Cool We have the answers...

Now I get it all...IMHO

1-Promo video was made with Beta cause at time of anouncement, the COD engine was in big trouble with anti -epilepspspspspsy () filter.

2-Dynamic weather and new clouds were put aside for the same reasons...DX11 also...

3-Friday's updates were WIP from 3 or 4 months ago, before the filter thing...That is why it was so hard to get videos...And the one we got are from Beta...

4-The "Official" game release is in fact posponed...That is why we have later dates for Europe and North America...And that is why official UBI website is not ready yet...Time to fix the code...And have final specs...

5-The reviews would be devastating in Europe and North America for COD if critics got the game in this actual state..They would gladly compare it to WOP and other flight sims to put it down...Especially after 6 years of work...

6- Any videos from Russia yet ?

Anyway, I think these issues can be fixed in time...We just need Luthier or Oleg to come forward and tell us : Buy the game ! It will be as expected within few weeks !

Salute !

So the Russians get the non-fixed version today then?
Seems odd?

Yes, I know...hard to figure why...

But then, why not worldwide same-date release ?

Maybe :
It takes a lot of money and time to organise a "physical" release of that magnitude...You have to find a place to rent, hire people ( girls,girls girls), secutity, management, airplane tickets, hotels, catering, journalists, media, etc.
So I would say you have to prepare, hum...lets say..4 months in advance ?
So just before everything went wrong ? They were so sure at that moment that everything was tight and slick...What could go wrong ?
So they had to keep on going...I am pretty sure that without a 'physical" release, they would have posponed for few months...
So we have later dates everywhere else..But it would have been hard to justify months of delay..They pushed has long as "reasonnable"...

And that is IMHO !

Salute !

i think in real life events were a bit more simple

1) dec 2009, oleg states intended release date by BoB anniversary
2) jan 2010 to july 2010, oleg is happy and ontrack for release
3) sept 2010 ubi gives delay deadline for end 2010, and adds "o yea, btw, you have to add this anti epilepsy layer on top of the game or you cant release it
4) oct 2010 oleg goes "f*ck f*ck f*ck"
5) nov to feb 2011 oleg goes "f*ck f*ck f*ck" and "i cant get this crap running with the ubi mess on top of my sim", and ubi adds "no further delays, money stops here"
6) march 2011 oleg goes "f*ck this mess" and "look at all the useless ungrateful forum whiners who think we can fix this mess by magic if they just whine enough" and "i need another job that is more sane"

i suspect that is a more accurate reflection of events

Because they are depending on the distributors and all 3 areas have different distributors?




This site should be renamed to "IMHO-08/15: The Battle of Rumors"...

And these guys could not release it the same day ? As advertized for many weeks ? Why ? Why the last minute delays then ?

Why would they invest the time and money to coordinate for a worldwide distribution and media campaign including 3 (?) different companies?

And e.g. if distribution in the US is postponed, why on earth should a different company say: Oh dear, poor fellas, we'll halt our sales as well, forget about the money now, just so you feel more comfortable.

Well, look at UBI's website, and tell me if it is ready then...
The russian release wasn't posponed...And you got my opinion on why...
But It is on UBI's side that we have delays, no ?...But it doen't mean that Oleg didn't go "f*ck f*ck f*ck" and "i cant get this crap running with the ubi mess on top of my sim",

Salute !
