OK, Friday is over in Moscow and central Europe now.
Oleg has of course not mentioned Fridays in particular, but, you know, back in 2002-2003 fridays was a real treat! Allways started work with a peek into the UBIZoo. (Wich by the way wasn't a zoo back then) There were at least updates every fortnight and free, totally unexpected patches every now and then that not only implemented fixes but whole new aircraft and objects! Will we ever se such times again? I doubt it. Will Oleg deleiver an astonishing new game before next summer? I think so.

Well, se ya next friday!

Olegs last visit to this forum was august 5th, 2009. At least under his own log-in.

After all; this is an Il-2 forum, and Oleg is not working on Il-2 anymore if I understand him correctly.
All the latest news has been released on SimHQ.
It seems like news are beeing released as interviews on SimHQ, at least until SOW:BOB gets its own homepage.
I'm really curious about why the game hasn't it's own homepage yet. There might be a plethora of plausible reasons.
I still think Oleg ment it when he in november 2008 announced that the homepage would be up before christmas 2008. Why the page has been delayed is one of lifes unanswerd quetions.
I also still think Oleg ment it when he said new pictures would be released in September 2009. So I'll continue to pop in every day to check.

Cheer up guys! Think of all the thing you get done in real life, wich hadn't been done if the game was out!

The thing I was thinking of regarding possible release of 4.09 was this post made Sunchaser on Wednesday over at SimHQ:
Quote: "From a post by Viikate at AAA this morning:
"No... Release candidate 1 was tested lot and there wasn't any issues except few typos in text files. RC2 fixes were send to MG yesterday and it takes them day or two to make the build.""

For all I know, Sunchaser and Viikate might be raving lunatics or a compulsory liars, but it's really not that far fetched that the 4.09 might be released soon. It has been in development for some time.

It would be very nice to see 409 sometime soon. Not sure what "a day or two" translates into in Oleg-time however. Something similar was said prior to a patch that was due after PF and it was the best part of six months. I was thinking more of SOW, I'd put real money down on not seeing anything about that for a good long while yet.

And all the best to Feuerfalke and Proton45. Hope it works out.

Honestly, why in the world should they discuss these things in an open forum?

If they know what was going on here with every single cloud on the sky that could indicate a release or news about a release, you really think they'd choose an open forum to discuss 4.09?

Well, we'll see soon, but I honestly doubt it.

Just read a bit in the original discussion. Sounds promising, but as people mentioned there and on SimHQ: Oleg has the final word on this and he will announce it when ready.

So, even if the patch will be ready today or tomorrow doesn't mean the release or any news are close.

Its one of those strange ones Sunchaser, we all know that the 4.09 patch is being completed by effectively a team of modders overseen by Oleg, we know that Oleg is using modders to help with SOW, however you still cannot discuss mods or put links to mod forums in here because they are satanists.

You posted a link to your source, which is a forum for mods, which again is forbidden. So I was just hoping you don't spoil the news of this pleasant evening and you asured yourself that this comment is legally posted here. After all, this announcement has not take place, yet ;)

[...] only 17 days left, think Oleg will make the deadline? :)

I think it its absoulutely possible that there might come some pictures or info within September.

The game should be more than 90% ready if I have understood things correctly, and thus there should be really a lot to show. But Oleg doesn't show anything, and I'm quite sure he has a good reason for it. I just can't think of what that reason is.
The fact that www.stormofwar.com seem to belong to UBISoft must be a minor problem. Just give the game another name.
What could it be other than that?
Problems with digital rights management or copy protections shouldn't prohibit the release of pictures and videoes.
Could there be some problems between developer and publisher that are yet not sorted out? He still could release some computer specs..

I don't get it. But I have absolutely no knowlegde of what kind of hurdles and problems you have to solve before you start to promote an upcoming game. It seems to me though, as if Oleg has been quite close to starting the PR-work several times, but then has been held back.

