May be I am wrong...may be the pilot is waiving his legs in to the air intentionally for some rest because of the long cross Chanel flight...

Insuber, I am sure that they will fix it. But I am afraid that, Oleg is hurrying for the 70-th anniversary of the Battle Of Britain, planing to issue the SoW-BoB at this time. But, SoW-BoB is not ready yet...

Quit worrying already about things you don't have any control over.

Why is that something to worry about at all? As long as there are no mayor bugs an "unfinished" sim is better than to have no sim at all. Releasing a less than perfect version to finance future development worked well for Rise of Flight. Eyecandy stuff like correctly animated pilots, more realistically looking clouds or landscape isn't that essential for a combat flight sim and can be updated later.

Thanks for the update Luthier some superb work, so .....<Deep breath>......Is it possible that you could answer a few questions that most of us would like clearing up,

Anyhow here goes.

1. In May 2009 Oleg stated that it would be accurate to say that the sim was now 80% complete. Would it be possible to tell us what percentage we are currently at?

2. Would it also be possible to tell us if the sim is currently at the beta stage of deveolpment?

3. From the same simhq interview Oleg suggested that thousands would be playing SOW in October or maybe before. Is that still possible? If not will it be later this year or early next?


4. Will we see a dedicated SOW website?

Many thanks luthier.

Please note, these questions are for luthier to answer or Oleg if they choose to, If they choose not to answer then that is fine by me and understandable. If anyone wants to take issue with this post or make any snide comments or normal abuse then please pm me rather than post below.

+1 with greatest respect to Oleg and Luthier
I'm sure most of us would welcome an official update on the current status of the sim to replace the endless speculation and argument.

Well...16 months ago, Oleg did indeed stated that the game was 80 % done...

At a rate of 1 % progress per month, that would mean 96 % is done...That is a more scientific and objective way to predict that the game will be finished in 4 months, just in time for Xmas !!!! Yeah !!!! Merry Xmas everyone !!!!

Can anyone explain why Oleg should release commercially-sensitive information just to satisfy the cravings of a few dozen forum obsessives? As I've pointed out before, the release date may not even be his decision. He may well be in negotiation with publishers, or be contractually obliged to not disclose such information. Even if he knows the projected release date, and is free to disclose it, he may decide it is better left undisclosed. A surge of publicity about a finished product is likely to do more for sales than a dribble of information that only interests a few...
