PC PowerPlay investigates how a band of merry modders turned a mothballed IL2: Cliffs of Dover into the Queen of the Skies.
"The release of IL2: Cliffs of Dover (IL2: CloD) in 2011 spelt the end of an era for flight simulator development. The last big-budget simulator from a major publisher to ever be released, this sequel to the wildly popular IL2 franchise was rushed to market in an entirely unfinished state. What had promised to be the definitive Battle of Britain experience ended up being one of the most disappointing and broken releases PC pilots had ever seen. Abandoned by its developers after a year of patches introduced more problems than they solved, it was soon adopted by a group of hobbyist developers known as Team Fusion. Over the course of the last few years these talented coders have turned this utter failure of a release into the finest WWII combat flight simulator of all time. Here’s how."
1C: Maddox Games has released a new update for aerial combat game IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover; game owners can download the update on Steam now. This update makes a number of improvements to better the performance of the game.
It deffanitley has not been 6 years since Sturmovik released. Unless it was released later for consoles. Anyways can't wait for the sequel.