September is far from over, so I'm still hoping.

Oops Feuerfalke, my bad, I forgot I posted a link, apologies for that one.

I wonder why the mods are not all over it?
Maybe, since it was a link to a non mod conversation they let it slide?
Maybe they simply do not care as much as you do if a mod comment slips in sometimes?

I wonder how the screenshots forum here, which contains mostly mod related material and discussion escaped your scrutiny?

Maybe you need to take your linking to the rules expertise over there, eh?

I linked to a non mod related topic on a mod site, hang me!

Well, maybe no Oleg shots of the new game but there is sure a whole lot of buzz surrounding the old one.

We cannot mention the pending WWI stuff or the new planes, maps, etc., shown in the screenshot forum as that would be talking about mods so all we got left is the pending OFFICIAL release of 4.09 referred to here:

I could understand it the way things were before, but since development was taken over by 3rd party, IMHO the fundamentation of this ban grows a bit weak. I hope that with the official statement about the patch this will be somewhat lifted or at least no longer prosecuted.
On the other hand, your post didn't alert a mod, so maybe we see some part of this change already taking place?

Lucas From Hell, well actually I am in such a hurry because I would like to see them from here and not your place and I ain't all that young anymore.

Pictures. You're talking about Pictures?!!?? I want MOVIES dammit!

I have to admit I myself will be pretty damn dissappointed if nothing is posted in September. I've been the patient good boy and haven't raised my hackles regarding BoB, but I've been waiting since 2004 when BoB was announced (though it may have been 2003. I THINK it was almost a year from FB's release that BoB was mentioned).

I understand the path a game's developement takes isn't always clear and things happen, but it's time. I know Oleg's stated 'real' developement started in 07, but the game was annonced farther back than that - complete with Hurricaine renderings.

This dog needs a bone..... and this time I want one of those meaty ham hock bones and not a chicken bone.

How much time does it take to post a few pictures?
10 minutes tops.
Such a thing can be done during a lunchbreak or after workhours.
If Oleg is too busy some other employee can do this with Olegs permission.
Maybe even the tea-lady with her famed internets skillz.
Or Oleg could drag a homeless computer programmer off the street and ask the guy to post some ingame pics on the forum for food and half a glas of vodka.
Posting no updates is not a question of lack of time but a deliberate attempt to
annoy tree_uk.
There can not be another reason :!:

IMHO there must be some legal reason why Oleg is effectively showing us nothing, In June Oleg stated the Game was 80% finished so by now it must be well on its way to completion, but we have seen no in game footage since the start of development. You would also think that if the game was nearly finished Oleg would be starting the marketing process but we have seen nothing. On the upside Oleg did say that he expected SOW to go gold before October 2010 its just whether we believe him, the jury is out.

It might be similar to the total blackout that KotS/Rise of Flight went through when they were negotiating with Neoqb. Until everything was signed, absolutely no new information was released and all updates were removed from the KotS page.

It might be a mix of that, and a healthy measure of Oleg Maddox's cold-war work ethic.

While I can't say why he doesn't meet his own personal estimates (note the words PERSONAL and ESTIMATES), there question why he even makes those statements is quite easy to answer: Because that is largely the only question of this community. ;)

In all fairness Feuerfalke, it was Oleg that said he would show In game footage from September on without any prompting, see below posted at Simhq.

I fully understand a estimated guess Feuerfalke and understand a delay can happen...but like i said before some of the stuff Oleg said would happen are NEVER mentioned again...also like Tree said Oleg told us September over 4 months ago...IF SOW is going to be out next year(i dont think so) then he must have a build where he could take a screenie or two...how long would that take...2 mins?...if he cant do that then we are in for a long wait still.

I'm sure work is being done on the sim but the silence only leaves you wondering what is really going on. Oleg has made a habit of not coming through on practically every promise regarding the sim. I kind of wonder if the project really has been canceled for some time now and Oleg and a few of his more devoted team members are trying to finish the project as a indi sim and not let on, maybe out of embarrassement as he doesn't want to let the community/fans down. All of which could be for the lack of updates and so forth. Again its just a thought.

