i presume the same information might still later show up in this il2 forum at 1C because so far oleg has been irregularly communicating with us, and it might well be seen by them/him as an alternative to the update we have been waiting for in the last few months.

I Guess your previous statement about SIMHQ doesn't apply anymore as soon as it's about BOB, or did you forget that even games are made to earn money..
