What disappoints me is the lack of communication on the 'Official' forum :(

Last time we got any news was when BoP was dropped on us from nowhere,and a large part of the community across several forums got upset.Since then,nothing.
If BoP had not happened,we would have heard nothing for months!
So it looks like we will hear nothing unless a large number of people start getting concerned and ask for updates.

It has been a long time...

You should state the whole thing: These news were only about BoP, it's origin and the only part of the news concerning BoB in this whole storm in the fishbowl was the statement, that there was no connection between the two titles.

Anything else, that BoP showed planes, effects, textures or objects from BoB was pure assumption of some community guys, who were p*ssed that Oleg sold his soul to the console-market. And all those statements were instantly corrected by those involved in the BoP-project.


So the whole basis of your superficial conclusion is based on the statements that people posted, who have no insight in the project and didn't listen to BoP or BoB developers-statements.

In short: It's plain egocentric and wrong as wrong can be.

Feaurfalke,as far as I am aware,you do not speak for 1C or Oleg.
People would like news thats all.If you do not,then why even bother being here?

[Feuerfalke]

JG52Uther, you still make me wonder.

I answered that especially to you several times before, but here we go again:
I want news as much as you do. But if the news we get says they cannot post as many news as they like to, then I am grown up enough to accept that and see that this is the wrong address to write complains to. I don't need to be an official to do that. It just takes a certain degree of common sense, that's all.

If you think that makes me a brown-nose, so be it.

If you think I am the bad guy, because I quote official posts and not cheerfully join the march of those who claim plain wrong things in order to promote their whining, feel free to do so.

Fact is, though, that it won't make your world any better, doesn't move the release date forward or increase the number of official news released. It never did with any patch or release, though we had the same childish state of mind before every single release in the history of this game and infact most games I know.

So why don't you guys just chill out and act like the grown-ups you probably are in real life - just for a few weeks, maybe, and give these guys a break?

Have you found that statement yet?

It is interesting how the UBi Zoo carries on with no news for ages, except second hand information that is posted here first. The game is still available for sale all over the world, so there will always be newbs getting into the IL2.

The collaboration between the Oleg and UbiSoft may be tentative or non existent at this point for all I know.

Regardless, those of us loyal to the author and not the distributor are on this boards.

Oleg, has been good out about responding every month or so. The postings he makes are better than anything I've read on ORR in years. Oleg is available to us on these boards and one a month or once every couple months he responds, which is fine with me. We know there is progress being made.

As far as being disappointed with UbiSoft... Ubisoft has their own band with their own instruments and they aren't interested in playing our songs.

I am still waiting for Feuerfalke to show me this statement that Oleg made. Feuerfalke seems to know most things in here, i really hope he hasn't fallen on his sword on this one.

I'm also sorry to hear that your search-button doesn't work. In your names I reported it as a bug to the forum moderators. You know I'm always willing to help.

Well, as I posted before, I've posted links to these sort of statements a couple of times before. On the funny side, it took me 3 seconds with my working search-function to find at least one of the threads. There was another statement in an interview, but you wouldn't read or care anyway, so I save my life-time to post that link - 3 seconds wasted for you kiddies was enough IMHO:

"Ubisoft has all the rights for IL-2 Sturmovik series. They are the publisher of these games outside of Russia, CIS countries and baltic states... The release dates depend on our Western partners and their plans, so sometimes we can't give an exact answer to this question."

It's about the deal with the new publishers BTW. As you all know, because you are such wise men and so well informed grown-up forum members, updates on SoW stopped just a few days prior to the announcement that all new titles will be published by other companies, except for IL2 and SoW, as there was an existing deal with UBISOFT before. Of course for some of us this fact is either completely ignored or simply a case of odd coincidence....
