The usual pattern of events is for the content to be submitted to MG. It languishes in their office for an extended period. In the meantime, 3rd party contributors (DT) continue to finish off other content. This makes the release of the original patch seem uneconomical, and it is eventually decided to roll the new content into the current patch as well. The cycle of testing, compiling and waiting begins again.

Personally I don't expect 409 before April 2010.

Well you can wait.... as for me I'm downloading 4.09 right now. (Pssssssssst. You forgot about the pre release beta patches being distributed. I still remember the hub bub over the 4.01 pre release.)

Just downloaded mine. Veeery happy to be wrong too!

Extracted to a subfolder first for a look see. Interesting stuff. Now to give it a whirl....

The lack of updates is disappointing really.
I've seen more updates on the not to be mentioned ever so naughty and ever so forbidden mod sites.
Those good people produced planes and update pictures by the wagonloads. And they DO have other jobs and do this kind of work in their spare time.
Now why can Oleg not be botherd to post a screeny or two here or even on some vague website nobody has ever heard off?
It is part of his job to keep his customers interested in his companies work.
If the good man fails to do so he is not doing his job very well.
It could be wise to start to contact any of Olegs other partners or teamworker to discuss Olegs place in the company.
It is time for revolution! No more Olegs tiranny !!!
free the people free BOB SOW from the evil tirant and his evil plans.
The fact that not a single of Olegs programmers or coworkers have contacted the outside world is a tell tale sign something is wrong in Olegs office.
Those poor people have been taken hostage , enprisoned in their own workplace.
I bet there are dungeons under Olegs office where the poor Maddox team is
forced to work under not so very comfortabele working conditions.
Those poor people are forced to attend to hours long office meetings and hear endless amounts of accounting dialog.

No my fellow pilots it is time to end the horror.
Call the Spetznats the navy seals or even better the famed Dutch marines to finally free the poor Maddox team and end the evil tyranny of Oleg.

reggiane, are you for real?
You're a damned ungrateful bugger, is all I can say.
I'm from team of one of the 'forbidden' mod sites, and if you talk like this there, I would ban you without comment.
Really, if you don't like it, keep it to yourself...

malone...err...you know that its a joke right??...you really cant be serious that you dont understand that??

[reggiane]

@malone
for your info. I was talking praise to the mods people not trying to insult them or commenting on their work.
And I was talking about the lack of info from Oleg about SOW BOB not the patch.
I have the highest regard for the modders and never understood why Oleg was so against the modding people in the first place.( other than online cheating possibilities).
Mods made Oblivion and fallout3 the succes that they are still today.
Most people do not play IL2 online so no problems with mods there.
The modding community either banned by Oleg or allowed with the new patch-team has made IL2 a much better game and deserve more praise by Oleg then they have had till now.
And yes my little calling for revolution against Oleg was a joke not to be taking too seriously. like duh.

[bigbossmalone]

ok, reggiani, if you say you were joking, I'll accept that.
I still fail to see the praise, and I doubt anyone else will see the funny part of it either, as it stands.
Maybe the humour went right over the top of my shallow head...
