See thats where the problem lays, damn you guys think this sim is gonna blow the world away? how is it gonna meet any expectations of the community if the man himself isnt even asking the community what they expect.

And i think nearmiss's point is not what he wrote but the Actual words he wrote like AAA IL2 mods etc etc, these are supposed to be taboo'd words in here lol, everytime some uses those words or #Quotes nearmiss you are making his point clearer that, moderation or Admin in this forum is non existant. Hence why ppl are being insulted for there views.

I mean come one, seriously this debate could be ended with-in a week maybe. All the mods have to do is put a bit of pressure on the management to say throw us a bone, but thats not gonna happen cos they know they wont get a reply or even an answer themselves.

Go on guys prove all the peeps in here wrong about SoW, you all seem to say you know way more about SoW and have 110% faith, share the faith without becoming martyrs.

I too think that taking 5 minutes every month to write 2 or 3 lines in this forum, even without replying to all of our requests / questions would be good.

Last time he just bothered to give a life sign just because the community was all upset looking at this BoP video that came and looked soo much like BoB. Without this, I'm sure he wouldn't have even put a line since march.

He could also delegate this power of reply to somebody in his team if he dislike doing it by himself.

5 minutes a month can't be counted as "lost time for SoW development", especially when it's just to calm down a bit the eagerness of his fans.

WHy does he write : "I will give regular updates" then ? Or is for him regular meaning one post every 4 - 6 months ?

BigPickle and Octoberfest, you are either not getting it or just dont want to get use to idea that THIS IS PUBLISHERS job to do all THAT. And Pickle, i got reality check for you... game development is whole alot more then listening to what you want.

And guys...please, when you talk, talk from YOUR point of view and dont represent the community. It happens very often lately, some people, for some reason think that they are appointed to speak as a whole community.

1.I don't know who the publisher is,so I can't ask them for updates can I?

2.Oleg said he would give regular updates,did he say that without knowing it was the publishers job?

Oktoberfest · #**185** 08-21-2008, 12:44 PM

I'm not even asking for regular updates ! Just a sign of life.... Like, : Hello, this is Oleg, and the work is progressing here. I can't tell you, but it will look good ! " Or something like that. Plus about me speaking for the community... If I start a poll in this forum with the following questions :

Would you like to get regular updates ?

"Yes, I would greatly appreciate that Oleg give us a proof of life regularly as promised."

Or

"No, I prefer beeing kept in the dark."

What would be the reply ? I bet I know it.

Who's the publisher now ?

All this speculation and demanding information is just insane. Why don't people just let the development team get on with what they're best at - developing what is sure to be a very complexly coded sim? It comes as no surprise that they're not paying heed to the clamouring mob.

This forum is sadly turning into UbiZoo MKII with paranoid and uninformed rantings by a bunch of drama queens.

Get a hold of yourself.

It's gonna meet the expectations alright, first of their trying to make a new benchmark sim/engine which means that it will last after it's been released.
(This means that other titles can be released on the same engine, like the Korean War Sim or maybe modern combat)

Making this takes time, they've already said that the development of IL2 took about 4 years, and look we still play it.. and yes it's STILL the best combat flight simulator ever released.

*Il2 had very very impressive damage models, even back in the days and I've to say Sturmovik was actually way more ahead than a lot of other games when it came down to technology (by the time of release).*

I am sure they've listened a`lot to the community and besides, things will be improved such as a`lot more realism, damage physics , weather , graphics , aerodynamics etc etc.

I guess community features that could be wished for is things like, Dedicated Servers and support for today's type of on line requirements but im sure Oleg and his team already know this.

When it comes down to planes, and stuff like aerial realism then there's really no point in asking him for features.. he and his team will know alot more about historical aircrafts than most of you here ever will.

IMO...its about a feeling of "power and influence". A lot of people who are asking for up-dates are doing so just because its difficult (bored people looking for a challenge)...they are looking for an angle that "works". And even if they get an answer they will just bitch about what they hear... "I don't believe this..." and "why do they say that?" Just look at the record...
