Also I was need to fire several people and to hire new. And soon will be more new from the game industry I hope.
However with current amount and level - I see the real light. Simple with more people we may make more that I want myself

Also could be other situation - something that I promised(not the main things) may not happens in the release, but a bit later. Same was with Il-2 some time. But you always got what I promised in general.

Thanks for that Oleg, its good to hear things are back on track, and thanks again for an honest answer.

As for 130 degrees of view - that will be very unrealistic. We already going for compomise always with the computer games - we make wider basic angle of view. This thing distort the feel of distances to the object, but make the wider angle. However with make more "close up" like should see that distances the human eye. This is compromize in every game.

hi oleg,

but will you support multiple monitors without triplehead2go from matrox ?

with the newer gfx cards we can use 3 or more monitors at the same time, without using a matrox 3H2go. for ex using one big widescreen in the middle, and a smaller 19' or 17' on either side to improve peripheral view (this is an economical way for many of us to add more lcd monitors since many of us now have upgraded to bigger widescreens and still have some older smaller lcd's around, or can buy them on the cheap)

but BoB would need to be able to support that, for ex central 27' monitor = 60 FoV, with a 19' in landscape mode on either side adding 30 FoV for each of those , producing a total of 120 FoV over the 3 monitors side by side.

this is already possible in some current games released in the last 2 years, i hope you allow us this function in BoB as well.

maybe. I put such things in secondary importance, becasue of not so wide distribution.

Regarding the release of the game, I think Oleg couldn't have been more clear.
He NEEDS the game to be out the soonest possible, so he can get back a portion of his investment.

When it comes to huge companies time may not be crucial, but in a small company like 1C:Maddox, every delay costs a lot to the owner. Both in terms of money and personal time with family/friends/etc. I don't think that Oleg can sleep well knowing that game is not in the market yet.

That's why I think we should all give him some rest and wait, knowing that Oleg ABOVE ALL wants the game released soonest possible.

And when it is released, I wish him a nice trip to mountains

And underwater trip to some place where I can get white sharks shots

Thank you. Long time wasn't anywhere....

Great to hear from you again, Mr Maddox.

I hope force feedback is supported well in BoB. Very important to me

Is there any news on SoW: Korea, while you are here...

To all of the people who keep saying that Birds of Prey looks so great, I know I am not an artist but I think the picture on the right is closer to real life than the exaggerated colors of BoP.



Have faith in Oleg. I can tell from the alpha shots that this sim will be stunning when it is complete, so have patience. Thank you Oleg.
