    I'm not actually going to buy IL2 Battle of Stalingrad, Gold or Silver Edition. The JU52 is not flyable in either edition.
    No feature of the HE 111 either in the trailer.
    An otherwise commendable WW1 Flight Sim was slated by critics because, well, if you wanted to earn extra points, you could fly up to ridiculous balls in the sky, to add to the player score. Combat Flight Simulator 3 by Microsoft was the other dud. Any other flight sims that you can think of, that scoffed at historical fact?

    I don't understand what your rant is about ?
    The Clip is not in game ? It makes it look like an arcade game but it's far from it.
    777 Studios are the gang behind Rise of Flight which is a superb Simulator.
    And I'm sure this will be too.

    I totally agree as far as il2 1946 is concerned. It's got more hours of my life than any one person or job lol
    Have you checked out the Team Fusion mods for IL2 COD ?They've added a massive amount of changes that really help the sim. But still alot to do I think.
