Forum - 72a Squadriglia Caccia

4. Has it been decided yet, what’s to be offered during early access this autumn?

Yes and these plans are already being worked at. All details will be released later by mid-autumn.

7. My squad is toо afraid to commit to a pre-order due to system requirements not being posted, when will system requirements be up for display? so we know whose PC will or will not play this game, as it is we all can fly ROF with minimum problems. Please show system requirements soon, so we know, and then know to pre order or not.

I agree that system requirements are really important. We’ll announce them shortly. We are trying to make them reasonable and similar to what we currently have for ROF, but not all effects and programming are completed so a final set of specs is premature to announce. Thank you for your trust and enthusiasm.

6. Will the first early access release in autumn already include an early version of the single-player campaign? If so: can unlockable items already be unlocked by playing it? If so: will players keep their unlocked items or will there be a reset at the full release in spring?

Maybe, but we haven’t set any particular dates yet. Surely it’s not new bugs that we invite you to see. Some early access events will let you test and try unlocks, some will be all about earning them in a pre-determined way. Of course, we won’t save all your progress, but to those especially active and helpful players some presents and bonuses may be given: unlocks or even something totally exclusive.

So does this mean we can not expect to get early access in the first half of autumn?

Mid-Autumn is the approximate time at the moment.

Is mid autumn mid September?

Mid-Autumn is mid October.
But this is the approximate time!

Later this week we'll be announcing some news about the pre-order including details about dates

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.
