Ubi wasn't interested in letting Oleg post updates until the sim was closer to release. Oleg then started posting limited updates on this forum. Not sure if the updates were vague because they didn't want to get into a pissin* contest with UBI or they didn't want to give the competition any heads up on features.
Who knows if UBI is still envolved. Even finding IL-2 1946 on their site store is difficult. Under simulations they only list the early releases of the IL-2 series. You have to do a search for IL-2 1246 to find it. UBI hasn't said a word about SOW since they annouced a release date of end of 2006. We know Oleg wasn't ready to release a dumbed down version of the game so there may be some head butting. Or everything could be hunky-dory and they will start advertising the existance of SOW in the suitable time frame.
I don't have a problem with waiting. We will get plenty of updates when the time is right.
People have been pining for advertising to start for the last 3 years and it would have been a total waste of money if it had of started back then.
