Expect it in the next two weeks :)

Does Rachel Hunter count?

Sure does! I'ld listen to anything Rachel Hunter told me! Of course I can't guarantee I'ld be looking above the mantle peice!

Rachel ;)

Hi Nike remember posting this in mid February ? Did we ever get the update?

Maybe we did.I can't even remember anymore.

I'll ask Oleg, but it's up to his wish;) can't promise anything.

There is so many updates and websites and interviews that don't happen its very hard to keep track these days. Could we simplify things by only announcing updates etc, when there actually is one. Just a thought.

Thanks for the update about the possible update :grin:

Does anybody here still believe in a 2009 release, or are you thinking that my prediction in August 2008 of a March 2010 release is looking more likely?

Link to Thread ------> http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=3629

I say Xmas 2010. Early 2010 seems waaay to close to me.

I just hope I won't have had the time to :

- finish my studies,
- marry my girlfriend
- get a job,
- get kids
- go in retirement

before this game is released :P

Yep unfortunately I'm with you on this one Oktoberfest, i think my prediction of March 2010 is looking way off, i'm sticking my neck out now and going for a January 2011 release.

Bah, I have to see it from the good point of view. At least, I will be able to discover the game with my future son when he will be around 8 - 9 years old the day it'll be released :D And we can enjoy the game together while expecting the next addon... That will come out for his 18th birthday :D

:rolleyes:

Christmas this year.

Good luck with that! :)

I'm with you El. I prefer to live in hope than worry myself sick over it. Aging will do that on its own. :)

Haven't you forgotten something? Or are you going to live forever? :grin:

Living in hope is so yesterday, come the revolution we will live with no hope!

Actually the no hope-wave ended with the 80s. Now is the age of moarning complain. Seems a lot of people are already there.

We need a really good update to boost morale around here. A short vidio would do nicely for me

I thought we were in the age of 'Brown nosed Know it all's'! :-P:-P

Sounds like a good poll.

Are you:
(a) a No-Hoper
(b) a Brown nosed Know it all
(c) an Optimist
(d) someone with too much time on their hands


I'ld pick c or d!

Cheers!

Yes good idea, hmmm well let me see, i am definitely not a 'no hoper' because i think BOB will come out, 'Brown nosed know it all' nope not me. An optimist, not really, more realist. So i will go with (d) someone who clearly has too much time on their hands.

Due to the inordinate amount of pessimism and the self-proclaimed prophets who have as much clue as the rest of us, this thread sucks.

What it needs to complete the wheel of diversity (and to elevate the gloom and doom aura that's stagnating this forum), I post....

Chimp Humor...that makes everyone laugh.

BoB relase info

:grin::grin::grin::grin::grin: Excellent

Re: BOB Release
 

KG26,
Finally a real bit of info! That is awesome. Finally a non Poser Posting of dribble. I notice several small details if the site is not yet pulled:

1. Clickable cockpits
2. Hot swappable positions whilst in flight
3. Multiplay capable - internet love
4. Customizable paint options
5. Better cruize control auto settings for long dist travel
6. Option of switching to land based asset controls
7. Co pilot slot too small to large to fit our svelt Mr FlyBy - he can still man the battlestations
8. The release date is in the end of 2010
9. Current engines and hardware capable of high performance speeds
10. I see some love budding (looks like springtime) ...hard to get too excited
till it is on our streets (if it makes it).
11. Looks like Adult love possible, compared to the kiddie type in Rise of Frlight


Peace

who you callin FAT?! It's on (again)!! :D :D
Well, at least you said "Mr"
Flyby out

Hi Strangler,
Long time no see. After I posted I thought it might be offensive, but what I meant was the co-pilot must be obese and short - definately not you. So it was a compliment, lest you prefer....???

Did you ck out the vid or has it been taken down by BOB yet?

Peace

hey Spudley
 

My bad there. I misread what you wrote. Guess I thought I was used to having to shoot my way out when it came to you ( I mean that in a good way ;) ) Sadly I'm no longer svelt! :D but thanks for offering that up. One day we'll hook up in the virtual skies (friend or foe?)! :)
Flyby out

bROTHERS in armS
 

Dear Pseudogaurax-Fly,
Yes as Mum always said...you are the smart one...whilst I am the joker so in that vein and to her tribute:

Sir when that day comes it will be my pleasure to fry wit you. Let's not wait til SOW release as we will likely be Simon Said. That being said if you will lay off the Frankey so you can keep your Germans steady on the stick ...with a lil bit of Friar Tuck I am sure you will be aerating my tail and flaming my Angina.

Peace out Sir

Sir Spud Knight of the Three Legged Coffee Table

Peace!

Olegs News
 

Oleg

I check this forum everyday for some new update in OLEGS NEWS. For 3 months I have been very sad. Maybe a new screen shot? I would like very much to see the spit or the 109...thank you!

Good luck with that one mate, should be a SimHQ interview in the next few days though.

Hi Nike any news on the early February update?

Unfortunately no:( When it is ready it will immediately appear here.

Ok mate, thanks for trying anyway Nike. :(:(

come on, men!
 

pls, just a pic, i don't care of what, only post a pic. Just a pic of whatever . Pls men.

this has become so pathetic...

When you are not able to get something done (the new interview) just don't even mention it. What was the point to, AGAIN, stir up expectations in the first place when you can't hold up to it?

