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."

Wow that's to bad I was going to buy that. Not now though.
I will check back in about 8 months to see if the patching did anything.
I agree with this review, actually I take it back.....they were too generous.
Wings of Prey was a great game.
This game was so bad I literally uninstalled it after 5 minutes.
I'm glad I did the try before you buy method.
Please for the love of god....do not buy this game.
It's not even the type of game they can patch to fix. It's broken by design.
How did they manage to screw it up so bad after making Wings of Prey... which was a damn good game.
