Hello Everybody!
In this diary I'd like to tell you about how we're changing the Campaign in the nearest future.
We've been thinking a lot about improving this game mode and making it more like the campaign you wish to have. We are 100% aware about all drawbacks and weeks spots of what we have right now (including fictional awards that annoy some of you too). But trust me when I tell you that with the time limits and budgeting that we had for our project we've chosen the best opportunity possible. And now, a year after release we're going to answer the question if anything can be done to make the campaign better.

As a virtual pilot you might be interested in what we, the developers at 1CGS, are doing these days to keep PC combat flight sims alive? Well, let us share with you what we are working on as hard as a human possibly could.
First of all, a moment of your attention to IL2:BOS, our one year old son who’s being so generously favored this summer. If you missed the last Developer’s Diary update then here’s the list of features that were expected by many and that will be added:
Adjustable SSAO and HDR setting
Distant landscape textures quality setting
Server capacity increased to 64 players
Free F11 camera and a set of various action cameras.
And much more is coming soon to IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad within less than a month...

DD #100 is here to bring good news which it does! Let’s start with Battle of Stalingrad.
First of all, BOS is becoming more affordable as soon as the sale is over. Starting June 22nd the Standard Edition will cost $49.99 and $79.99 for Premium. The next big thing is that BOS will get a map expansion this Fall. It will contain seasonal maps for the earlier stages of the battle along with corresponding Campaign Chapters. So you can see that we are actually are working on the two projects heavily. Furthermore, BOM development allows us to retroactively improve BOS. Upcoming features and changes we will be revealed in future dev diaries...

Even though we love our Bf 109 E-7 cabin and screenshots with summer scenery, new rivers and old trees, we just could not give this dev blog number 100. It's just not cool enough for an anniversary of our diary. Besides we have some really good news for you, coming up next week.
Without a further adieu we name thee Dev Blog #99.99!
And this blog presents you the model of cockpit in Bf 109 E-7 (there won't be a mod with transparent wing coating).

Starting the 98th dev blog post, the 98th report about the work that has been completed you realize how massive and complex flight sim development is. And the anniversary is really close - the 100th Friday post in last 2,5 years. It's more than a fancy tradition, or a public relations trick - it's somewhat a natural event. There are dev blogs ergo there is IL-2 Sturmovik.
