I think you understand my point Foo'bar. Oleg could have waited until just before the release date and published a fantasy video like the one I posted. Instead he's chosen to show us the "real deal."

CFS3 was highly criticized after release and you could say it really hit the shelves. My copy is still on the shelf after several frustrating attempts to enjoy it. SoW will be a different story. After its release there might be a few growing pains but I believe it will another long-running playable and re-playable sim like IL-2 Sturmovik.
