by all indications BoB is well on track and will be released in the next few months, if you dont like the previews being posted how about you just piss off and only return in september when it is going to be on the shelves

for anybody with half a brain it is obvious oleg is just posting some selected previews of specific items at the moment to keep us informed and start building some expectation in the fan base, but is not showing enough to give a true indication of BoB in all its glory yet so he doesnt give to much away to the competition either (no terrain detail, no final textures and color schemes, only a few selected objects, limited info on dynamic campaign engine...)

since we already know 80 or 90% of individual components of the game are finished already (plane and ground models, campaign engine, weather effects, maps...etc) and oleg skips the alpha phase completely by then integrating these nearly finished elements directly into a beta stage product for fine tuning and testing, i would say we are very well on track for having "1000's of people flying BoB by the anniversary of BoB in 2010" as oleg stated himself recently (meaning september 2010 i presume)

and Oleg is holding back on all the great stuff so that the competition wont nick all is work, can I ask what competition we are talking about here? Is it WOP per chance owned by Maddox games?

I assume the gun is synchronized with the propeller.

To give credit where it's due, much as i dislike certain aspects of that sim i have to say that Rise of Flight is very good on sounds, almost excellent in fact. If you haven't tried it, it's worth getting the demo for the sounds alone and to be more precise, for the way you can use the sound to help you fly the aircraft.

Before engine start if you move your stick you can hear the noises made by the controls and linkages moving. These are drowned out by the usual engine and gun sounds in normal operation, which are well done as well.

The thing i found most impressive though is the sounds of the open cockpit. If you are flying in a normal fashion and looking straight ahead, you're behind the windshield and the noise is low. If you move your head to lean left or right however (via TrackIR or the default view controls), you'll immediately notice that the wind noise is much higher. Wind noise also increases as you speed up, so in a 250km/h dive it almost overshadows the engine. Also, even if you are perfectly aligned with the windshield, if you side-slip the air is coming at you from the sides and once again, you get increased wind noise. All this makes it possible after some practice to fly the aircraft by sound, without looking at the instruments at all.
