Just found this post by Oleg himself in his "Ready Room"...

 

Info about Aces Expansion Pack

 

Post Reads...

 

"I can't tell you when.... Probably already very soon (will be officially anounced)

 

But I can tell you that there are finally 29 (not 20 like officially anounced in the past) new flyable aircraft and 7 AI, 9 campaigns, 4 online campaigns (completely new feature), 33 single missions, 10 coop missions.

 

It is possible to install over any of FB version.

 

Witht he release of AEP we also will release free expansion for AEP with several more aircraft: at least 2 flyable and 4 AI.

 

We did also more protection against theoretically possible online cheaters.

 

So, finally we have 112 flyables in FB + AEP.

We did for all "missed" in the past important flyable aircraft the complex damage model.

And we have over 150 aircraft in total...

 

Please name me any other flight sim that has the same amount and equal quality of all planes

I'm happy myself. :)

 

Will be more later."

 

I KNEW they would add more aircraft...WOOHOO! :D

These ships are made for use on European maps for creation of new missions. Ex.: Destroyer type 7/1944 is intended to be used for the allied forces and M-Boat – for Germany.

In the View Object menu, text information is not present for every new model or object, because some of them were included as a bonus in the last moment.

Anxiously waiting for this one. COuld be released tomorrow or the next day I heard. Cant wait to try out the P38 and Mustangs.

It'll be interesting to try to "tip" a V-1 out of its trajectory. It'll be neat to see a condor, FW-200, in flight too.
