Can we request an update?

It would have been better had he not mentioned SOW at all, atleast until the project was closer to completion. He would have had to indure far less insults on the forums.

You're perfectly right on one thing, the issue started when SoW plans where communicated, forums opened, and commitments taken on certain points. We customers have sensitive antennas, and elephant's memory.

We didn't ask for SoW. We didn't ask for SoW teasers in the 1946 DVD, back in 2006, nor for system specs in summer 2008, nor for an update every 2 weeks, nor a dedicated website. And everyone here understands the delays on a complex and innovating project. No problems on that, Oleg keep up the good work !!!! Nobody here is saying "come on Oleg, release it!".

But if we ask for more frequent updates, as he himself committed to, is that an insult ? I doubt. We ask indeed for respect, the respect due to the public when public commitments are taken. How more acceptable to say "Hey chaps don't expect any news for the next 6 months".

Then as someone said, life continues, Il2 is still alive and kicking, DCS: BS and RoF are out there to calm our sim appetite. Me and you have more hobbies than time to do them ...
