Best wishes and good luck in your new career!

Salute!

[JG1_Vonrd]

Best of luck to you whatever your future holds. I have a feeling there will be more of this... I'm envious!  ?

 

[oc2209]

You're leaving IL-2 in a pretty good place; so you can be proud of that.

 

The sim's overall quality has never been better; I'm very happy with the current state of the game.

 

Best wishes on your future endeavors, sir!

[PA_Keko_]

Best wishes for you!!!!

Maybe we should cut on the speculating and keep on topic, wishing the best to AnPetrovich with his new career move.

 

Have a nice day.

Sad news, really.

It's a long story begins with the first amazing Su-25 AFM, a lot of years ago. 

 

Sorry to hear this but really, all the best for the future, and thank a lot for your work.

In case anyone was concerned, the development of flight simulators will certainly not stop here after I leave the studio. Among the IL-2 staff there is a strong team of engineers, and the guys will continue the work. I am sure that many interesting projects from 1C Game Studios await you.

Sorry to see you go.

Any other real pilots in the team apart from you?

[Talisman]

Big thank you for all your work with IL-2 and good luck for the future.

 

Be well, be happy and have fun.

 

Happy landings,

My path with this team began 17 years ago with the work on the add-on (as we thought back then) “Knights of the Sky” for the “old“ legendary IL-2.

 

 

And 16-15 years ago I was somewhere out there, in France, staying tuned to any potential news about the development of "Sikorsky Project", "Knights of the Sky"... both of them later merged into "Rise of Flight"... That latter is a master piece Andrey! Congratulations and Thank you!

 

So, if you are coming to Bordeaux, France... Will we have a "Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 4"? ?

 

 

[Jaws2002]

Thank you for all your hard work and I wish you all the best in the future, whatever the future holds.

[ZachariasX]

Thank you for your work and all the discussions we had in this forum! All the best for your future ventures @AnPetrovich! Fly safe!

[ChicagoChad_VR]

Thank you for your work, hopefully you stay in flight sim for the future.

[Gambit21]

Thank you and best of luck to you in your future endeavors. 

 

[Firesilver]

Farewell and good luck for the future!

[busdriver]

Удачи и береги себя, мой друг.

[Rustedgun]

Good luck on the new venture. Thanks for everything you have done in the IL-2 world. 

[Habu]

Thank you, and i whish you the best for the future.

[unreasonable]

Thank you and best of luck in your new venture. Your willingness to engage with the forum on some of the tricky technical details of modelling the complexities of flight and weapons systems was widely appreciated. 

[SYN_Ricky]

Thanks for all your work and dedication to the series, and all the best for your future! 

[WIS-Redcoat]

Good luck sir.

[9./JG27golani79]

Thanks for everything and best of luck in your future endeavors!

[Hypertexthero]

Andrey, thank you for all your work in helping to make the flight simulator with the best feeling of flying an airplane that I have ever played!

I still have my original IL-2 box, bought in Italy in 2001, and it has been a pleasure to see it grow and become, to me, a work of cinematic flight art these past 20 years. (Update 2022-09-24: I am aware that it was a team lead by Oleg Maddox that created the original game, and wanted to add this note to avoid any confusion. These simulations are created by many hands, in the end!)
 

I look forward to seeing what you work on next, and to future projects from the IL-2 developers, too!

—Simon
