i`ll ask, but no promises.

Luthier promised more then he could deliver, what do you mean by that Avimimus? We all know that it took a while to convince UBI to take part in 1946... That might partially explain "no news" almost until release...

Oleg walks a delicate tightrope in giving us information. It is easy to promise too much and it is easier for an accidental lack of clarity to lead to misinterpretation. This is even harder when people often "hope for the best" and when there is such a good track record of ground breaking achievements and unexpected improvements in place.

Doing this requires much more skill than most of us realise (or have for that matter). Luthier learned the hard way back around the time Pacific fighters was released:
http://www.simhq.com/forum/ubbthread...Number=1380096
As you can imagine there was a certain amount of flak some months later.

With 1946 he was much more conservative. We were told not to expect trenches or the Ta-183 and features were only announced once they were in the beta phase. When the "leaks" were made they were also parceled out by Luthier with the minimum of extra information (much more like Oleg).

So, I wouldn't expect anything from RRG, other than confirming what we already know, for a few months.

That is actually the thing that I miss. I remember the days when "Luthier1" and "Uberdemon" would answer my questions at UBI (and before that, does anyone remember "Blue Byte"?)

Hey guys. Me not having been around is not a PR strategy. I just got tired of the big flight sim forums, and I've been getting my forums fill at some smaller sites, mostly posting under names other than 'luthier'. Ubi forums give me PTSD.

We're chugging along on our next project at RRG, but BoB is coming out first, so PR focus is on Oleg's germination for now. We're just quietly doing our thing and waiting for Oleg to do his. I'm working with Oleg on BoB as well, of course. You will actually be seeing more of me on the forums in the new year, because on some of the things I'm doing for BoB (and for my own project) I'll need community's help.


Also, Ubi? Blue Byte? How about dogfighter.com, the real good old days, back in the year nineteen-ninety-nine?

You got it!

IMHO! Please use the word “users” instead of the slightly tainted “community’s”!

Man, Its nice to see you around. Oleg's around more and things are quieter like in the old days (mind you I don't go back as far as you though, dogfighter.com ...the last millennium).

As for the Zoo, it does strange things to people, it seems like you left at the right time and got off relatively easy (PTSD vs. full fledged insanity ).

We're here to help, at the ready (if a little worse for wear)! S!
