Even if i have confidence on Maddox Games, because they have IL-2 as an example of what they can acomplish, Tree have some very valid points. If you think a little, assuming a release on the end of 2010, which means beginning of December of current year, you have 11 months ahead. If you add to that probably a couple of months of beta testing with external beta testers, you have left nine months. Don´t know if it will be released in a box or only online, but if we will get a boxed release, you can add another month for copy and distribution of the game, leaving you eight months.
Eight months, if you want a well finnished and polished sim, its a very short time left for developing since most of that time you will need it for puting all together, polishing and developing missionsm campaigns, GUI, and internal testing of the game.
So, not knowing how advanced is the sim, for what it has been showed so far, and expecting a sims at least as polished as IL-2 was when it was released (one of the most polished sims ever released, but that still lacked work on some things), i would have to agree with Tree that its hard to beleive in a release this year. The only thing that plays against that is the Oleg stated that he must release the sim this year.
