Lets hope we're not. At the moment every is going according to the plan.   Only fear we have - the new GUI development. While Scale Form API is dead for 6 years allready - its become impossible to find developers for it. So evolution of current GUI have stuck. "Marshall sad story" - one of the cosequences of that. Last year we have took decision which should be taken several years ago - to develop new IL-2 GUI using another API from the scratch to allow IL-2 gamedesign to evo

While IL2 is focused on prop planes, we have made may be the one of the best steps in tank combat simulation as side-project.   So... I am not hinting at anything, but there are no principal limitations or barriers in our game engine and graphics engine to evolve it for something like "F-35 versus Su-57" or "Wings over Vietnam", or even for round-world modelling, or riding your Harley to the airbase and walking around your plane and checking its insides, talking to technicans, and othe

We should have 1st plane in the project to make fair statements about what project will contain. Initial idea - to announce it and tell about details long later - we disliked it after some thinking. Plus, now, we have an external example, when you announcing something when you have nothing in your hands - it will not statisfy the community. Community will ask "so... and what? what next? what exactly you will do?". And you have no answers which are sure by yourself. As I've said before - many tec

Yes and No. We started development of all airplanes. Yes. But:   We still have no final sure how many them will be player controlled and how many of them will be ready till release date.   So: Yes and No.   And if we will not post the player's planeset and release date in a week after announce - you guys will walk around our office with pitchforks and torches claiming about them (planeset and release date) same as now you claim for announce.   And thi

Some people just can't let themselves believe that the developers might just move away from WWII for a bit and look at other time periods for an air war...

However, for some it would be ok to move away from WWII if it was the Spanish civil war... (but that's ok because they use propellers) :nea:

But if it does turn out to be Korea for example, that's it, they are leaving... (where will they run to though?).

Russian aircraft with not only North Korean, but highly trained Russian pilots sticking it all over B-29's and early US jets?... yes, I can see that appealing to many.

Remember, this game doesn't only sell to us English speakers... if it's Korea, I bet it will sell like hot cakes.

You seen to forget that this is not objektive but subjective opinions. 
For me it could be Football war in South America if I find pleasure flying one of the planes. 
Korea bring to me a direct competition to DCS. Because I like to fool around with the Mig 15 witch is amazing. 
Instead I probably choose a Two engined radial that got to deal with Mig 15 on its six. 
I really would be all over SCW. But I haven’t the faintest idea if that is economically a good idea. And I am not sure in that regard when it comes to Korea. 
To me it got to be really really good if I bite. 
but this new thing probably will get me to buy it anyway just for my own curiosity

It's gotta be Korea. Maybe Sicily or Guadalcanal, but my money is on Korea.

Whichever one I believe they're probably talking about at the time, all things considered.

I want a simulation where I can be a proud, manly pilot, married to Grace Kelly, who dies in an irrigation ditch with a helicopter guy in a Leprachaun hat.  But before that scene, I want to punch out a young Robert Wagner, and say “You dig that, Daddy-oh?”

They are definitely talking about World War Two.

As most interesting Western Front locations have been ruled out one by one, just like Pacific has been ruled out, my guess is on some kind of an Eastern Front scenario.

Im having difficulty believing the next one would be korea because if these guys cant make a b25, what hope do they have for a b29/50?

 

How many people would buy in to mig15vf86 when dcs already does that better?

But does DCS do it better?  They have no correct map, their F86 is a post Korea model, and they have no period correct ground units, or ancillary aircraft types.  Mostly what they have is a good cockpit procedure simulator, and a lot of buttons, all set in a sterile world that depicts what is in essence a modern airshow.
