Dear Plots,
The long-awaited autumn has come to Moscow bringing nasty, windy weather, cold rains and…some serious news that you've been waiting for.
Thanks to the enthusiasm and support that you have shared during the pre-order program, our IL2:BOS project has grown and matured greatly. At this time we would like to express special appreciation to the Founders, those of you who have given us a hand when we truly needed it. The pre-order program as described on the official site will continue on in October until the autumn early access period begins. The exact date will be announced soon. With the beginning of the early access phase the early access pre-order program will shut down. After that we’ll publish the retail price for Standard and Premium editions of IL2:BOS as well as further details about the product.
Until then you’re welcome to continue pre-ordering the game and receive access to all guaranteed bonuses and other Founder privileges. We've prepared a special gift for everyone who will have purchased a pre-order before it expires. The gift is the R7 weapon modification for Bf.109F-4 - 2х20mm MG151/20 gun pods that you’ll obtain in the game when it’s released. Note that this mod is unique and will only be available by preordering the game and joining the IL2BOS Founders.
Today in Dev blog #34:
IL2BOS team is preparing to present the game to Russian gaming press for the first time during the up-coming national game convent Igromir-2013

And also the record of the latest live stream with developers has been published with English captions. This time the devs tell about features of night time gameplay and new light effects.

This time it features a story by Daniel Tuseev, 1CGS Project manager, who tells about the evolution of flight models since older flight sim games and the key advanced features of IL2BOS flight model particularly. Also a pack of brand new screenshots with ground vehicles on them has been released.
