Gents, some of you know me, I've been around the sim a long time. Here's my take on things.
1. Every time Oleg shows his face here or at the Ubizoo he gets flamed, every single time. Why would anyone want to repeat that that experience? So stop begging him to show up, and use a little common sense and gentlemanly comportment in your replies when he, or any member of the dev team does post here.
2. As has been said over and over and over again, even if Oleg wanted to post every day on development of the new sim he could not owing to contractual restraints placed on MG by UBIsoft. If
your boss says to not do something, do you do it anyway?
3. What exactly is the beef with the dev screens posted so far, other than they are infrequent? Some of them have been quite revealing of the level of detail we can expect. "But we want in game shots!!!111!!" Oh really? Does anyone remember the alpha screenshots of the original IL2? I do, they looked
nothing like the release. What makes you think alpha screens of SOW would be any different?
4. This is just my take on things, but I believe that what Oleg and his team are making is going to be far ahead of
anything that has ever been attempted in this genre. So far ahead in fact that they cannot afford to risk tipping their hand to another developer in any way. Even in seemingly "harmless" dev posts for us.
So why don't we just move along and enjoy the software we already have? It is, after all,
still the best prop sim ever created.
See you in Hyperlobby.
