right now they sell a game with 2 flyable aircraft only as a ww-1 flightsim, and they have completed the work on their scenery and grafix engine. to now create two ww-2 flyable planes and slightly change their scenery to suit the battle of brittain era would take them very little effort imo.

they also provided some degree of openness in their game environment where they want to get their customers involved in creating game objects and addon planes and scenery

oleg, you might want to consider releasing BoB sooner then later imo. RoF looks very good (probably not as good as BoB will be, but close ?), and if to many flightsimmers get distracted by it this could well take some of your customers away

your loyal supporters know you are working on a grand masterpiece that will set new standards in flightsim performance and features, but there is only a limited number of aviation fans out there as a customer base. the sooner you can releases your sim, the more wind you will be able to take out of their sails

When you'll buy RoF - you'll see many nice things in comparson to Il-2. This will be the first impression.
However in many items it is still far away even from Il-2.
Really I don't afraid if they will do WWII era aircraft. They need couple of years hard work if not more just to catch or reach our level in BoB at all in all items. Alos they have some limits for modeling of WWII eara aircraft in their engine and they soon will understand it themselves..

Read my interview on SimHq about our goal and my and Ilya opinion about situation on the Flight Sim market.

Also... I never promise or advertize things, that didn't went in final production... in comparison to some other developers.
