Folks anticipating the next big update for the IL-2: Great Battles Series will need to wait a bit longer for some new content while the developers work on some last minute details. Here’s what we know.

A short delay

IL-2’s Executive Producer, Jason Williams, went on the forums this evening to indicate that update 4.603 would be delayed. Here’s what he said,

I apologize, but we need to delay the 4.603 update a short while as we work out last minute issues. We had hoped to have it out tomorrow, but it’s better we delay a short bit. Hopefully, just a day or two. Hang in there.

The delay doesn’t sound particularly long or worrisome but instead seems to indicate that some small issue probably cropped up during last minute testing.

I am always of the opinion that it’s better to delay a patch than to release one on an artificial schedule and cause a lot of problems. We’ve seen that recently with another simulator and I think it’s always better to wait.

Update 4.603 does contain quite a few updates and four pieces of new content that Flying Circus Vol 2 and Tank Crew Collector Vehicle owners are going to really like.

Stay tuned for updates!
