Beating a dead horse

[nearmiss]

Well, after over 2 years of waiting on BOB SOW I'm thinking we are beating a dead horse.



The 4.09 Patch has never been completed.

The Birds of Prey (Console game) appears to have 16 poly aircraft over a landscape that looks like what has been promised in SOW.

I'm not going to speculate or try to run anyone aground here.

Developing a really competent Combat flight simulator is a huge task compared to putting out a console game. Everything is done when the console game is released. The controller and software that drives the game is a done deal, and whatever limitations of the console hardware and software are fixed.

I can understand a departure from a Computer based CFS that has variable issues with graphics, sound, controllers, mission builders, etc. some darned complicated stuff.

I'm hopeful there will be an SOW. Oleg has always been such a super guy about keeping everyone up to speed, but I'm thinking he's off on something else and just keeping us going with an occassional posting.

IMO, I've had a great run with the IL2 series.

We haven't had one material thing promoted to us, but words and a few graphics over the past years.
