URGENT! Oleg, please look here...The Enemy is comming!

[Feathered_IV]

My God. How short sighted can you all be??? This is not the enemy. This is potentially the best friend SoW could have.

Oleg has said many times that 3rd party and professional works will be allowed compatability in SoW. What if A2A and other companies produced aircraft like this that can be installed into SoW the same way such addons can be added to FSX? Don't you see? This is where Maddox Games will finally get to make a decent living, by creating a 3rd party industry around SoW. Sow will help sell copies of professionally made addon aircraft, and these addons will help sell more copies of SoW.

If Oleg is smart, he'll be negotiating with A2A and others to allow them to produce versions of future aicraft that can run in the SoW environment... for a fee.

SoW has the potential to bury FSX for customers who are into the short-hop flights. Don't willfully misunderstand me. I'm not talking about the 747's and whatnot. I'm talking about the civil types like Dragon Rapides etc, classic warbirds like the B-17 above and everything else in between. SoW has the potential to corner the market as a Classic Flight simulator. Not just a Combat flight simulator. No way can they make an Il-2 sized planeset on their own though. Opening SoW to commercial and 3rd party expansion is the key.

I must say, I'm suprised no one even mentioned it.

Good strategy indeed. I dream for the day, when company under such name will be established: UNITED SIMULATIONS CORPORATION PLC.

Sounds goooooooooooooooooooood!

Yep, the plan really is to get these third party developers to make content for Storm of War. I think it will be good. Probably a bit pricy to buy a lot of planes, but if they can make that favorite one to a super high level, nothing left out, I'll consider spending.

Does anyone recall if it was mentioned how compatibility would be solved when third party aircraft are entered? I think that it was said that the third party developers would submit their planes, and if of high enough standard they would be included and distributed with SoW patches/updates. Then one would have to pay to unlock it as flyable. But always be able to see other people who fly it.

The thought is appealing to me in ways because it could mean that people are more dedicated to learning a specific aircraft (in hardcore realism mode) correctly.

*chanting* Bf 110 - Bf 110 - Bf 110 - Bf 110 - Bf 110!!!
