I honestly understand the frustration from the community. We all want this sim released and barring any news of said release then some info would be nice to have.
I recognise many of you from around the forums, and I dare say most of us have been here since the early days of IL2 and FB. That being the case, how many of us remember patches being 'released' earlier than expected? Someone got the 'beta' code of the patch and made it availible to the masses before it was finalized. I still remember the hooplah over the FMs in 4.01 unofficial verses 4.01 official. This happened on every patch released. Who released the unofficial patches early? IDK.
We can speculate all we want on the relation with 1C and UBI, but I'm not sure anything is in stone, nor can be clarified beyond what we've read prior, but potentially that's another obstacle in availible information to us forum members.
With computer games being copied and illegally distributed, with a new game engine needing to be protected from the competition, and possibly legal ramifications of plane names and copyright, there are issues that require a sense of delicacy in what is revealed or not revealed.
I highly doubt anyone at 1C/Maddox is keeping information from us so he can form bad customer relations. He knows we're excited and chomping at the bit for any scrap of useful info. Then again there may be nothing new to release to us. As much as I enjoy and am happy to get pictures of planes, I'd rather have something with more meat to Oleg's released info.
There may be more going on than we realize, and his interests and relations with his associations need to be maintained.
