More renders of SoW and Galba aircraft models.

Your post should put a damper on all the conspiracy theories - obviously there is a lot of hard work going on with both your team and Oleg's, the end result will be the best flight sim on the market again. As you said earlier the big word is 'patience' - both BOB SOW and your Korean Air War will be 'really' worth the wait.

So many people wanting information...some are to vocal and rude, but this is found through out life

Thanks for the clarification Luthier.
Any chance of an update on your home page; http://rrgstudios.com ? It’s almost a year since the last.

Sad but probably true.

At least I could understand it and I'm sorry the lack of active moderators here makes the UBIZOO look like a petting zoo compared to what some people make out of this forum.

Thanks for your patience with us, luthier and thanks so much for the insights into what is going on behind the scenes. Considering how many talented people are working on both titles, I'm sure the outcome will be more than worth the wait.

One question to both sims:
I see that both are based on the SoW-Engine. Does that mean that we can merge installations?
I was just thinking, that this would open the possibility for your team to work back through time adding content and MG to move forward, which would mean an awesome couple of years ahead for SoW and for us SIMers.

What few people post here ( in relation to total sales ) won't make any difference in the grand scheme of things if they choose not to buy BoB.
The fact that Oleg has received money for the copy ( or ten copies ) of Il2 that we have purchased does not make us the boss. If that were true, then we would have a classic case of too may chiefs and not enough indians, if you know what I mean.
Even in the latest update, many are speculating about this and about that..."Why is Oleg even working on this aircraft...What a waste of time" For all those who are skeptical, I wish you would keep your comments to yourselves. It is things like this that keeps Oleg and Ilya away, and this is not the first time someone has said this. Even Ilya has said himself that no "good" updates will be made for a while until things are "perfect" as there will be those that will whine and complain knowing full well that these are work in progress shots, not the final release.
Ilya almost came right out and said it. They are tired of the whining and complaining around here from some of you...This isn't right, that's not right...Even when patches were released for Il2 there were many complaints, about every single patch. It is true that there were some legitimate issues, and Oleg fixed them, but many were foundless.
Oleg is a good man with the same passion for WW2 aircraft that I have, and I am so glad that someone like him has taken so much of his time to make such a great work of art like Il2. But even that wasn't enough for Oleg. I am not sure what Oleg's motivations are ( but I am so glad he has them) but he had to do even better and start making SoW:BoB. I have been really impressed with this man in the past, and he has earned my trust as I am sure he has with many of you. I know that he is working hard and when the day comes that BoB has come to fruition, I will be overwhelmed to see how much was put into it.

Great minds think alike... (but you said it a little better then I did)

Jesus guys, you really need to get out more, i haven't found any of the posts in here to be rude or insulting I've seen some frustration a little bit of disbelief and a lot of questioning but nothing that would not happen on a day to day basis in any commercial business. All of these so called insults have done nothing but good, even Luthier has understood that there has been a break down in communication which he hopes to rectify over the coming months, so a big round of applause to all those people who have got the bollocks to ask questions to query statements and not to blindly go along with everything said, we could always start a new forum for all those people who want to sit and nod heads, cheer and agree - we could get president Bush to be a moderator!

P.S. Thanks for the last post Luthier keeping good comms is a definite step forward.

I can tell you that we are thinking about such feature. Howevere I think that MG will move forward with WWII, but Korea - also will move forward to the jet era. This is one of variants in future. Another - WWI. But we at MG will stay long enough with WWII. At least I hope so.

Probably will be possible not to merge Korea with BoB, but move aircacft from one to another with the limit for online gemeplay using theses planes. Mian programmer didn't confirm me that, but I should also check it with marketing guys..... I think you know what I mean

The BoB basic engine we are making for the series of sims and this development based on the experience with Il-2 on the market. We put there many features, that we will use even later, after BoB, but not yet in BoB.... Its normal if you want long life for you kid.

That sounds really, really great!

I took from the comments posted before that SoW will be able to simulate a great variety of objects and even avionics in great detail, but this really surpasses my highest hopes and I can understand even better why it takes so long and so hard work to get the SoW-engine done.

So, a few years into the future we *might* have one awesome realistic simulation covering almost all eras of flight, with the possibility of interchangeable objects and planes, probably spanning across half the globe.

Maybe this will enlighten some people about the magnitude of this project and of what lies ahead of us.


Thanks you, Oleg, luthier and your teams for your hard work!
