none of these important exercises can commence until SoW is released

I can't wait for the 30+ pages on the theme "Uber .303's shot me down in my 109! Impossible!!!!", followed by 1000 photo's of various bombers riddled by .303 rounds, and various quotes on how the LW pilots called them door-knockers!

Cheers and merry christmas to all! Ho! Ho! Ho!

Predicting the release date... that might be cause for celebration.

Otherwise, any naysayer is as much a prognosticator as yourself.

The principal difference with you... most of them keep shut after they've said it once.

LOL

A cause for celebration would be when i am completely wrong and we finally get to see this game, my latest prediction is last quarter 2011, the main delay in this project IMHO is severe FPS issues. When we see a SOW website the game will be released 3-6 months later.

I never post on here i just usually sit back and wait for updates, but on the off chance that Oleg and his team actually pays attention to these things (and i hope he doesn't) i feel its time i chime in. I do not know of one other company or person that allows this kind of interaction of a games development and even goes so far as to ask for tips on specific items of concern prior to a game coming out and then using the feedback in final game content. Now maybe a lot of game developers do this and i just don't know but i have been gaming for almost all of my 31 years and have NEVER once come accross this personally. Threads and posts like this one show you very clearly how human nature can be. "if you give a mouse a cookie". While the rest of the world sits in darkness waiting for the next iteration of there favorite game series to come out if ever, we enjoy constant although at times intermittent contact with the very person that is developing our favorite game. Now to some this may seem like an opportunity to consistently demand more and more and more and more. (mouse-cookie) but for me i consider this to be a great privilege and i look forward to any and all updates that we receive. I truly hope that the abusers of this privilege (you know who you are ) take into account that the access we have and the interactive way in which Oleg and his teams go about making these games is NOT a requirement by any means and at any time (much to the detriment of the game and us) they could decide to not do this type of development any more and leave us all hanging in the breeze with no word for years just hoping that our new game might be in the works. Now like i said up top i truly hope that all of the impatient and seemingly ungrateful mice that refuse to just accept what they get as OVER and ABOVE what they normally get, will not spoil this for everyone who really appreciates this approach to game design and development. but I guess it would not be the first time in world history. Many Many thanks to everyone who works on these epic flight sims that are in my opinion still the very best ever made and thanks for your unique and appreciated approach to how they are created.
