For the record i did not mean SOW is dead as in a project its just that folk have got bored of waiting and have started using the mods to enhance their flying experience.

I agree Tree, he could have carried on making money with the IL-2 series. BUT the game would have stagnated and held back by the limitations of the game engine. Others like the ROF developers would be coming out with a new advanced game engine and he would soon be five years behind the curve. Even console games like BOP appear to making new benchmark strides in combat flight sim development.
We're lucky to have this passionate combat flight sim developer, with a vision for a new cinematic experience. There arn't many of them. He doesn't need us spreading false and negative information that causes even one lost sale of his new product. Our genre market is too small and hasn't been on solid financial ground for sometime.
