I had my copy delivered a few dys ago, but unfortunatly due to work commitments I haven’t had a great deal of time to form an in-depth opinion.

From first glances though, I think it is less accessible than the first incarnation. To a new IL2er the sheer choice of ac and career options in the dynamic campaign, could bewilder. The graphics have been tweaked in places, notably the scenery, and the extra ac are welcome, especially the 262 😀

I have always liked dynamic campigns in flight sims, and I think the best have been, Comache v Hokum, Apache v Havoc (Same series) and Harrier Falklands (I think?) These sims gave you a better view of the overall battle/war and allowed mission creation, desegnation via a well though out interface, abling the user to set navigation and target waypoints. FB it seems just generates the mission for you (correct me if I’m wrong, I’ve only played a few missions). This doesn’t really do it for me, and comes across as a static campaign really, although every outcome of every mission plays a role in the conflict.

Over the next few days I will try a get a few more hours on it and post some pics 😉
