IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad Discussion

It certainly appears it is just an advertisement for the previously released Normandy. Very odd, but there is no new content listed in the store.

It was probably just released on Steam today. It's been available in early access through the BoX store for awhile.

That makes a lot of sense! -- I had completely forgotten they'd logically want to offer it through their own store first.

Nope... Normandy released on Steam on September 29 (came out of early access at the BoX store at the beginning of September). It was even discounted 25% during the holiday sale.

The news post yesterday is still unexplained, and odd.

Big news!

Flying Circus Vol II released today with the long promised and delayed WWI career mode!

They also announced Flying Circus Vol III, which is a bit of a surprise. After some of the shakeups at 1C I was concerned about the potential future of the Flying Circus brand.

Looks like Volume III will finally start covering the early war crates.

Lots in the community viewed the "shake ups" as a very positive move

It may very well be. Seeing FC2 released absolutely bodes well

Wow, not only was Flying Circus III announced, but so was Flying Circus IV with these planes...

British Sopwith Pup fighter.
British rear-engine fighter Airco DH.2.
British two-seat reconnaissance Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter.
German fighter Albatros D.III.
German Fokker E.III monoplane fighter.
German two-seat reconnaissance Roland C.IIa.

FC 3 is due this year, FC4 next.

So between III and IV that will cover most of the Rise of Flight machines and the new Western Front map has the battlespace covered.

I am so happy to have single player career in VR finally. It's looking like it's time to finally uninstall Rise of Flight.

Yeah...time to upgrade, I guess.

Everytime I see FC3 I think flaming cliffs 3! :) Acronyms are dangerous.
