also being that were still getting static screen shots and its still WIP, and were not getting a video for the next few weeks clearly, if they cant even show the ground, there's no possible way this will be release on sept 15th they will need at least a month after finishing probably 2 to get it distributed and ready for launch, i think at best you could hope for is Christmas at this point but most likely well be seeing 1st quarter 2010 release, which im in favor of i hope they take as much time and vacations as need be to make the perfect game

What is all this?
Do you realize these screenshots are only to calm the troops?
When videos are released the SOW will be close to release. Videos tell too much to competent viewers (competitors).
Oleg has worked for over 5 years, and most of us have been expectantly waiting. You can be assured the sim will be released in the near future.
Thinik about it....five plus years of payrolls to teams of people, along with all the management, administration and equipment needed to produce an exceptional software like SOW has cost a small fortune.
You can bet SOW investors are anxious and pressuring Oleg for a release as well.
Oleg is being pushed to release SOW. I can tell you he is a lot more anxious to get out from under all the pressure than he is about reading whines and complaints from users on this forums.
The best thing for us to do is lighten up and maintain a positive expectant attitude.
There is plenty going on with IL2. I've found most people that are all over the forums complaining aren't doing anything with IL2 now. IL2 is a long way from being a dead puppy.
The ONLine game IL2 Forgotten Battles on Hyperlobby is busy as a hornet's nest and has a large number of participants.
Take some of that aggression out there. THere are plenty of people that will be glad to hand you your head there, if you aren't very careful.
Not picking on you here, just saying. OK
The screenshots we are getting are awesome, and they seem to get better each week.
The SOW is really coming together now as we are seeing.
