Il-2 Sturmovik Battle over Britain very close to release

[merlin1]

I dont think soo.

Mr. Oleg

Once jou said that the Il-2 Sturmovik Battle for Britain is very close to release, and now is all depend from developers. Unfortunately me and many of users of this forum dont have equal feeling. with all respect to jour work and the work of your team. I simply must to ask a question. When the release will be happened ? In the Q1, Q2, Q3 Q4 in 2011 or even in year 2012 ?

I dont understand why you cant answered, or you dont wont answered on this simply question ?

I just gett the feeling that the IL-2 Battle for Britain will be never ending story or, never ending game... If you can not confirm whether the game will be released by December 2011, or ignore the issue of many that put him here, then we can rightly I suspect just that ... That you and your team do not have a detailed time periods in which the game came out. And this is very, very bad: And in my opinion, manipulate of expectations of members.

I not complaining at all. I just wont fair answer.


I hope this thread not will be errased from moderators.

Oleg and his team are working in a gaming genre which doesn't have a large fan base and won't receive any where near the amount of money/praise as they should do in respect to the amount of work and research they are clearly doing to achieve this massive massive game.

You should not moan for a release date just trust that when Oleg feels that this game is ready to be released we will be getting something spectacular.

Look at all those FPS which require F all research and very little time to compile (yes CALL OF DUTY/HALO IM LOOKING AT YOU) and yet receive an unbelievable and a ridiculous amount of praise and money, which quite frankly IMHO they don't deserve.

You have the cheek to moan for a release date, you should be glad that there are ppl like Oleg pouring there time and soul into this genre and will not be getting much in return.

Thank you Oleg and Co for the hard work you are doing for and pushing the boundaries of flight simulators.

I can understand the frustration,it is annoying when a question cannot be answered.I think it is a case of Oleg himself doesn't know.
He is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't really.If he states a time and it doesn't happen well he will be slagged off and he also then puts himself under more pressure and may release something incomplete that for an extra 3 months could be so much better.
Enjoy the journey,sometimes it' s better than the destination.
IF Oleg does give a release date i hope it is really ready and bug free and fully working before the announcement is made.

Trumper pretty much nailed it there. "Bug Free".

We'll all moan if the Sim is buggy, crashes, graphically glitched etc, etc.
I too really want this Sim now, but look if this arrives and it needs patch after patch to make it playable, can you imagine how many posts there would be on this forum alone saying that they had released an incomplete product, we are Beta testers, they stole my money......etc,etc (again).

I appreciate that Oleg and his team are working away to make it 'perfect' and just look at the responses to last-week's update regarding the colour of the flame. That's just the colour of the flame!!!! Can you imagine how many even smaller/larger details they have to contend with and which will be moaned about if slightly inaccurate on release?

So, Oleg, take your time, get it right, but I would ask.....if at-all possible, maybe a Spitfire V 109 Beta/test map released for users to try as at-least this would be a possible 'open source' test for user feedback before the final release.

I don't expect the latter to occur, but when it comes out......I'll raise a glass to Oleg and the crew for all their dedicated work and patience listening to whine after whine on these forums and yet still coming up with what should/will be the best Flight Sim, Combat or Civilian, ever created.

Cheers, MP

wishful thinking.

it will be done, when its done.

1c will publish SOW BOB when they, not we, feel it is ready. The attention to detail however is in my opinion sometimes unnecessarily high and I am afraid the development of the game suffers from this.

Merlin, just how many release dates do you want, Oleg has given us 3 already, weve had November 2007, November 2009 and September 2010, now stop being greedy.
