time to ask Oleg again

[Flyby]

Chivas,
If Oleg is holding out on substantial updates because he's concerned about UBI (hereafter known as the Evil Empire) casting it's dark shadow, what's to prevent UBI from casting that shadow after the sim is released? Not to mention any updates that might be released between now and then? I don't get that. But maybe it's because Oleg has had to discard any resemblance of any work he'd done while in the clutches of the Evil Empire, and has basically had to start anew? hmmm...

As far as we know UBI still has a contract with Oleg and controls info to the western market. In the past on the ubi forums, people close to Oleg have said they he would like to provide more updates, but its not in his total control. As I said this may be the reason we have to come here to get any info.

I don't know what you mean by this statement.
"what's to prevent UBI from casting that shadow after the sim is released?"

Not to make excuses for UBI but they probably has business reasons why they don't want any info released at this time. Its not to spite the community. This seems to be how some business is done these days. Most of the few other combat sims on the horizon are giving much less info than Oleg has over the last few years. Information is worth alot of money to your competitors. Even knowing your competitors release date can make a difference on which item makes it too the market first and captures a larger percentage of the market.

I would also like more screenshots and info, but having Oleg pop in here once a month with a screenshot and answering some questions suggests strongly that the sim is still being developed. We will have all the screenshots and info required when the time is right.

Im tired with this, my interest isn't the same, we don't deserve a simple new...

[Flyby]

perhaps we should simply ask the moderators to delete this topic. I didn't mean it to be in any way divisive. How complicated life becomes when one thinks he's asking for a simple new...

Hello Flyby!
We'll just have to wait.. I allready have a campaign planned for SOW BOB whenever it's released In the meantime one can get immersed with some other game..
I just got back to flying IL-2 after a two year long break, and it reminded me again why I love flightsims so much.

Here is my plan for waiting:
1946 will keep me occupied until the first installment of DCS,
then I shall fly the Black Shark (I allready have a campaign planned for that one too and the relevant flight charts)) I will probably play some IL-2 during this time as well, keeping in touch with my squad buddies. DCS will be fresh and new during this time, and should be able to keep me excited (along with 1946) until the holy day comes when Bob is born.
I'll also stick in a boat trip with a bunch of naked women in my waiting schedule, to which you Flyby, have a special invitation..

S~ Sulan!
I like your plan, and think I'll immulate it. Well, I'll fly '46, and then Black Shark until Sow_BoB comes out. I'm also looking forward to KOTS and Jet Thunder. Meanwhile I'm not flying anything at the moment because I'm trying to spec out a new system and am waiting a bit before I actualy begin purchasing the components.
Also, please reserve me a place of deck right in the middle of all those agile naked women! Ah... naked women the natural male-enhancement solution! Sulan, my friend, I like your thinking!

ps I look forward to trying your campaigns too!
