The news about RRG from Oleg

Viking · #1 01-30-2008, 05:09 PM

The news that RRG studios are working on a Korea scenario, project Galba, using the SoW engine sounds like a well thought idea since most Americans and non Europeans will find little or no interest in the BoB scenario, so this will give them an incitement to buy the sim. If then 1C will be working history from BoB forward and RRG from Korea backwards they will together be able to cover the whole era in a relative short period of time. I sincerely hope that this is the intention.

Just my 0, 2 €.

I can't wait for BOB, WW11 is where my interest lies. I'm not sure that I would buy a Korea sim, I just have little interest in that era...and I am a American

indeed, interest about a scenario should not be related on where do you come from........

im German, and im not very interested in a BoB scenario - much more in such a Korean one !

but anyway , im in general interested in Aircombat - so i dont complain about any of these two.
and actually the SoW engine itself is what im looking for , it will be most propably a huge improvemnt in combat flight sims

Yes; I think its safe to say that everybody who have found their way to this forum, regardless of nationality, will buy almost anything with the word”flight” in it, either out of interest or for the sole support, but this population is far from big enough to pay back the developing money for this sim, so we need some easily recognizable buzzwords in order to reach the attention and interest of the average game buying Joe to react and reach out for just this sim( game) in the mall.
IMHO “Korea” is such word in the US and so is “Battle of Britain” in Europe. Let’s hope it works that way.

"Battle of Britain" is a pretty big buzzword...even here in the states. I know a lot of people here who play "BoB WoV"

p.s. This is not to say that I'm not "very" interested in the Korea sim...that's why I asked about it...

If Oleg wants to develop for "Americans" he can go XboX.

Lots of interest in Spain over Spanish Civil War. Oleg once poasted at ubi that he would love to make SCW sim. I'm hoping that modding in BoB And Beyond or even (eventually) FB/PF will allow JG-Tuckie's Spanish Civil War team to come back home to OlegWare from TargetWare.

I'm hoping Korea Sim works its way forward, covering late 1940s to early 1960s never done in any out-of-box Made In Ussia or Made In Russia combat flight The Sim.

I'm British and I'm more interested in a Korea sim more than BoB. While its a nice starting point I want to fly a Seafury from carrier deck and shoot down pesky Migs. Quite looking forward to the Med as well and carrier operations in general.

I'll buy and play both. If it flies and can shoot me down I'm there. 1916 - 1952 It makes no difference when.

I'll go back and quote Robert from Page 1

"I'll buy and play both. If it flies and can shoot me down I'm there. 1916 - 1952 It makes no difference when."

'Hear hear' from here. I hope both sides of this crazy online offline divide are well represented and fully functional in wherever IC Maddox or RRG takes us next.

I'll accept any posting, anywhere

Exactly.. I learned my lesson about that kind of silliness with IL2.. If it is a good sim, which coming from 1C I see no reason why it wouldn't be... I will have it the day it is released.

As for the online offline thing... I also have no doubt that the SoW series will be better than this one... online or offline.. and right now, in this sim ... I enjoy both.... immensely. Until 1C proves otherwise my money is theirs for any flight sim they produce ... sight unseen. I have absolutely no doubts whatsoever on any level that whatever comes after this will be better. Anyone who doubts that just needs to fire up IL2 1.0.. then fire up IL2 4.09b1.... and tell me it wont be better... if it can go from there to here on the same engine.. imagine what an entirely new engine will be like... and mind you.. what we have here is a taste of SoW... look at the Slovakia, Odessa, Bessarabia and the last MTO maps ...... and tell me you don't need a napkin.
