Can we request an update?

[Lazarus]

If Oleg gives us an update, I will send him a Starbucks card! In fact, if Oleg gives us an update, I will send you a Starbucks card too. (There is NO WAY that there is no Starbucks in Moscow) It's probably called Starmovik Bucklovski's

For most of us, I don't think we even care if he answers questions. We just want an update

Thanks

Can i just add that if the problem was financial but he didn't want to tell us, i personally would be happy to donate a small amount to the team (and don't think i'm made of money, i struggle myself). But just think that if we all donated a little it would make alot. OK we have all paid for our il2/fb/pf/pe2/1946, and we could easily sit there and say hell no i'm not obliged to give any more money away, but at the end of the day, we all have been waiting a long time for this baby.

Anyway, it's no big deal for me, i'm still enjoying the fruits of il2.

About a year or so before you got into the sim (during PF development), many of us donated money to Oleg when his car got hit by a garbage truck. There was a Paypal account and everyone chipped in what they could to get him back on the road. I swear to God, it really happened. I've still got the email he sent me after.

That's very interesting Feathered, hadn't heard of that before.

I'm just hoping that if we are polite, we can somehow convince Oleg to let us know a little about how things are progressing. I hope it's not begging, but rather a dignified request for some information.

Personally, I'm going to see if we can get a response with this method. If not, then yes I'm just going to get on with my life. I'm not spending any more time chasing a Duke Nukem Forever.

At least tell us the YEAR it's going to be on the market!!!!

LOL...good luck friends, but I have a feeling that Oleg will update us when 'he' is ready.

Proton45, you're surely correct. But at this stage, an update could be simply 'Really busy! Don't worry, everything's going fine' and I'm positive that would be really appreciated.

FeatheredIV said that answering some queries only leads to more and more complicated questions and I can totally see where he's coming from, if I've understood him correctly.

I don't expect Oleg to read this thread and say 'Hey OK, here's exactly what we're doing etc etc', but I think it would be really good PR if he, or someone from his team, would just let us know if they're all ok and the project is fine. If they choose to divulge more than this then excellent; however, I really don't ask for anything more than just some response.

Let's be honest, wouldn't we all appreciate that?

hit the nail on the head mate....would take him or one of his team 20 seconds at most

Now, really, how many times did he do exactly that or asked somebody else to do so. The last time is just two week old:

Concerning the Q&A:

Oleg contacted me a couple of weeks ago to say he has not forgotten about it and apologized for the delay. He has always told me when he could not do a write-up for SimHQ, and has always been good to provide content when promised. He has lots of stuff going on right now, so we all need to be patient a bit longer. We want to see it as much as you do.
