This would be far better than pictures and endless better than no update.
I know we all apreciate it and will keep in mind that it is old middle of summer videos (2010?).


Does new office also mean that you got new hardware? Directx 11 card that is also able to do anti anti-aliasing and stuff?

Hearing you say that Luthier has a crossfire or Sli system makes me wonder if screenshots postet by him were not low/mid range.

It's really good to hear from you Oleg. I know Storm of War will be worth the wait.

cheers and good health to you

One is the Developer, another is the Publisher; they are distinguished subjects and only in some cases the two coincides...

Fair point - nowhere has Ubisoft said that they wouldn't be publishing it. However, since 2006 when they announced the product in the first place, they haven't said a single thing. Furthermore some forum members did try and contact their marketing/PR department a few times (perhaps a year or two ago now) and they had never heard of the product so it's not on their radar either.

I suspect Ubisoft parted ways a long time ago and it just wasn't worth their mentioning in public. Or I suppose they could be sort of a second tier publisher and will redistribute for 1C? Not sure if that happens or if Ubisoft would even do that?

You know, I much prefer disagreeing with you over world politics than agreeing with you on this kind of post :). But, once again you are exactly right.

I would rather get a verbal description of the game play than new screen shots. Heck, even what Oleg has said today is tantamount to a weekly update in my eyes. Anything more is just icing on the cake.

An older video, if found, would be great but I can see people who did not read the end of this thread criticizing it. I WANT the video, but it's not worth that IMHO.

The parameters being checked by SoW lead me to believe this program will simulate "flight" very well....much like other flight sims that are out there currently. My worry with that is the impact on performance and frame rate, but I am sure they are doing everything possible to optimize the code so hopefully my worries are unfounded.

I can see myself and others having to learn to fly airplanes in the Oleg simulation world all over again which is EXCITING! If this things combines a true flight sim with the combat elements promised...well, it will be heaven.

Maybe Battlefront

Great game and really good compagny for the support etc

I'm curious to see that video to, but i will prefer to see your work now :)

Sry again for the english

Per aircrafts!?! Wow!

How dies this compare to the last IL2 version you published yourself (4.08 I believe). How many parameters running simultaniously there?

My curiosity as to who the publisher is just overwhelmed me as I have nothing better to right now, so here goes a few that maybe someone here CAN answer

why exactly is it that most people doubt that Ubi will be the publisher?
(I have apparently not been lurking around here long enaugh:)

what possible reason would any publisher have to not announce what games they are going to release in the near future?

and lastly; did I read Oleg right when he said that he was not allowed to say who the publisher is, or did he mean that he will tell us when he knows who will publish?

anywho, I'm greatly appreciative of the Friday updates, and looking forward to check if my track-clip is mounted correctly on my cap just after I've bought 2 months worth of supplies and welded my door shut while this game installs;)

It sounded to me like he cannot announce the publisher until the final deal is finalized. I know nothing, just going by my interpretation of what he said.

Ubisoft was the previous publisher and I think some people found dubious evidence of their plans to publish SoW.

I'm not one of the old timers here so someone else may chime in to answer your questions more thoroughly.

In his statment "The 1c team have their own testers" who are obviously putting the game through its pacesm I would be very surprised ifr 1c is not the distributer :)
