Už o tom nahlas šuškali i vrabci na střeše. A dnes k večeru se to stalo. Je venku aktualizace IL-2 Great Battles Series s pořadovým číslem 5.107. A zde jsou hlavní novinky. Do Flying Circus Vol.III jsou zde dva dvouplošníky. Hanriot HD.1 a Nieuport 17 GBR. Období z 2. světové války můžete po zaplacení doplnit o sovětskou stíhačku La-5F series 38 a nebo o novou historickou statickou kampan od Jaegermeistera „Overlord“. Celý seznam je zde (v angličtině):

Za mě dobrý. Kariéra by mohla být opět o kousek zajímavější a pestřejší. Uvidíme. Další obsah je o placení. A to už jsem zde psal několikrát. Dokud nepadne verdikt, co bude dál s IL-2 Great Battles Series, moje penízky se budou těšit na jiné věci.
