Just wondering --2010

[Bobb4]

One must remember that when IL2 was released the internet was dial-up in moost countries and magazine marketing was the way to go...
With the advent of superfast broadband you can build the hype around the sim within weeks rather than what took months before.
I firmly believe he is still on track for a late September release.
If one looks at both ROF and Silenthunter 5, both were hyped withing a weeks. In fact the Silenthunter 5 site was created about two months before launch if not less.
I agree with one of the posters in this thread that pointed to mission building, ai and graphic tweaking as being what is left to do.
The flight models will not change much from IL2, Oleg has already said this, just a few tweaks.
A lot of what we are seeing in TD's 2.10 patch may be closet tests of the SOW ai. An ai that cannot see through clouds or will not shoot at a friendly plane... The list is endless but I have to believe the advances in ai shows a close colaberation between the SOW team and TD

It´s OK for me a Christmas release.
The later the year , more powerful CPU we will have in the market to make this baby run fine,GPU will be the same we have now,probably ( Radeon 5970 and upcoming nvidia GTX 480)

I'll just be happy when it comes out. In 2005 the release date was set for 2007 (if I recall correctly).

The dev updates are nice while we wait.

They can even permit corrections

I was watching Avatar the other night and I thought to myself....."I have a better chance of living in that world than I do living long enough to see the release of BoB."

There is no way that this will be released in the Summer....everything would need to be much further along. You cannot ever get a game like this "perfect." Trying to do so is only chasing your tail!!! If you take too long the code is obsolete and you have to rewrite and catch up (sounds familiar). This game will definately have a patch no matter if it is releasede in the Summer of 2010 or Winter of 2011.

If i can say my 2 cents, (again) i don't see any final progress from screenshots.

Also the discussion about the DirectX seems at least weird to me. If i would be developing a game it would be the first thing to decide and choose\create and engine and not showing WIPs with two different DX solutions...Btw i'm not the best follower in here so maybe i'm completely wrong

This given i think it will take all 2010 to finish it.
