That certainly is the truth, yet promising Updates, which translates to "Updates showing the status of current development" for me, for every second to third week and not giving these is bad form for me.

If he has nothing to show, so be it, everyone could live with that, but stirring up everyone's curiosity and not owing up to it is simply unnecessary drama for both parties.

Here we begin to post development news of BoB.... some time, but not so rare... I hope once per 2-3 weeks or so .... and more close to beta - each week like in old good time with IL-2

My English isn't so good, but I know that "hope" differs from "promise".

[Zorin]

.In theory it does, yes, but a reply of such positive nature automatically transforms into a promise for the future.

If he said: It is highly unlikely instead of I hope it would have been different. Both imply uncertainty, but the first with a negative undertone and the second is way too positive.

Plus, we have entered the fifth week of the "2-3 weeks", which I'd say is enough to have surpassed the stages of courtesy. It's sad, yet the simple truth: Don't refuse the dog his bone or he'll take your leg.

Just a matter of time till the free radicals of our community will join forces and start to get nasty.

Zorin....most people here are mature enough to know that...

A. "Hope to" does not translate to a Promise.

B. that there are many issues over the years that have contributed to BOB's delay and we would look rather stupid...jumping up and down screaming and getting nasty.

C. We are owned nothing.

D. Vailed threats won't make updates happen sooner.

While C may be true; if he wants to continue making monies on this venture he owes something to us!

[Chivas]

He owes us nothing. If he makes a decent product we will buy it. If he doesn't we won't. If the SOW series is anything like the IL-2 series in attention to detail it will be the next benchmark in combat flight sims. If you feel slighted by the lack of info lately, don't buy it...your loss.

If anything we owe him for providing years of entertainment for a few bucks.

He will continue to make money off of us if his product is good. Everyone will forget the wait, and start a concentrated winge on their aircraft of choice being porked.
