EDITORIAL NOTES
"This simulator was in development for more than 3 years. It was the serious and
hard work of aviation engineers, designers, programmers and real pilots - the staff
of 1C:Maddox Games. We were in constant contact with the players community
during the development period and tried to implement as many player's suggestions
as possible to try to satisfy all user groups. The work is now finally complete. We
would like to express our thanks to the thousands of players who helped and
supported us during those years. We are also very grateful to all the pilots that were
involved in the long tests of the flight models. Finally, we would like to say many
thanks to our beta testers, who helped us to eliminate any bugs."

"I was a pilot at the 'Bundeswehr' and had the opportunity to fly a rebuilt variant of
the ME-109. After testing IL-2 for many hours I have to say that a new generation
of flight simulators is born. IL-2 has the best flight models that I have ever seen in a
flight simulator. It is not only the best, it is very close to the real thing. Also the
graphics and the damage model are amazing...with IL-2 you feel like you are flying
in a real WWII surrounding. I say such words about a flight Simulator for the first
time, IL-2 is really fantastic."

"It has been an honour for me to be involved in testing this product. I am one of the
few people in the world who realises the amount of effort and dedication that went
into this sim - and I'm nevertheless amazed by the results. I think a combination of
the IL-2 team's engineering knowledge, real-world flying experience, passion for
history and most of all complete devotion to perfection have created something
more than a sum of all the parts. IL-2 takes flight simulators to a whole new level.
It's the first sim that I enjoy flying more than real planes."

"For me, IL-2 is a very impressive flight simulator. It brings the feeling of aerial
combat very close to real life, as opposed to other sims I've played. It is almost
frightening how real the graphics and the flight models are. I also admire how one
can now experience everything in front of the computer, from air combat to bomber
escort. I almost feel like I'm an active fighter pilot with the German Luftwaffe again.
For me, IL-2 represents the most realistic flight simulator ever made, mostly because
of the German fighters and the feeling of air combat."

“Every WWII computer flight simulator I've seen or flown has been more game than
simulator. Il-2 is the first one that looks, feels and sounds like the real thing.I've never
seen a flight simulator that made you feel like you were really a ground
attack/fighter pilot till I flew IL-2. Now when my Grandsons ask what I did in WWII
I'll just sit them down in front of the computer and let them see for themselves.”
