Well, I voted yes, but by a different reason:

Aerobatic planes and/or Racers

They were too civilian... yes, there is FS for civilians, but FS never achieved a so good flight model like Il-2 has.

Remember that SOW:BOB comes with a long awaited civilian plane inside: the Su-26

Historial period planes are always welcome. And many were used in support roles like transport, liason, recon, medical evacuation, training etc. So they are always usefull for online or offline campaign. Anyway there are much needed combat planes that i think needs priority, but as always is up to the modders who spend their times and talent for free.

Not quite civilian, but a great pic

If I have my choice between getting NECESSARY planes to complete plane sets like:

Helldiver
Devistator
Avenger
Nick
Judy
USS Yorktown
IJN escort carriers
Do 17
Ju 52 bomber varient
exc ...

versus unarmed civilian airliners ... I will take the above any day. If civil stuff is your thing, all the best too you, but I would much rather see some key missing planes finished before this. And like a poster above stated, if you want to fly civil planes, go play MS Flight simulator. IL2 is a combat simulator. Not trying to tick anyone off, I just don't feel civil planes have much use in this sim outside of a couple of single missions or for eye candy. Or maybe I should say they don't fit into the bread and butter of this sim which is:

1) Online combat
2) offline campaign

This will accomplish neither. Sorry to be blunt. I am tired and this is how I feel

I understand what you mean I have FSX myself but it's frankly, rather boring. IL2 has the best game engine out of all the flight simulators out there. And it would be nice if a could fly my airliners without falling asleep due to boredom.
