Despite the joy I feel that we've finally heard something from Oleg I get this funny feeling that I'm not going to like the setting nor the circumstances under which we'll get the "new" add-ons for BoB. Isn't anyone out there who is actually freightened by the idea that companies like CaptainSim or A2A simulations would get involved? Oh sure, they do create great stuff, but their stuff costs also a great deal of money. Whereas we had Il-2 for at most 45 Euro's (top price in the Nehterlands), we wouldn't even get just one part of the CaptainSim product. B757 with all of it's blocks for a "discounted" price of 79.99 Euro's? It's a disgrace!!!
If that's the future of BoB then I'm really worried as many are not prepared to spend thousands of <your currency here> for having a "complete" sim.
I'm also a bit worried about the "complete simulators" statement of Oleg whereas I feel that not all of the developers are quite as caring as Oleg is and obviously will rush products to the market... Having sat in the chair as an add-on developer (lead 3d designer of the DC-2 Uiver add-on) I know what it takes to deliver a great looking model. Three years to be exact. That's the time we've spent for this add-on to get it onto FS9 in order to support the real aircraft in the Aviodrome museum. That's not bound to be the time any developer would spend on an add-on which must be low-price or high content package.
Just my two cents on the matter which seems not to be worrying anyone else.
Regards,
Alexander
