Battle of Britain / Storm of War any news?

Its frustrating for fans of the Maddox IL-2 series to be kept in the dark about the PC version of BOB/Storm of wars. Why has there been no developer updates on progress? I guess the team are concentrating on the console release? Some info would be appreciated even if its to tell us the project is on hold.

I'd like to second that question. Storm of War is probably the most important simulator to come in years, yet there's absolutely no news.
Is it still being developed?

There use to be a whole forum for it, but now I can't find it. In addition it couldn't have been dropped, it is one of the most anticipated flight simulators. I think it was sidetracked by the new IL-2 development, but with that out of the way, I hope it is picked up again.

Last update of any description was in June when Oleg did an interview with Simhq, to be honest there was nothing in the interview that most didn't already know. Oleg did say that there would be in game screenshots from September onwards but at this point these seem to have been forgotten along with earlier teasers such as system specs and a dedicated SOW website. One good bit of news though was that Oleg did say that SOW will definatley go gold for the BOB anniversary in September 2010 so we should see the whole project kick up a gear very soon.

There is progress ..... just hang on now. There was a time when this was not true.

We are finally on an approach vector to landing this baby ......

Oleg will deliver.

One of the most prescient observations made on this forum, in quite some time.

Uhhh... I think he said that we'd definitely be flying it by Sep 2010, which I assumed meant Jul planned release, plus two weeks or so.
