Not much else to talk about until the release then.

I hear you about the little paper bags with handles

jeez I forgot how good the landscape looked in that early DVD, I wonder what happened? Does look a lot like WOP though, apart from the colours.

why do we not see any recent replies replies from oleg maddox ---- does anyone know when this will release --- will it just happen suddenly without much prior warning and wasn`t it supposed to have released on the bob memorial day which I believe has now passed ?

what is the delay --- what`s holding up this release --- there isn`t even any news of a beta test ?

have they still not resolved the licensing issues ?

sorry to be asking this one again folks but I am still trying to find out what the piece of music was in the youtube post of 2/7/2010 of an aircraft with a plume of black smoke --- the post was removed from youtube but it can still be seen if you type in youtube battle of britain storm of war and there is a link there to lots of youtube posts on BOB storm of war

for people who like music here`s one for you -- it`s the song as used in the end credits of smauel l jackson`s film " cleaner " ---- cory chisel -- gettin by and it`s on youtube

September 15th is "Battle of Britain day" but there is 100% no chance of seeing SOW by then....im hoping for a xmas release.

Oleg hasn't officially said he will not make the 15th of September, so theres always hope, and he did say that thousands would be playing by October.

On the other hand we are still waiting for his may 2008 system specs!!

my apologies but I thought the anniversary was a few weeks ago -- however -- I think you are correct in saying that BOB SOW won`t be released in September -- the big question is -- who does know when it will be released !!!

although I am quite sure that it will be worth the long wait eventually

I was playing IL2 Birds of Prey on PC but I stopped for a few months and when I went back to it no matter what I did in the settings I just couldn`t get the joystick to work properly again so I gave up --- very frustrating --- now I am waiting for delivery of ROF Cross Of Iron on DVD --- hopefully this will work better than the previous download version which I could not get the hang of

[ptwparkinson]

sorry I don`t know how to post a link -- all you have to do is to go into youtube and type cory chisel gettin by in their search engine and play the one which ahd about 20,000 hits

so far the indications are still that it will hopefully be in the next couple of months. this is mostly going by the development updates of the last 12 months, and my personal impression is that oleg and Co are battening down the hatches to get ready for release

a couple of months ago oleg indicated he personally is working on the sequel to BoB already, so fingers crossed release should not be far off.

ps: i am one of the optimists around here

and as usual you get it all mixed up and cant seem to think straight, in a way i hope for you are doing this on purpose. because if you dont you really do have a serious problem and are a sad case, and should be pitied rather then made fun of

what oleg DID say (? in late 2009 ?) that he intended/hoped that by the anniversary of BoB in 2010 many 1000's of people would be playing it. officially the real BoB lasted untill late october, so there you are, its no more complex than that.

secondly, around the same period he might indeed have given an indication that in that "release date context" he intended to give an indication of the required system specs around may, at least that is what several people around this forum were quoting at the beginning of the year. the funny thing is, he pretty much did (and you missed it, unsurprising given your display of limited mental faculties). i think either the last week of may 2010 or the initial part of june he indeed made a post right here in this forum to indicate the system specs. that same quote has already been repeated here in other threads, and an oleg'ish translation and interpretation discussed

your so busy with your depressive destructive banter you'r not paying attention to what actually is being provided in news snippets. ahh but hang on, you actually need spoon feeding dont ya ? like big bold letters saying "oleg promises" or "formal announcement", with that mentality just stick to browsing game retail websites, dont fester in developer's forums because you'r in the wrong department

He DID say that thousands or hundreds should be playing my October and that anytime after that is not viable for the group. So basically they can't release it any later than this year as it just won't work financially. So Tree is correct to a large degree.
Luthier himself said even more recently that system specs will NOT be released until the sim is as anything can change until then, and he would not say what hardware he was using to play the sim as he wouldn't want people to buy that particular graphics card as it may not run the sim on the best settings.

So there we have it; Oleg wants the sim out this year but everything is speculative. I honestly don't care when it's released; I just want it to live up to the expectations Il-2 has set for me And judging by a majority of the screens and videos, this will happen.
