The fort image is out of 2006. The only really new screenshot is the skinned Emil. We've never seen before in that high resolution.

Learning the expected time of release was enough for me for now. With a whole year plus to wait, I'm sure that we will receive more info as we get closer along. The really big question that I had, was the WHEN and now I know.:)

Considering these comments, I really hope Oleg will remain silent until the game is close to release and officially announced.

I honestly can't understand why he keeps in touch with a community that blasts all statements to hell, bashes his work and calls him inapt in producing this sim.

Couldn't agree more.

WHHIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEE.

Feuerflake, in general I agree in most of your comments, but here you are being aggressive for no reason. You become what you don't like :P
The whole community is not only you or me or whoever gets in your nerves, don't forget this.

And actually, we all agree that Oleg should have either given some real information, or just tell that he can't offer any additional information and talk about other things.
There is no one who actually got the slightest important new information from this interview.
I don't mind about this, and as I've said several times, it's better if he doesn't reveal important information till he's close to the release (which is not close - that's why he doesn't offer any information).

All in all, we should all calm and enjoy what we have right now: IL-2, the best combat flight simulator ever.

S!

Frankly this community is hopeless.

Rather than pine away the next year or so last night I downloaded the mod pack (1Gb) (for the second time!) only to find that one of the files had been corrupted when I was installing it. (For the second time!!!! Unfortunately the installer didn't tell me which of the 8 files was corrupted ~~:{) ****Edit finally got non-corrupted files and got them installed :) ****)

First thing I did when I left work today was drop by a game shop and picked up a copy of DCS: Black Shark. (And by the way got told off by my wife for wasting money on another Bloody airplane game! Thank you very much!!! (Hey babe, ya know I love ya but it's IMPORTANT for me!))

Darned if you do, darned if you don't, darned if you won't

Well if you think about it Oleg is in a hard place. First if he says anything about the game other than what's been said in the past he will be under the microscope from this community. If he doesn't say anything like he did in the article he can't come under fire.

That's part of the problem with the genre. Expectations are pretty high with this game so I think he just need to concentrate on getting out the door. The other side to that coin is the publisher that's paying for this development might have him under a tight leash. Our genre isn't the most popular nor is it the big money maker people here in the forums would like to think.

Let's just hope the guy gets it out the door soon. My guess is they will push for Christmas this year.
