Oleg: Don't worry mate. Tree is a smart guy, he will understand the situation and tell it to the mob. Let him do the dirty job ...

That is so funny...

You aren't wrong either.

It may be same situation like with 'Rise Of Flight' and 'DCS Black Shark', when 2 sims had to fight for the market.

It looks like new DCS A10 and BoB will have approx the same release date.

And it will be funny to the madness if we will get 'Flight' from Bill at the same time. It is already represented.
Especially if we will remember almost 10 year old story about total fail of the CFS3, and who is responsible for that

I'll ship it that way you know. Try and stop me.

Any screenshots of our first person avatar holding flight controls? I certainly hope we dont get stuck with the invisible man view in pit again, like in IL2

Guys, don't forget that Tree and I came from the future...

[Novotny]

Some future where an apocalypse has rendered a generation utterly ignorant?

"Tucker Hatfield" = CFS3 fail leader

He went over to MSFT after "Red Baron", and somehow sold his way into a complete redo of an otherwise great sim, CFS2.

better the invisible man and visible instruments, don't you think old boy?

With all the bickering that goes on over the smallest of details...it makes me wonder if Oleg and crew are feeling "more" pressure to deliver a "near perfect" flight/combat/sim?

It makes me wonder if they decided to push the date (& not worry about) back because they where afraid of the negative reviews over a game that felt "unfinished"? Maybe they feel the community would rather have a game that was "right" as apposed to one that needed to be "patched" to correct a bunch of "little stuff".

Lets face it...at this point expectations are running pretty high, at this point people are expecting to be "impressed" with the final product.

p.s. I hope that no one if offended by my OT ruminations...

The more people talk about it on this forums the more their expectations surge.

Don't hang here so much, drop in every day or so. Give yourself a break, it doesn't matter what anyone says. The SOW will be released when Oleg is ready.
