Understand, Furbs, you're not being doubted, its just that all other documentations point to later before the work started... announcing a 'roadmap' (so to speak) isn't beginning the work.
Read the link I provided earlier, it delivers a fair amount of clarity (in more ways than one)

It was more than a roadmap though, remember the video that came with the 1946 disk?
We were shown most of the stuff in that vid...full cockpit, weather system and clouds and shots of high detailed models, quite a bit of work.

'46 was released in '06 if memory serves correctly though

Luthier did some of translating for Oleg and helped with the Q and A.

Oleg showed us a bit of video and some screen shots of what they had done so far...spitfire cockpit, new weather and clouds...some new features.

Oleg looked very excited about SOW-BOB as it was called, as did everyone who saw the presentation...i know i was.

So yes...23rd November 2002, and it was slated for release in 2006 i think he said, but im not 100% on that.

Thanks, furbs. I didn't realize he had a side room show for BoB/CoD.

What was pretty cool was when Oleg started the Q and A, the first guy to speak said "I dont have a question Oleg, i just want to thank you for making Il2" and everyone just stood up and gave Oleg a round of applause!

I wonder if the same thing would happen with COD?

Do you? do you really wonder? or do you actually wonder how many people that comment will really aggitate?

personally I think if Cod hadn't been binned and further development through BoM etc had continued then yes, absolutely Luthier would have taken big applause in a similar situation.
