The future of COD. Oleg or Luthier or Nike-it

[furbs]

With the speculation of Oleg leaving the team, could we have some info into what is going to happen with the future of COD?

Is the team going to carry on with support, patches and addons?

please can we leave replys for Oleg, Luthier or Nike-it and not have a free for all with everyone guessing and adding to the gossip.

cheers.

Well, according to Jason (running 777 studios producing Rise of Flight) who recently posted about this over at SimHQ - according to his source - Oleg stepped down 1.5 years ago and Ilya has been running the show since then:

And as Jason previously has said Ilya is a good friend (they live close to each other in California) I guess the source is VERY close to Ilya

A bit weird that he posts this though, but I guess 1C will not let the lid off now the day before the release in Russia...

So, I really think that there is no "cow on the ice" as we say in Sweden Ilya is very competent and committed to delivering top notch sims in the same way as Oleg, who will probably stay as a senior advisor and have some role in the development. This situation is maybe even better than before... Oleg gets some deserved rest and Ilya will continue the heritage just fine!

Interesting.

Hope Ilya is still committed to SoW: Korea, this is the sim I'm waiting for more than any other for years now.

Guys, I can officially say, that the IL-2 seriers will be supported with all kind of updates and patches. More over the series will be expanded with new projects.

If the IL2: CoD is a good simulator, so open and "easy" of modding, now it's only moment to earn money. So, the main work is done already. Of course there are some bugs and tunning -like all simulators in the first version- but the central column is done.

I think that the master work of Oleg is already on IL2:CoD, and i am sure he will go back, the simulation it's like a virus, when you have it, you can't get rid of it.

But, like in my enterprise, perhaps the software director got all the cheers, but the real work is made but the singular programmers and annalists.

Wouldn't expect anything less from the best sim _ever_!

Hope we get to see one day in the future Il-2: Full scale ground & naval combat pack!

I thought as much - thanks for the info Mazex and Nike-it.

Now we can all get back to being impatient for the release...
