Wise advice. Thanks.

Thanks for the update Luthier some superb work, so .....<Deep breath>......Is it possible that you could answer a few questions that most of us would like clearing up,

Anyhow here goes.

1. In May 2009 Oleg stated that it would be accurate to say that the sim was now 80% complete. Would it be possible to tell us what percentage we are currently at?

2. Would it also be possible to tell us if the sim is currently at the beta stage of deveolpment?

3. From the same simhq interview Oleg suggested that thousands would be playing SOW in October or maybe before. Is that still possible? If not will it be later this year or early next?


4. Will we see a dedicated SOW website?

Many thanks luthier.

Please note, these questions are for luthier to answer or Oleg if they choose to, If they choose not to answer then that is fine by me and understandable. If anyone wants to take issue with this post or make any snide comments or normal abuse then please pm me rather than post below.

+1 with greatest respect to Oleg and Luthier
I'm sure most of us would welcome an official update on the current status of the sim to replace the endless speculation and argument.

yep...if they cant or choose not to at this time its fine with me also...but would be great to get a heads up on where SOW is timescale wise.

Well...16 months ago, Oleg did indeed stated that the game was 80 % done...

At a rate of 1 % progress per month, that would mean 96 % is done...That is a more scientific and objective way to predict that the game will be finished in 4 months, just in time for Xmas !!!! Yeah !!!! Merry Xmas everyone !!!!

Can anyone explain why Oleg should release commercially-sensitive information just to satisfy the cravings of a few dozen forum obsessives? As I've pointed out before, the release date may not even be his decision. He may well be in negotiation with publishers, or be contractually obliged to not disclose such information. Even if he knows the projected release date, and is free to disclose it, he may decide it is better left undisclosed. A surge of publicity about a finished product is likely to do more for sales than a dribble of information that only interests a few...

This forum isn't just about you, Tree. This thread isn't about you at all. If you didn't keep repeating the same tired old stuff at every opportunity, nobody would need to make comments.

Stop playing with fire. You saw that Tree wrote that, and deliberately responded to cause negative waves.

I see that kendo responded in a much more eloquent way above me.

Oleg and luthier; can the oxygen tank be hit on enemy aircraft meaning oxygen use is limited at heigher altitudes causing pilots to black-out...?
