Oleg's Russian Interview Translated

[Chivas]

I'm not sure how people think that 60% of the features completed equals 60% of the total work done on this sim. That would be true if only 60% of all the other aspects of the sim were completed. ie game engine etc

No one ever said that BOB would have more planes and objects that IL-2. They said that the SOW series could end up with more aircraft, objects, and theaters than the IL-2 series. I get a kick out of people who say they won't buy SOW until their favortie a/c or theater arrives. What they don't understand is it may never arrive if BOB doesn't sell well.

The developer stated that he hoped to have it done this year, so he can obviously see a scenarion where this can happen. Ofcourse he knows and we know that sh*t happens and it could be delayed indefinately. He has absolutely no reason to string us along as we will always be here flying Il-2 or ROF or whatever.

Speculating that the sim will definitely be out this year or it can't possibly happen for another two years is all hogwash based on twisted facts.

Good points raised there Chivas, but this same developer once said that he expected a release in Q4 2007, according to recent interviews the same developer is now saying work didn't start until 2007. No offence to Oleg but most of the hogwash is coming from his direction. Not that it really matters in the grand scale of things but there are some on here who have a selective memory. Oleg is God no question but he's not great with time scales and he certainly didn't build the world in 7 days, but try telling that to his followers.
