Well the fact that the propellers are 3D shows that the level of detail that will be included into AI planes is above the normal things developers do and that flyable aircraft from these models should be quite quick.

Also will these be free addons or are small payments expected to be involved?

Oleg,

You are speaking about a "new engine".
What do you mean with this?
Starting all over again with all objects?


"the final release…. Which isn’t soon really…. "

So we have to wait for September 2009 ???

Don't panic. SoW is the new engine.

But even if the models were all completely finished, you'd still have to make all the effects, put it together and make it a full game, with GUI and all that.

They have an alpha now, so we're on the way, but it doesn't mean we're close, yet.



Patience.


Doesn't matter if it will be this year or next year - it will be awesome and it's better to not rush it out of the door.

Hello Oleg , just wanted to say , the update of the flight models is about what I expected , what Has impressed me though is the new texture of the grass , if this is an indication of the new map to come , I cant wait , I know from what youve said theres a long way to go , but still ... I cant wait.

Hi all,

I'm impressed. In fact, I'm more impressed than someone who is exceedingly impressed!

The aircraft put any other sim to shame.

The vehicles and 88 are superb.

And as a bonus we have confirmation that all is well with the development of SoW.


Oleg for President !!

This temporary made texture is for tools. In the sim the grass is 3D and moving due the wind.

New engine means the absolutely new 3D engine, ground fhysics and flight coding, AI and even how it looks in general.... Simply everything....
There is only experinece of Il-2 development behind, but the 90+% of code is completely new. The other 10% also with changes.

This is a question for some interview..... I will keep this info the the magazines

I only can say you right now... that yes we will have sometime free add-ons with new features, like it was with Il-2.
But other info - till the right time. Everything will be fine
