I think we may aswell use this one to be honest as there really isn't enough of a difference to warrant its own thread, I'd class it as DLC really.
Not sure if its live or not, i'm guessing it goes live at the end of the month, thats when they usually update.

Not played BOS in a while. I will have another go when the Spring/Summer map comes out.

This is mainly why I havent put as many hours in as I'd like, the snow just ***** my eyes up after a short while.

guys, summer and autumn maps should be availiable in todays patch which is up now, and also:
Cheers for the heads up, I've not played BOS for about 4 months (having spent about 2 hours in it in total), but will try it again

Well the summer map looks great, will definitely make me want to jump back into this more often!

Just updating now.
Just seen this on youtube LOL!

Just tried it! The summer map is nice to have, but for me the biggest deal breakers are still there. One being the lagging hit flashes so I never know where my shots are landing, and also the lackluster single player campaign.
The first problem in particular made BOS a nice take off and landing sim (the physics of the planes are SUPERB!), but even the quick dogfighting mode is jarring and cringy as it just lacks the satisfaction factor of old IL2 where you see the enemy take your bullets around the engine, the canopy, the wings etc... In BOS every hit appears well BEHIND the plane that you're shooting at.

Still much prefer Cliffs of Dover over this.

Have you tried it with Team Fusion mod?
Its that good that its going to be released as standalone.

Or you can mod the game from Team fusion website.

Team Fusion is all I play
Standard Cliffs of Dover is rubbish.Been away on a holiday so late reply, but the thing with Cliffs is it has massive amounts of pop-up. If team fusion sorts it out then it could a super sweet alternative to IL2:Stalingrad and DCS (with inferior physics of course, but CLoD has some advantages too).
You'll never see anything like this in IL2:Stalingrad, DCS or Rise of Flight.

Incredible!First flight in the upcoming IL2: Battle of Kuban (or Cliffs of Kuban as it's known
Cant wait for this in VR as its my go to flying sim now.
We'll see how this compares to the beautiful DCS Normandy, but it should be much better in VR as Normandy is absolute dog in VR (30fps is the norm in VR on my rig on any med-highish settings). I think DCS could turn out better in the (very haha) long run, but for now IL2 is just much more complete - better damage modelling with identical flight physics modelling, much superior hit flash effects and explosions, better optimised in general and for VR in particular.
