I dont know,sounds like he's quiet open to the idea.



Q: And now Oleg, please go into more details on your thoughts of the future of Storm of War compared to Il-2, given the potential you’ve built into the engine from the start.

A: Considering what I’ve said already, and given an initial commercial success of BoB, here’s what I see:

1. Some number of developers internationally that worked with MSFS, and probably a large part of them too, will convert to our side. This is especially to be expected considering the recent closing of Aces studio. So these add-on developers might just start making add-ons for Storm of War. I think this might even include jets, including modern ones.



Looks like it's on the cards if developers want to step up to the challange.That certainly doesnt guarantee it'll happen I know but it's pretty exciting to know that it's possible.

SOW if most definitely gunna rock in a very massive way!

I stand corrected...lets hope for really diverse future

Wow, wouldn't that just be a huge slap in the face to MS. Some of their FS devs go over to what was in a way their competition and work with them. I find that kinf of humourous. Talk about getting the last laugh.

I know several people who are into flight sims but never tried il2 because they were into commercial flight, I hope that the FSX addon crowd starts making commercial stuff on the SoW engine, then we'll have the best of both worlds.

[robtek]

Yessss,
lets start with a fleet of dc3´s and ju52´s pressed into war service carrying cargo and troops.

[ElAurens]

Can you imagine an FSX like expansion, only with real FMs and DMs.



I'd love to see the look on a cattle car pilot's face when instead of a black screen, his 777 actually looses half a wing and spirals in trailing smoke and fire after he over stresses the airframe, then explodes into a million pieces.

"Capt. CattleCar is turned into a heap of meat."

Freaking hilarious.

[SlipBall]

HA ha...the damage model was the one thing that I hated the most about MSFS...OK there are others!
I'd love to see A2A "shockwave" get involved with 1C on SOW

[CRO_Adriatic]

Thanks a lot for interview! Most important news is that project will not stop!

Agree, that would be a good mix. A2A could work on the aircraft visuals, cockpits and sounds while OM team works on the FM/DM and maps. Might get things out faster. Wishful thinking I guess.
