It's Friday and it's September!!

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...

That's ok
No worries
I've been designing real aircraft for more then 25 years now so I know how it feels when people comment on your work.

Reggiane does raise a good point though in that we hear nothing at all from Oleg's team, if there is one. We know that Ilya (Oleg's right hand man) has moved to America which is strange if we believe what Oleg has told us that SOW will be released within a year. To lose such a key man at such a crucial time must hurt somewhat. Apart from Ilya and a mention from Oleg of some nameless modders, who else is actually working on the project fulltime?

tree that is exactly the point I was trying to make.
(almost)All of the BOB SOW info we got sofar was from Oleg himself not from anyone else.
I have no idea how big the company is but as there has been no leakage at all from Olegs team for so many years one could be lead to believe that either BOB SOW is a one man effort OR Oleg keeps his crew under a very serious
embargo NOT to let ANY details of the game slip.

As English is my 5th language I was unable to communicate this properly to poor old bigbossmalone my apologies if I did not get the message across well enough.

no worries reggiani - like I said, when I read it initially it just looked like you were letting rip in a big way, but after a few more reads, its probably not that bad...
Some (most) of your points are pretty valid, but I just felt the attacking Oleg part was a bit heavy-handed.
All good, though, please carry on and never mind me...I'm still trying to work off last nights hangover, as well, which probably doesn't help....

this had a 'ring' of truth for a while, because of several factors which I won't go into now ..... but the project is steaming along nicely now. Finally ....

Not being rude but how do you know that?

[furbs]

well...give Oleg a poke to remind him about the bleeding screenshots!

If my memory serves me right (wich it actually increasingly seldom does) Oleg said sometime ages ago that 4.09 would not be released untill SOW:BOB had reached a certain stage of development.
I think it is fair to assume that SOW:BOB now has reached that certain stage. Whatever stage that is.
That should clear things up, I guess!!

that would be pre-alpha with no screen shot stage?
