so i guess a September release, for the BOB anniversary is obviously scrapped, guess it'll be 2011 now.. and then 2012, and then the world ends

I am too afraid that is the case. So much "graphic engine" changes and not having even the SoW BoB site going... plus the IL-2 4.10 delayed like forever... is a good sign 2011 and beyond is the target.

I would imagine this time next year would be more realistic, the ubisoft owned url stormofwar.com runs out in December having reached its 7 year life span so maybe Oleg is waiting for that before he gets the promotional ball rolling.

I supose in 10 years Oleg wll tell us the real story of what happened to BOB, whether or not it ever gets released. I bet some bad things happened and it almost fell apart several times.. it's probably spent most of it's time on the back burner and life support..

P-61 Black Widow flight walk through.

Imagine that routine every flight.

I dare any screaming foaming mouthed plane start up fanatic to do this every sortie.

or even remember 20 minutes of detailed startup procedure.

perhaps oleg knows what he's doing.......

the same thing, this time for the B26.

Not a friendly airplane.

As to the "start-up fanatics" , just remember that the crew or the pilot usually comes to
a pre-flighted, warmed up airplane, not 20 min. say 2 to 3 min. start-up procedure.
And even less in a scramble!!!!

and the P-39.

I figure you get the idea, and the source, by now.

happy viewing.

so, before every flight in a new aircraft in SoW, set aside 20 - 30 mins then.... if you're a fast learner ;).

and clearly in remote airfields, you have... "all the comforts of home."

yeah.

nice try.

but, no.

and, by second visit, you're telling me pilots dont pre-flight aircraft before every flight?

they just run up and fly away as per the movies?

without EVER... let me say that again... EVER... checking their mounts?

no.

just no.