You gotta wonder how that whole Grummun fiasco affected the 1C/UBI relationship. Also we did receive a buncha planes/patches for free. I remember UBI hinting that us flight simmers were spoiled brats. When the bottom line is making a profit you wonder how UBI looked at all those patches.

Oh I believed you. I was just trying to be funny, furbs.

I was at a wedding back in Dec 03. One of the guests looked exactly like the pictures I've seen of Oleg Maddox. He dressed rather European verses the standard U.S. style of dress. He had an accent, but his English was pretty good. Somewhat stilted, but very good none the less. I WAS going to ask him if he was the creator of IL2. The chances being so astronomical I didn't bother. To this day the likeness was so uncanny I kinda wish I asked.

That's two pretty superficial conclusions:

1. Considering Oleg posted several times, that he doesn't have the time to log in from his office-PC to the forums, why do you deny the possibility that he still accesses the forum from another PC and/or without logging in?
I didn't log in over half a year here, but visited the website at least twice a day over that period of time.

2. Just because we sometimes have different opinions on things doesn't mean I wish you something bad. We both have our ideas about things and post them. That's not hatred, that discussing different opinions.

As a veteran of this sort of thing, I'd advise you Not to get your hopes up for this year.

The usual pattern of events is for the content to be submitted to MG. It languishes in their office for an extended period. In the meantime, 3rd party contributors (DT) continue to finish off other content. This makes the release of the original patch seem uneconomical, and it is eventually decided to roll the new content into the current patch as well. The cycle of testing, compiling and waiting begins again.

Personally I don't expect 409 before April 2010.

The lack of updates is disappointing really.
I've seen more updates on the not to be mentioned ever so naughty and ever so forbidden mod sites.
Those good people produced planes and update pictures by the wagonloads. And they DO have other jobs and do this kind of work in their spare time.
Now why can Oleg not be botherd to post a screeny or two here or even on some vague website nobody has ever heard off?
It is part of his job to keep his customers interested in his companies work.
If the good man fails to do so he is not doing his job very well.
It could be wise to start to contact any of Olegs other partners or teamworker to discuss Olegs place in the company.
It is time for revolution! No more Olegs tiranny !!!
free the people free BOB SOW from the evil tirant and his evil plans.
The fact that not a single of Olegs programmers or coworkers have contacted the outside world is a tell tale sign something is wrong in Olegs office.
Those poor people have been taken hostage , enprisoned in their own workplace.
I bet there are dungeons under Olegs office where the poor Maddox team is
forced to work under not so very comfortabele working conditions.
Those poor people are forced to attend to hours long office meetings and hear endless amounts of accounting dialog.

No my fellow pilots it is time to end the horror.
Call the Spetznats the navy seals or even better the famed Dutch marines to finally free the poor Maddox team and end the evil tyranny of Oleg.

@malone
for your info. I was talking praise to the mods people not trying to insult them or commenting on their work.
And I was talking about the lack of info from Oleg about SOW BOB not the patch.
I have the highest regard for the modders and never understood why Oleg was so against the modding people in the first place.( other than online cheating possibilities).
Mods made Oblivion and fallout3 the succes that they are still today.
Most people do not play IL2 online so no problems with mods there.
The modding community either banned by Oleg or allowed with the new patch-team has made IL2 a much better game and deserve more praise by Oleg then they have had till now.
And yes my little calling for revolution against Oleg was a joke not to be taking too seriously. :rolleyes: like duh.

That's ok
No worries
I've been designing real aircraft for more then 25 years now so I know how it feels when people comment on your work.

