And this:
"The same will be the case with BoB. We won’t balance anything to keep the sides equal online. Anyway, it’s not the plane, it’s the pilot. You win by working together in a group, using superior tactics, and knowing your plane’s capabilities."

Very well said!
Don' know how you can stand all the remarks people make. I put my JS, Pedals, Throttle, Headset and tracker in the cabinet when I'm not using them.

It is common practice for my wife to show friends around the house, and my office is not off-limits in her little escapades.

My wife chortles 'giggles noisily" when she trys to explain to other persons of her ilk (non-simmers)that I fly the computer with that stuff. You'd be surprised at the response of people. They do strange things like...roll their eyes, turn-a-way shaking their head. They also make that noise where they press their tongue on the back of their upper front teeth and suck their tongue and make a little tsk tsk sound.

I just put my stuff (the good stuff) in a cabinet, until I'm ready to do some damage to my little neighbors (the AI or online enemy).

Hope everyone has a great day. It was excellent getting a good update from Oleg... Ahhhh! nowfor another cup o' coffee.

Sounds very good indeed. Thanks for the translation! Hopefully we'll be seeing some more of Oleg's new masterpiece soon.

@tanner
When i read all info i have the following facts:
The developement of the engine is the most work!
The ernestly work on SoW:BoB startet 2 Years ago!
The completition at this time is at 60%, game-engine & features!

That tells me that the missing 40% of features should take <12 months to develop.
I think we really could soar the skies in 2009 with SoW:BoB

My guess would be 95% of the game engine complete.
Over 60% of the features complete.
Equals over 80% of the game finished.

Adds up to a possible late 2009 completion baring mulitple super bugs. We should have a better idea this summer if they can complete by the end of this year. SOW is way to complicated for even the developers to know for sure.

I think the rate that they're dribbling out information/images bears this out.

Fortunately, RoF should help fill the gap for me.

I think you are too pessimistic, both of you.

Neither Oleg, 1C, or whoever will publish the title in the West can afford to wait 2 more years.

We'll see it by Christmas, this year.

In all fairness, you said that last year too.
