I think it's time for us to just sit down and wait for SoW to arrive.....

Sounds like a great time to take a holiday to me!

Of course I am being overly optimistic and have often been told I live in a different world to normal people. (generally by my wife!)

Cheers!

Holy Mackerel! Imagine if Oleg has already gone through Beta testing and is ready to go GOLD. All these images are a ruse to his real intentions. He'd have to threaten "death, torture and banishment to Detroit" to the one who would leak any info before he allowed anything to get to us. LOL. After all the patch leaks from IL2, that would be a crowning achievement, IMO.


edit: Oh what the heck. I'll go a step farther. While Jason (777 Studios) was in Russia a few months ago shoring up his dealings with neoqb, he was also pursuing publishing rights to BoB.

But alas. Robert steps back into reality.

Im 100% certain that if SOW was being beta tested that we would get to know about it, add to that we still have no dedicated website which is a 'must' for advertising purposes then i think that in all reality that Oleg is just taking some time off, however i would be very happy to be wrong.

Oleg has enough people working for him directly on the project to Beta the SOW.

Also, he has some very loyal friends that wouldn't spill the beans on a beta.

So, a beta release is probably never going to be a consideration.

When SOW gets far enough that release is close we'll probably start seeing SOW video track releases.

All very possible, but I cant imagine that SOW is anywhere near beta at this moment in time given Luthiers very recent post on how much they all hate the smoke and flames and what they currently have are "extremely WIP".

Agreed Tree. I'm mostly just having fun.

would make good business for 777 to look after that side of things..He Now has a good grounding with neoqb with Rise Of Flight and that would have to help his chances with the other russian company of Olegs.

O_Smiladon

Regarding 777 Studios? I'm just wishful thinking. Jason has a good business head, and a passion for simming. From my experiences on various forums he's been a great advocate for the simmer and this hobby. I'm not trying to start a rumour mill...... just a bit of fun prognostication.

I'd like to see this pairing of the two groups.

So anyone reading...... take nothing I say about 777/Maddox Games/BoB seriously.

(Just in case some should run with my rave )
