i re-read it, and replaced "accurate and truthfull" with "correct" in one sentence. aside from that i dont see anything inaccurate or specifically rude in my post.
btw, i dont think most of the long term il2 fans here have a problem with BoB not being released yet. if that is the amount of time it takes for a dedicated and professional software team to make the next quantum leap in ww2 flightsim for the pc, thats fine by most of us. sure to some extent we are all impatient to get onto the next fairground ride, but that is normal human emotional enthusiasm and is not the issue here.
the problem is that the current fan base is not being managed very well. for a long time since the 1946 release we have been sustained by our faith in oleg only, but that has been in a complete vacuum of information. then on october 15 2007 oleg posted in this new 1c forum ...

after that revival for a while there seemed to be semi regular BoB news and new screenshots posted, which has wet our appetite again and increased expectations of further updates.
then we had again a large unexplained silent period for several months, where from 03-21-2008 till yesterday nothing new was posted in updates by oleg or his team (which is almost 3 months ago).
suddenly this week we discover indirectly and completely out of the blue that a new game under the name of il2 is being released for consoles, and this new game looks very much like the new BoB scenery and plane sets, with no mention of the pc hardware platform. when pandemonium then breaks out we get a short post with a few new screenshots from oleg (thanks oleg), but it then turns out ALL those screenshots are from aircraft develloped by a 3e party (the korean sim group).
even those loyalists amongst us that dont drink are starting to reach for the vodka bottle