Reggiane does raise a good point though in that we hear nothing at all from Oleg's team, if there is one. We know that Ilya (Oleg's right hand man) has moved to America which is strange if we believe what Oleg has told us that SOW will be released within a year. To lose such a key man at such a crucial time must hurt somewhat. Apart from Ilya and a mention from Oleg of some nameless modders, who else is actually working on the project fulltime?

tree that is exactly the point I was trying to make.
(almost)All of the BOB SOW info we got sofar was from Oleg himself not from anyone else.
I have no idea how big the company is but as there has been no leakage at all from Olegs team for so many years one could be lead to believe that either BOB SOW is a one man effort :shock: OR Oleg keeps his crew under a very serious
embargo NOT to let ANY details of the game slip.

As English is my 5th language I was unable to communicate this properly to poor old bigbossmalone my apologies if I did not get the message across well enough.

no worries reggiani - like I said, when I read it initially it just looked like you were letting rip in a big way, but after a few more reads, its probably not that bad...
Some (most) of your points are pretty valid, but I just felt the attacking Oleg part was a bit heavy-handed.
All good, though, please carry on and never mind me...I'm still trying to work off last nights hangover, as well, which probably doesn't help....

this had a 'ring' of truth for a while, because of several factors which I won't go into now ..... but the project is steaming along nicely now. Finally ....

It has become apparent to me that Oleg is a Con artist. People like Tree and Furbs and Reg see this stone cold reality, because they are not blinkered by the EPIC FOG OF BROWN NOSERY.:grin:

Perhaps Oleg is not a Con artist, and perhaps he will come on here and defend himself. Then again, perhaps wombles will fly, back to their homeland of Timbuktoo.

Revolution is in the air.:grin::grin::grin:

If my memory serves me right (wich it actually increasingly seldom does) Oleg said sometime ages ago that 4.09 would not be released untill SOW:BOB had reached a certain stage of development.
I think it is fair to assume that SOW:BOB now has reached that certain stage. Whatever stage that is.
That should clear things up, I guess!!

Really Oleg is in the wrong business he should never have been in the sim making game at all!
The man should have been a top ranking spy for the russian secret service.
I mean if he would ever get caught he would under no amount of verbal torture let any usefull information out to anyone! :cool:

I am not dissing Oleg I have the greatest respect for the man that produced the best flight sim ever made until this day.
My semi-funny comments are just me venting my frustration for the lack of more information and the wait for BOB SOW to be finally in the stores.

And of course I am trying in vain to intice the man to post the mother of all updates here to prove us all wrong. But alas I have yet been unsuccesfull.

I thought Oleg said he wouldn't finish 4.09 until after SOW, because he was too busy. Anyway i'm going to forget about SOW, its quite clear its years away.

Tree, are you saying that you were wrong on the "march 2010" (or was it april?) estimate??? NOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Well, nevermind, I'm actually having really fun with 4.09. Seriously. I'll continue the nagging, whining and bitching about SOW-BOB on monday.

Actually I believe he said that he couldn't spend time on the patch til "SoW" was practically done...but sense "Team Daidalus" did much of the work, I'm not sure that the comment still applies.

You are probably better off forgetting about "SOW"...you really do seem to have a problem with waiting. I'll bet you drove your parents crazy; "when do we get their?", "You said I could eat at McDonalds!", "your a hypocrite...".

You should just sit back and enjoy the new patch....Its all just part of life. ;)

I'm really starting that my last post a couple of pages back may be correct.
That the project really has been canceled for some time now and Oleg and a few of his more devoted team members are trying to finish the project as a indi sim and not let on, maybe out of embarrassment as he doesn't want to let the community/fans down. All of which could be for the lack of updates and so forth. Anyone in the know (cough cough Oleg or anyone working on the sim) please tell me I'm wrong and that September hasn't actually arrived in Russia yet. In any case why another broken promise?

Coming from you, the "one note wonder" thats really funny... shouldn't you be calling me an "ass kisser" or something? Or maybe you should complain about the "lack of up-dates" again...we have not heard that one for at least 5 minutes. :)
