You can't see the TIR.. but it is there...

I wish my desk was as clean as yours
I have so many pilots notes, maps, charts and other Il2 related things strewn about.

No, but that is, why I mentioned. There are a couple of flightsims being worked on right now, but you won't see ANY pictures soon, I guess. Not even daring to speak about WIP-videos and stuff. And when you consider some people calling BOB vaporware, because there is no info or no competitors, so Oleg has no right to hold back information, it really makes you wonder.

a bump a day will keep unecessary posts away.

It is NOT dead, and one of the reason Oleg is not around is THE indication of that. They are extremely busy with development, working crazy hours, etc. Oleg mentioned to me that he did not forget about you people and that IF he has time, he will organize some kind of update in the nearest future.

The end

Dear Crazyivan

I believe that a new post by Oleg with news about development could delete this rumors.

Last post is from 2 months ago !

I think that Oleg should spend some minutes to keep alive interesting for SOW.

Thanks for answering.

Considering the tension and how frequently people come here and check for news and post demands for news, because there are none, I think the interest for SoW couldn't be much higher ATM.

And again, Ivan posted that, because he is not bound that strictly to some rules, other people are, who probably signed a contract personally.

But in all fairness, it only takes like 2+ minutes for someone to say "we're progressing well, here's a screenshot".

We should of course give 1C plenty of leeway, but a change between being very communicative and being totally non-communicative is bound to raise suspicion.

I think just the occasional communication is plenty enough for most of us. Why is this so difficult?

Maddox has given the many updates, screenshots, and stated all is full speed ahead at this point. With the latest news that there will be another update in a week or so. Not sure what else they can do or how people can expect more. I know I've checked the various forums twice a day for info on SOW since 2004. There is more info on SOW than any other WW2 prop combat sim in development bar none. Atleast the wait can now be measured in months rather than in years.

I would really love to see a 30 to 45 second video clip of a Spitfire (or any aeroplane frankly) being blasted apart by flak, AA and machine-gun as it flys along...it would speak volumes to how the damage model might look and feel.

AND I would love to see a 30 second video clip of Westminster Bridge or Piccadilly so we might truly understand the new depths of virtual life we will be fighting in...

These two clips would answer some questions for both "dogfighters" and "ground-pounders"...

(don't mind me I'm just dreaming...)

Not to worry, IL2-BOB will be along soon anyway.

SOW might not be dead but I am curious as to how high on the priority list it is at 1C/Ubi? Sure it's still being worked on but by who, Oleg by himself?
2080 hours x 5.5 years = ??

Many of you think that Oleg is doing this as a hobby, it's business. If the project takes too long it will just get cut "no more good money after bad" no matter how much time has already been put into it.
