Oleg,

You are speaking about a "new engine".
What do you mean with this?
Starting all over again with all objects?


"the final release…. Which isn’t soon really…. "

So we have to wait for September 2009 ???

Don't panic. SoW is the new engine.

But even if the models were all completely finished, you'd still have to make all the effects, put it together and make it a full game, with GUI and all that.

They have an alpha now, so we're on the way, but it doesn't mean we're close, yet.



Patience.


Doesn't matter if it will be this year or next year - it will be awesome and it's better to not rush it out of the door.

Hello Oleg , just wanted to say , the update of the flight models is about what I expected , what Has impressed me though is the new texture of the grass , if this is an indication of the new map to come , I cant wait , I know from what youve said theres a long way to go , but still ... I cant wait.

Hi all,

I'm impressed. In fact, I'm more impressed than someone who is exceedingly impressed!

The aircraft put any other sim to shame.

The vehicles and 88 are superb.

And as a bonus we have confirmation that all is well with the development of SoW.


Oleg for President !!

Oleg, is the Flight Model finished for BoB, or still a work in progress "Beta" stage? Can you update us on the status of 4.09m final ? Thanks

Dear Oleg
In the past you have refered to multi-manned positions in at least the Tigermoth trainer and if I am not mistaken the bombers as well.
That I still hope holds true. My question is will your fellow crew members be modeled.
IE if I am the pilot of a J88 will I be able to see an animated rendering of my front gunner as in the current H111 or will I be flying an empty plane as is the current state of affairs.
As you seem to have entered the early Alpha stage I was wondering if you have any idea what sort of system will be needed to get the best out of SOW?
Without giving too much away, is there anything in the sim that will truly rock our socks-off. By this I mean, either something us simmers have never seen before or something that is of a standard so high other developers will spend years catching up
And by this I do not mean the graphics, as they are already out of this world I am refering to any snippet of news about the actual sim.
Your ground models seem almost online of war-ish capable and I am sure a ground war and air war could be seemlessly created, would this be possible?

Lastly will the player have the opportunity to strategically direct the air war in say an improved BOB2 type interface in single player or will their role be restricted to only flying within a dynamic environment?
