Not much else to talk about until the release then.

I hear you about the little paper bags with handles

jeez I forgot how good the landscape looked in that early DVD, I wonder what happened? Does look a lot like WOP though, apart from the colours.

why do we not see any recent replies replies from oleg maddox ---- does anyone know when this will release --- will it just happen suddenly without much prior warning and wasn`t it supposed to have released on the bob memorial day which I believe has now passed ?

what is the delay --- what`s holding up this release --- there isn`t even any news of a beta test ?

have they still not resolved the licensing issues ?

sorry to be asking this one again folks but I am still trying to find out what the piece of music was in the youtube post of 2/7/2010 of an aircraft with a plume of black smoke --- the post was removed from youtube but it can still be seen if you type in youtube battle of britain storm of war and there is a link there to lots of youtube posts on BOB storm of war

for people who like music here`s one for you -- it`s the song as used in the end credits of smauel l jackson`s film " cleaner " ---- cory chisel -- gettin by and it`s on youtube

September 15th is "Battle of Britain day" but there is 100% no chance of seeing SOW by then....im hoping for a xmas release.

Oleg hasn't officially said he will not make the 15th of September, so theres always hope, and he did say that thousands would be playing by October.

On the other hand we are still waiting for his may 2008 system specs!!

I'll be on cloud 9 if these actually make it into SOW.

lets hope it doesn't get nuked

The landscapes are better now, if you see them in HD. The landscape in the video is the same as il2.

I'm guessing that Oleg has realized that the SOW community here at the 1C Forums has reached the point where they can no longer help him and his team.

Not because development has reached a point where it's all minor code, but because this forum has evolved into a whining circle-jerk of unrealistic expectations and impossible additions to a simulator that has to run on hardware available within this decade.

How can you people possibly help the dev team when all you do is whine every week about "terrain, clouds, smoke, and fire", things Oleg and company have already told you a million times they are working on, and are not final.

If you want to be helpful, point out mistakes on things they might not have noticed, like the overlapping damage textures on the stuka a month ago, or how the 110's pitot tube was in the wrong place, or how the A&M logo in the Spit's cockpit was wrong, or how "X" plane was not avaliable at "X" date, so should not be seen in the earlier part of the game.

Not just complaining about the same 4 things that Oleg has told you a million times are being changed because even they are not happy with the current results.

[Insuber]

you are complaining too much for my taste
