ):)

[Asgar]

no they're not

[SCG_Space_Ghost]

Whoops.

This. 

[Roo5ter]

Whoops.

 

 

This. 

Now I'm more confused

[Danziger]

Now I'm more confused

It was a de-rated engine later re-rated.

[Matt]

Those are the oil coolers.

[SCG_Space_Ghost]

Now I'm more confused

 

If you take the square root of pi minus the Ju52's non-existent rocket pods than you'll find that the answer is somewhere in between a cent and a buck.

[von_Tom]

I cannot buy the Ju52. If I did my squad would somehow contrive to get me into it even though I love them dearly (the conniving double-crossing, team killing loonies).

 

The model etc looks great though.

Thanks to Jason and the team for all of their hard work.

I'm addicted to this sim and have spent far too many hours playing it.

Long may it continue.

[Roo5ter]

Ok so does the G2 have more, less, or the same engine power or power to weight than the G2

[II/JG17_HerrMurf]

The G2 specs rather closely to the G2. No surprise there. However, the G4 gets a .10 bump in ATA on the supercharger and a throttle limit (time) as does the F2/4.

Thanks, looking at other photos they are directly behind the props. So that might not work as intended.

[HeavyCavalrySgt]

Yay!  A campaign!

Gents,

What a great team effort to get this out and what a great early Christmas present! Many thanks to all who are making this possible; big update, can't wait......but I will, take your time guys, we will all benefit in the long run.

*Whispers*  Do it... Doooooooooooooooooo iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit...

 

[if you don't, how will you fly the '52 obstacle course? Can't wait to see if it can squeeze under that ruined bridge in Stalingrad...] Also, expect some supply drop into the V. Luki citadel competitions. Tom, you'll be out in the cold, staring through the window pane, wondering why you can't join all the cool kidz  inside having fun... 

 

Also, return of the Mothy  Dreadnought slug-fest. Heinkel dorsal gun vs Ju 52 dorsal gun, etc, etc...

Great stuff, looking forward to flying that Ju52!

That's great Req. I may just get a chance to shoot you down.....hey, I may just do it in a P40 !!!

 

Thanks for the update Jason.

[Lusekofte]

The JU 52 come as a full concept with features never heard of in simulation before, you might as well just make more transports. They going to be popular. Fantastic work, and yes I hope everyone will be polite, hope and believe I do

[No601_Swallow]

I was just thinking exactly the same thing. It'd be a shame not to further exploit all these cool new features.

[pilotpierre]

You guys are bloody unbelieveable.

the teets on the G-4..