Just release news when you have them ready and don't give any nonsense "two weeks" estimates you can't guarantee anyways. It discredits you as a developer and only upsets future customers.

Unfortunately i have to agree, it seems crazy to me to announce an update or a new website and then to do simply nothing!! Yeah i know we got to be patient but a little bit of truth would not go amiss once in a while.

You have to agree?


Honestly even Zorin does not agree with himself.

He wants and update and wants it exactly when it is announced, but he does not want an update at all, if there is none. Now what? There is none, so why play cry baby? - Your requests were met!

Besides, may I remind you that guod from SimHQ, who caused the delay? How could Oleg possibly know that guod announced the interview and then sent him additional questions before he finished the first series of questions?

I was referring to the update we were told was going to happen from Nike in early February, and also to the SOW website that would hopefully be finished by the end of December. Also i think you completely missed his point, he said why post that there will be an update soon if there isn't going to be one. try and re-read his post and i'm sure you will begin to understand. Probably a language thing.

Okay a full month and a half has come and gone and still silence. The last real update posted on this forum was in December "Development update 2008-12-31"That is three months of silence on a game suposedly coming out this year. It was not even mention in the 2009 Game Developers Conference®.

I suspect something has gone very, very wrong for Maddox Games. This is the behavior of a company in crisis. Certainly not the actions of a thriving company on the verge of something big. Most likely the money has all but run out, and key personel have been lost. I don't expect Maddox Games to survive much beyond the next twelve months if they can't produce anything by then. The numbers are too much against them. :(

Imaginations running wild, again ;-)

South Park was funny last night...poor Butters (lol).

Guys, please stop speculating about the update. You all know even better then me that developing such big and complex project as BoB takes a lot of time and strength. If Oleg doesn't place an update, it only means that he has other more important duties. The update will appear sooner or later, so please keep patience and let Oleg make the game as good as possible, in the end he is the main person who is interested in presenting final product of highest quality, which was always a distinguishing feature of IL-2 series.

amen :)

Well said sir.

hear hear

Oleg is a little to blame here, because he promised up-dates like the old days, every week or two. But I know that things change, and sh/t happens.

Understood slipball, and I wish info would be made available too.... but the nelly neighbobs of negativism were running the roost again.

I don't blame Oleg, as I'm sure he has always done his best.


Development must have been going okay up until about 18 months or so ago when OM made the official announcement of being in a position to provide regular updates again (SiMHQ carried a sticky of this for about a year). After that, things became very quiet indeed. As much as I don't want to admit it, for fear it may be true; it really does seem like after this point, some unforseen event has pushed the development schedule far back again.

Somewhere following Oleg's statement that SoW "has to be " released in 2007 (see his video interview with MysticPuma) and the recent interview where he says work didn't begin in earnest until 1946 was released, there is that grey area where SoW's development history to date seems to have been rewritten.

I hope one day Oleg will write his tell-all autobiograhy and say what really happened. I would sure make for one Hell of a read!

Maybe Oleg and the development team have a bet on the date that the 1000th "Where is the Update?" thread will be posted!

Hopefully they will split the pool with the person that makes the post!

Hmmm! Time to start a new thread!

Yes, can we all please stop asking where the promised updates/websites are, we should all learn not to chase any news that is posted here because it only distracts Oleg from his work.
Everyone should learn to trust Oleg without question, and if he says work on SOW started in 2007 then it clearly did, anything before 2007 was clearly implanted in our brains by Aliens. Now lets start a new thread we could call it 'The Oleg Maddox Room' and use it for asking questions about updates and websites and stuff.

Just for the record, I'm not interested in updates. SoW is still so far off that I find them irrelevant. I agree that they should save their energy and keep at it. I can do without another brace of blue-screen wip images taken from their object viewer.

Let's look at the first post in this thread.

Maybe after 186 pages this thread has become too large to follow the request "read the messages before posting". Maybe it's time for some dedicated person to make a summary of the questions asked (and any answers given) and restart the thread.

Hmm, I was at a CRM conference last week. As always - there where discussions about identifying "who is your customer?". Another one was "Open books - share information with your customers".

How's it going 1C?

/Mazex

LoL....Right on cue! ;)

100% Agree, I wonder if that something was 'BOP'? I know we have been told that OM and team had no involvement with it but with the recent nonsense we have been fed its difficult to know what to believe!

To be honest with Rise of Flight going into closed beta, I am sure we will get nothing until that game is out.
The quality of Rise of flight is awesome and my guess is the SOW engine is not as up-to-it as we were lead to believe...
Pointless showing ingame footage if it cannot compare to Rise of flight.
If the rise of flight engine is a success, who knows maybe SOW will convert to it????
Just stirring the pot

More uninformed speculation.

Oh joy.

:rolleyes:

Well, it's hard to belive making an update every 2nd month at least would take any time, beside he could probably take 10 min of his spare time to go in and post or cheer up some fans here @ ubi or at simhq.

It certainly ain't a good sign that we basically never get updates and we've yet not even seen any gameplay of the game at all, except for the 1946 behind the scenes...the argument of saying his to busy just ain't holding up. Im not whining i am infact very patient but just stating the obvious, something ain't right.

Uninformed speculation is the best you can hope for on this site :grin::grin::grin:
