So....does anyone know when it will be released?

Feel free to answer here, or I can just start another thread.

On second thought, maybe I'll just do that anyway.

No one knows, or if they do they aren't saying.

This site is the pipe to the developer... so you'll get the information first here, when it is available.

Why is it pointless? Really? People have spent the last 2 months on this forum arguing about the current situation with this sim and about when we can expect to see it. With the greatest respect I really can't see why some people are getting so worked up about asking Oleg for information.

Your point seems to be that it won't make the game come out any faster. I agree. But that was never the reason for asking. It's solely a request for information. Are you people really saying that you're not interested?? or are you just affecting cool indifference?

Feuerfalke, it's not a sign of disrespect to Oleg. Obviously this is a MUCH bigger deal for the developers than for any of us. No-one is being disrespectful to Oleg or making demands as to what he should do, or passing judgement. I'm not anyway. God knows the stress and sweat that has gone into getting this sim to this stage over all these years.

But it seems obvious, I think, that the schedule has unfortunately slipped once again. That's not a criticism or a whinge by the way - just an acknowledgement that in the real world even the best laid plans sometimes don't work out. I (like the rest of us) have been keeping my fingers crossed for months that we'd see this thing by September.

If, as seems likely, that isn't to be the case it really is not that big a deal. We can all wait a bit longer and continue to support this great sim.

But, really, what is the problem about respectfully asking the only people who really know?

edit: now that a request for info has been made (thanks Tree) I agree it is up to the developers to choose whether they feel the time is right. I acknowledge that they may have good reasons for deciding not to. Given that, I won't be commenting on this subject any more. Respect.

Oleg has learned the hard way. He decided long ago to only release information about releases on his schedule.

Everyone can whine, complain and rant until they have blue faces. It won't change anything.

I'm not relating to anyone specifically. Everyone, including myself, would love to read news of the SOW "gone gold".

Best solution I can think of --- find something else to do and only drop by every day or so. Read a few posts that might relate and move onto something else that is more productive. You can't change things by posting complaints or other disappointments.

The TD will probably be releasing the 4.10 soon. I can tell from the list of stuff they have prepared it will definitely be an improved IL2. The IL2 is still the best WW2 air combat flight simulation game available. It's not a dog by any means, it's just not up to the newer standards we are looking forward to in SOW.

Maybe some of the people who accuse others of whining should try reading their own posts once in a while...

then reconsider who is actually whining.

As far as I can tell everything is on track for the 75th anniversary. I don't see what the problem is.

Please dont edit my post Eries, I have pm'd you about this and have asked you to pm all your snide childish comments to me directly, the forum users shouldn't have to read your bitter childish crap, personally i find it slightly entertaining, however when you consider that you have only made 50 posts since joining this forum and well over half of them are directed to me or in response to my posts you have to wonder why you are here at all? I will pm you my address if you wish so you can stalk me properly, or alternatively you could always feck off. No offence of course.

I know. My post was tongue-in-cheek considering the nature of this thread.

I have no expectations. It arrives when it arrives.
