Country:  | Yeah, are they all for Il-2? Wait this the Il-2 section so I assume so, will try them out when they are avaliable.

| I've updated my original post with more screenies and details
Knights of the Sky seems to use its own engine, release date as yet unrevealed
First Eagles uses a modified version of the Strike Fighters engine, and is out now
Over Flanders Fields Phase 2 is a conversion of the CF3 engine, release date was going to be Christmas, there may be a short delay

I just got my copy of the First Eagles today and, frankly, I'm disappointed. The entire game looks very unfinished, especially the flight model. This is my opinion.  Thumbs down. Sorry guys | |

Country: | That's how Red Baron 2 came out. Big dissapointment at first. Then Sierra came out with Red Baron 3D, which is basically an explansion pack which can also function an actual game.
It may seem unfinished now, but wait for some patches to come out. It just sounds like these guys'll just have to copy Sierra.

Country: | I can say that the game runs lot better after I added the patch but it still needs some work. So far pretty good. | |

Country: | Over Flanders Fields Phase II will be released very soon and is awesome.. Please don't confuse this with CFS3. OFF uses only the best elements of the CFS3 game engine in order to create super detailed scenery, objects, planes, flight model, etc. OFF uses a completely separate, custom data base and control engine in order to provide a full dynamic campaign with moving fronts, weather, etc., and all historically accurate. I'm an early developer of RedBaron terrain and other addons, but I have never seen a sim like this that has so much immersion value.. you feel like you are right there.

Country: | I can field that one, 2048x2048 texture size currently. But you can have other textures assigned too so no real limit. We do a swap out of skins so you can see different Aces etc, so that skins is one 2048x2048 but you can have non changing areas mapped to different textures if you like. My DVII model has I think 7-8MB of textures assigned (around 2x 2048x2048 1x 1024x1024 and few others). | |
