time to ask Oleg again

[Flyby]

like we have nothing in the way of Sow_BoB progress to look forward to. At least not in this life. Sad to say, but it appears a bit of cynicism is creeping in here. If that's accurate I can't blame you guys for feeling that way. I know it's hard to sustain enthusiasm when there seems too little in the way of updates. If it's about competition, BoB II is getting on in years, and what other WW II sim is there to be concerned about? 1946? So is Oleg competing with himself? Maybe he's just lost his way after so long? Any of these speculations would be very sad if true.
I believe most of us are looking to participating in the Battle of Britain online through the magic of Oleg's renderings. Were that not so, imho, I for one would have already bought Rowan's Bob II. I still might buy a copy one day, but I favor online play mainly. Hey! Maybe that's the hangup! Oleg can't reconcile how to represent a bomber armada online. opps! more speculation on my part. Thus the need we have for an immediate release of a video showing SOMETHING. ANYTHING. Hear me Oleg! Hear the lamentations of the faithful!

I think the lack of substantial updates is mainly due to Ubisoft's influence. I don't know the status of UBI's and Olegs relationship but there has been no announcement that it has changed so UbiSoft would still hold control of any info released to the western market. This may be one of the reasons Olegs abandoned the UBI forums so he could show limited updates. I think if he showed substancial updates the UbiLawyers would be casting a dark shadow over the sim.

Chivas,
If Oleg is holding out on substantial updates because he's concerned about UBI (hereafter known as the Evil Empire) casting it's dark shadow, what's to prevent UBI from casting that shadow after the sim is released? Not to mention any updates that might be released between now and then? I don't get that. But maybe it's because Oleg has had to discard any resemblance of any work he'd done while in the clutches of the Evil Empire, and has basically had to start anew? hmmm...

As far as we know UBI still has a contract with Oleg and controls info to the western market. In the past on the ubi forums, people close to Oleg have said they he would like to provide more updates, but its not in his total control. As I said this may be the reason we have to come here to get any info.

I don't know what you mean by this statement.
"what's to prevent UBI from casting that shadow after the sim is released?"

Not to make excuses for UBI but they probably has business reasons why they don't want any info released at this time. Its not to spite the community. This seems to be how some business is done these days. Most of the few other combat sims on the horizon are giving much less info than Oleg has over the last few years. Information is worth alot of money to your competitors. Even knowing your competitors release date can make a difference on which item makes it too the market first and captures a larger percentage of the market.

I would also like more screenshots and info, but having Oleg pop in here once a month with a screenshot and answering some questions suggests strongly that the sim is still being developed. We will have all the screenshots and info required when the time is right.

Im tired with this, my interest isn't the same, we don't deserve a simple new...

perhaps we should simply ask the moderators to delete this topic. I didn't mean it to be in any way divisive. How complicated life becomes when one thinks he's asking for a simple new...
